LOOK FOR A PATTERN
Note whether cracks recur, widen, show displacement or align with openings and transitions. Staining or bulging can indicate additional conditions behind the finish.
KNOW WHEN TO INVOLVE AN ENGINEER
Not every crack is structural. Suspected structural movement, significant displacement or changing conditions need licensed engineering evaluation.
REPAIR THE CAUSE
Compatible stucco repairs, corrected joints and water-management details should precede the final coating. Repainting alone may not resolve the condition.
