AStucco is one of the most popular exterior finishes for Florida homes and businesses. It’s durable, attractive, and designed to handle the state’s unique climate challenges. But here’s the truth: not all stucco is created equal.
Traditional stucco applications often look fine at first, but in Florida’s intense sun, humidity, and storm season, problems can show up quickly. Cracks, mold streaks, and water intrusion are common issues we see when property owners hire contractors who take shortcuts or use basic products. That’s exactly why Baseline Stucco & Paint was founded, to deliver a higher standard of stucco and exterior protection.
What Traditional Stucco Contractors Do
Most stucco contractors apply a standard finish that meets minimum requirements but isn’t designed for Florida’s environment long-term. The issues typically include:
- Quick fixes instead of prep work — surfaces aren’t properly cleaned or sealed before application.
- Basic products that fail fast — lower-quality stucco and coatings can’t handle Florida’s UV rays, salt air, and humidity.
- No real warranties — many contractors are gone by the time problems show up, leaving you to deal with repairs alone.
These shortcuts lead to cracks that let water in, discoloration from mold and algae, and exteriors that need repair or repainting far sooner than expected.
How Baseline Stucco Does It Differently
After 25+ years working exclusively in Florida, we’ve seen how traditional methods fall short. That’s why we developed a better approach:
Expert Prep and Application
We never rush the process. Surfaces are properly inspected, cleaned, and sealed before stucco is applied, because the foundation matters more than the finish.
Premium Products That Last
We use systems certified by STO, Dryvit, and Parex, brands designed to perform in high-moisture, high-UV environments. Combined with self-cleaning, mold-resistant coatings, our projects stay beautiful and strong long after traditional stucco starts failing.
Florida-Specific Experience
We’ve repaired thousands of Florida homes and businesses since 1999. From salt air damage near the coast to cracks caused by hurricane winds, we know exactly what this climate does to stucco, and how to stop it.
Warranties That Mean Something
We don’t just promise quality; we back it up. Our workmanship and manufacturer-backed warranties give property owners peace of mind that their investment is protected.
Why It Matters for Florida Property Owners
In a state where contractors come and go with every storm season, choosing the right stucco system can mean the difference between constant repairs and a home that stays strong year after year. Traditional stucco may look fine at first, but it isn’t built for Florida’s climate. Baseline Stucco & Paint delivers a system that truly protects your property, because we’ve spent decades learning what actually works here.
If you’re considering stucco for your home or business, don’t settle for the traditional approach that leaves you repainting or patching every few years. Choose the Florida experts who combine craftsmanship, premium materials, and real warranties.
