The best place to start if it has been a while, is to either call us or submit an inquiry on this website. We will learn about your home, make inspector recommendations, and help walk you through a process of resealing and repairs that leave your home in a great spot going forward. We will also help you understand how to maintain it going forward.

Yes, damaged or cracked stucco can allow moisture to penetrate the wall system, leading to rot, mold, and interior water damage. If you see water stains, peeling paint, or musty odors indoors, it may be time to schedule an invasive stucco inspection and repair.

Early intervention prevents costly long-term problems and preserves your home's structural integrity. We, of course, recommend that you take preventative measures before water has a chance to do this amount of damage.

A professional invasive stucco inspection is a thorough and systematic approach to helping identify specific areas of damage - whether it's water infiltration, settling, or failed sealants. At ICE Stucco Repair, we never guess. We base all repair proposals on detailed, fact-based inspections, ensuring repairs are accurate, cost-effective, and long-lasting.

If you have no reason to suspect damage, and simply want a stucco expert to paint your residential or commercial property, we would be happy to provide you with a proposal to do this.

We know that stucco can be a critical part of any sale, so we provide the following at the conclusion of every repair:

• Access to every photo we take during our work on your home.
• A comprehensive packet that includes all documentation in one document: Inspection Report, Proposal, Inspections, Invoices, Change Orders, Warranty, etc. All warranties are transferable.

Inspect Regularly: Examine your stucco exterior at least once a year for:

• Cracks, chips, or bubbling
• Discoloration or staining
• Areas where stucco may be pulling away from the wall
• Early detection helps prevent bigger issues

Clean Gently but Thoroughly: Houston's humidity encourages mold, mildew, and dirt buildup.

• Use a garden hose or a low-pressure washer with mild detergent (simple formula is 1/3 Dawn + 1/3 bleach + 1/3 water)
• Use a soft-bristle brush or cloth for tougher spots
• Avoid high pressure water, which can damage the stucco

Maintain Gutters and Downspouts: Make sure rainwater is diverted away from the stucco walls.

• Clean gutters regularly
• Extend downspouts away from the foundation
• Check for water pooling near walls after rain

Trim Landscaping: Keep trees, shrubs, and vines away from the stucco surface.

• Prevent trapped moisture
• Avoid physical damage from branches rubbing against the wall

Check Flashing Integrity: Inspect metal flashing around:

• Windows
• Doors
• Rooflines or balconies
• Make sure flashing is sealed and properly diverting water away from the stucco.

Schedule a Professional Inspection and Sealant every 2 years: A complete invasive stucco inspection every two years from one of our recommended stucco inspectors will help:

• Identify hidden issues
• Test for moisture behind walls
• Recommend proactive repairs before problems escalate

Address Water Intrusion Immediately: If you notice interior signs like:

• Wall stains
• Musty smells
• Peeling paint or mold
• Act fast. Water infiltration behind stucco can lead to serious structural damage.
