D&Co Homes handles stucco directly under our general contractor license — we don't subcontract this scope out.

We quote off the same rate card everywhere we work in Orange County — the price doesn't change because of your zip code, only because of the size, substrate, and condition of the area being repaired. We measure in person and quote in writing before any work starts.
EIFS / Synthetic Stucco
EIFS — Exterior Insulation and Finish System, often called synthetic stucco — looks like traditional stucco from the curb but is a completely different wall assembly: a foam insulation board, a base coat with embedded mesh, and a textured finish coat, instead of cement plaster over lath or block. Done wrong, it traps moisture behind the foam instead of letting it drain — which is the single most common and most expensive EIFS failure we see.
EIFS repair isn't something most general handyman crews are trained on, and a patch that doesn't match the original drainage detailing can make a small problem worse. We inspect the assembly before quoting, not just the visible crack.
Concrete Block (CBS) Homes
Most homes in Orange County are built CBS — concrete block stucco — meaning the structural walls are block, finished with a stucco coat over the exterior for weatherproofing and appearance. When that stucco layer cracks or fails, it's not just cosmetic: the block underneath is now exposed to Florida's rain and humidity, and water intrusion at that level is a lot more expensive to fix than the stucco itself.
We treat CBS stucco repair as a weatherproofing job first and a cosmetic job second — sealing out water is the actual goal, matching the finish is the visible part.
Inspection & Maintenance
We generally recommend a visual stucco inspection every 1-2 years, and sooner after any major storm. A stucco inspection in Orlando typically runs $300-$600 depending on home size, and it's meant to catch hairline cracks, soft spots, and staining before they become a bigger, wetter repair behind the wall. This is especially worth doing before a home sale or insurance renewal, when a stucco condition report is often requested.
A hairline crack is usually cosmetic. A crack wide enough to fit a coin into, or one that's actively growing, is worth a real inspection rather than a quick caulk-and-paint cover-up.
Licensing
Florida licenses a separate Certified Plaster and Lath Specialty Contractor credential for standalone stucco/plaster businesses, but a Certified General Contractor isn't required to subcontract this work out — it falls within the GC license's own scope. D&Co Homes holds a Florida Certified General Contractor license (CGC1531095), which covers stucco repair and installation directly, not through a separate stucco sub.
That matters because a lot of "stucco companies" advertising locally are unlicensed handyman operations with no state-verifiable license at all. Before hiring anyone for stucco work in Orlando, you can verify a license number directly at myfloridalicense.com.
Commercial & Property Management
Beyond single-family homes, we take on commercial stucco and EIFS repair for offices, retail buildouts, and property managers handling exterior maintenance across multiple buildings or units. For property managers and landlords, that usually means a standing relationship rather than a one-off job — one call for exterior patch and maintenance work across a portfolio instead of chasing down a different contractor for every property.
Common Questions
Small crack and patch repairs typically run $300–$800. Full stucco installation on a new or re-stuccoed wall runs roughly $6–$9 per square foot for traditional three-coat stucco. A whole-house re-stucco job commonly lands between $7,000–$15,000 depending on size and prep work needed. We measure in person and quote in writing before any work starts.
EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), sometimes called synthetic stucco, is a foam-backed, multi-layer wall system that looks like stucco but behaves very differently — it's more prone to trapped moisture if not detailed correctly, which is a common failure point. Traditional stucco is a cement-based plaster applied directly over a lath or masonry substrate. We work on both, but EIFS repair has its own set of rules and most handyman crews aren't trained on it.
Not structurally, but it's extremely common — most CBS (concrete block stucco) homes in Florida use a stucco finish over the block for weatherproofing and appearance. When that stucco cracks or fails, the underlying block is still exposed to moisture, so repairing it isn't just cosmetic.
Yes. Florida does license a separate Certified Plaster and Lath Specialty Contractor credential for standalone stucco/plaster businesses, but a Certified General Contractor is not required to subcontract this work out — it falls within the GC license's scope. D&Co Homes holds a Florida Certified General Contractor license (CGC1531095), which covers stucco repair and installation directly.
We generally recommend a visual inspection every 1-2 years, and sooner after any major storm. Stucco inspections typically run $300–$600 depending on the size of the home, and they catch hairline cracks and soft spots before they turn into a bigger, wetter problem behind the wall.
Most cracking traces back to a handful of causes: normal house settling, thermal expansion and contraction in Florida's heat, poor original mix or application, and water intrusion that softens the substrate underneath. A hairline crack is usually cosmetic; a crack you can fit a coin into, or one that's growing, is worth a real inspection rather than a quick caulk-and-paint fix.
