Stucco Repair in Rancho Cucamonga, Upland & Chino Hills
Cracks filled. Holes patched. Texture matched so the repair disappears. Then sealed and painted, not just painted over.
What stucco repair from Black Horse includes
Black Horse stucco repair covers hairline and settling cracks, holes from old fixtures, chipped corners and failed patches. Cracks are opened and filled, damaged sections are patched, the texture is matched to the wall around it, and every repair is primed and sealed before two coats of paint. It is usually done as part of an exterior repaint, so the whole wall finishes as one surface.
Painting over a crack does not fix it. Paint bridges the gap for a season. Then the crack shows back through and water finds its way in behind the finish.
That is why every crack gets opened, filled and sealed before a drop of color goes on. Repaired. Primed. Sealed. Then painted.
Elastomeric or standard coating?
Standard 100% acrylic is the right call for most sound stucco. Elastomeric coating is thicker and stretches, so it bridges hairline cracks and keeps flexing as the wall moves. It also breathes less, so it only goes on stucco that is dry and in good shape. We pick one after we inspect your walls, and we tell you why.

Straight answers.
Should stucco cracks be repaired before painting?
Yes. Paint alone does not close a crack. It bridges it for a season, then the crack shows through again and lets water in behind the finish. We open, fill, texture and prime every crack before paint so the finish lasts.
What is the difference between elastomeric and regular stucco paint?
Elastomeric coating goes on much thicker and stretches, so it bridges hairline cracks and moves with the wall. Standard 100% acrylic is thinner and breathes more. Elastomeric suits stucco with a lot of hairline cracking. Standard acrylic suits sound stucco. We recommend one after we inspect your walls, and we tell you why.
What paint do you use on stucco?
Usually Sherwin-Williams Emerald Rain Refresh or a Dunn-Edwards exterior paint, chosen after we inspect the walls. Where hairline cracking calls for it, we use an elastomeric coating instead and tell you why.
Can you match my existing stucco texture?
Yes. Sand, lace, dash and smooth finishes are matched to the surrounding wall before primer and paint, so the patch disappears once the wall is painted.
Are hairline cracks in stucco normal?
Yes. Hairline cracks are common in Inland Empire stucco from heat, curing and normal settling. Wide cracks, cracks that keep growing, or stair-step cracks can point to movement or a water problem. If we think you need a structural or stucco contractor first, we tell you before we paint.
Do you do stucco repair without painting?
Stucco repair is almost always part of an exterior repaint, because a patch has to be primed and painted to match the wall. If you only need a few repairs, call us and we will tell you straight whether it makes sense.
