Cumming commercial stucco & EIFS. Property managers, boards, owners & builders.
Surface patches don’t stop the water
On a commercial building, the cheap fix for a stucco crack is sealant and touch-up paint. It looks fine from the parking lot for a season. If the crack has been letting rain into the wall, though, the sheathing behind it stays wet, and the damage keeps spreading under a surface that looks repaired. We see this often on Cumming retail and office buildings where a crack was patched several times before anyone opened the wall.
Our repairs start by finding the edges of the damage. We take moisture readings around the crack or stain, then cut back to dry, sound material. Wet sheathing is replaced, the weather barrier is lapped into what remains, new lath goes on, and the stucco is built back up in coats so the patch does not shrink and crack at its edges.
The finish is blended to match the existing color and texture. If the patch would still stand out on a large, sunlit elevation, we tell you before work starts and price a corner-to-corner recoat as an option.
Commercial stucco repairs in Cumming
Every repair starts with the same question: is water involved? The answer decides how deep the repair has to go.
Cracks at piers & corners
Cracks at storefront piers, window corners and control joints are routed, reinforced and refinished so they do not telegraph back.
Water damage & staining
Wet sections are opened, sheathing replaced and the leak closed at the window, parapet or roof line that caused it.
Impact damage
Damage from carts, delivery trucks, parking lot vehicles and removed signage is rebuilt in layers to full wall thickness.
Delamination & bulging
Coats that have separated from the lath are removed and rebuilt with proper bonding and mechanical attachment.
Parapets & roof-to-wall
Cracked parapet caps, open coping joints and missing roof-to-wall flashing are corrected and the wall below repaired.
Termite & rot damage
Damaged framing and sheathing are replaced and foam or stucco run below grade is cut back to proper clearance.
Choosing the right repair scope
Isolated repairs can be blended into the surrounding finish. When an elevation has years of patches, has faded unevenly, or has a texture that is hard to match, recoating corner to corner gives a uniform result and often costs less than chasing a perfect blend on every patch.
We tell you which approach fits each elevation, and why, before any work starts. The written quote separates urgent water intrusion from cosmetic work so owners, asset managers and boards can phase the cosmetic items into a later budget cycle if they need to. If a wall turns out to be more damaged once it is opened, you see photos and approve any change in scope before we go further.
| Scope | Best for | Finish |
|---|---|---|
| Crack repair | Isolated cracks, dry substrate | Spot blended |
| Section repair | Local water or impact damage | Blended to corners |
| Elevation recoat | Many patches, faded color | Uniform elevation |
| Remove & replace | Widespread wet substrate | New system |
How a commercial repair comes together
Hard coat stucco needs cure time between coats, so we plan the schedule, access and phasing before the first cut.
Survey & mark
We take moisture readings around the damaged area and at the details that fail first, so the edges of the damage are known before anything is cut.
- Readings mapped by elevation
- Leak path identified
- Photo documentation
Open & rebuild
Damaged stucco and substrate come out until we reach dry material. New sheathing, weather barrier and lath go in, lapped correctly, and the failed detail is corrected.
- Wet sheathing replaced
- Flashing & joints corrected
- Walkways protected
Coat & match
Scratch, brown and finish coats are applied and cured, then the color and texture are matched to the surrounding facade with custom-blended pigment and aggregate.
- Coats cured properly
- Custom color match
- Daily cleanup

Busy retail parking fields, service drives and cold North Georgia nights account for much of the stucco damage we repair around Cumming.
Ground-floor corners at shopping centers along Market Place Boulevard and the Highway 20 corridor take hits from carts, delivery trucks and landscaping equipment. Higher up, winter nights below freezing turn water sitting in hairline cracks into ice that opens them a little wider each year. Parapets and wall caps that were built flat instead of sloped crack first. We repair the damage and correct the detail that caused it.
Impact damage
Corners and piers near loading areas, drive-throughs and cart corrals, rebuilt with reinforced base coats.
Freeze-thaw cracking
Cracks that widen each winter at caps, ledges and other horizontal surfaces that hold water.
Hidden water damage
Stains and soft areas below windows and roof lines, opened to find the full extent of wet substrate.
