What Is Commercial Stucco Repair?

Commercial stucco repair addresses the full stucco envelope of a commercial building, facade stucco on office and retail buildings, EIFS systems on mid-rise structures, stucco on parking structure facades and stairwells, building envelope stucco repair and re-application, Mizner-influenced or architecturally protected commercial facades, and protective elastomeric coatings and sealers on commercial masonry and stucco surfaces. In Boca Raton, where Ordinance 5589 requires threshold buildings 30 years or older to undergo recertification inspection with repair plans submitted for any identified deficiencies, the stakes of an unaddressed facade stucco failure extend beyond liability, they reach into regulatory compliance and building re-certification timelines.

01

Building facade stucco repair

Crack repair, delamination repair, and spall repair on commercial building envelopes across Boca Raton's office and retail corridors

02

EIFS repair and restoration

Re-adhesion, mesh repair, base coat and finish coat restoration on EIFS-clad commercial buildings throughout the city

03

Full stucco removal and re-application on commercial facades

Complete system removal and rebuild where lath corrosion or substrate damage is too extensive for targeted repair

04

Parking structure facade and stairwell stucco repair

Salt-air chloride exposure on Intracoastal-adjacent parking structures and thermal cycling on inland parking decks; both require specific material specifications

05

Protective elastomeric coatings and penetrating sealers on commercial stucco and masonry

The waterproof protective layer that extends facade system life and resists the coastal UV and humidity conditions Boca Raton's commercial buildings face year-round

02Why Act Now

Why Act Now: The Case for Boca Raton Building Owners

01

Commercial stucco repair costs significantly less than full facade removal and re-application or the structural repairs to elements behind failed stucco that result when moisture is left unchecked

02

Spalling stucco on occupied facades above public entrances and tenant walkways creates falling hazard liability that compounds with every rain event

03

Addresses stucco failure at its source, moisture ingress through failed control joints, cracked penetrations, or lath corrosion, not just the surface crack visible from the street

04

Resolves Ordinance 5589 structural inspection stucco deficiencies before they escalate to additional citations or enforcement action by the City of Boca Raton

05

Completed with a phased programme that keeps the building operational and minimises tenant disruption during execution

06

Backed by a written workmanship warranty with full documentation for building records, engineer of record submission, and Ordinance 5589 compliance files

Our 6-Step Process

From First Call To Final Walkthrough

Every project follows the same disciplined sequence. No improvising, no shortcuts.

01
Day 1

Free On-Site Assessment

We inspect every affected element, perform delamination mapping, depth testing, and substrate evaluation. For recertification properties, we review the engineer's deficiency report alongside our findings.

02
Within 1 week

Written Scope And Fixed-Price Proposal

Fully itemised, fixed-price proposal. For recertification scopes, includes material specs, mix designs, and methodology that the building department and the engineer of record require.

03
Pre-mobilisation

Pre-Construction Coordination

Coordinate with property managers, HOA boards, building engineers, and tenants. Phasing plans, parking deck traffic management, and tenant communication established before site mobilisation.

04
Day 1 of work

Surface Preparation

All deteriorated and chloride-contaminated concrete removed to the correct depth before any repair material is introduced. The step that determines whether the repair holds for the life of the building.

05
Main scope

Repair And Restoration

Repair mortars, injection resins, traffic coatings, waterproofing membranes, and sealers applied in correct sequence. We provide contractor's affidavit, material data sheets, and completion docs for recertification scopes.

06
Close-out

Final Inspection And Documentation

We walk every restored element with the property manager before close-out. On recertification scopes, we provide the written completion documentation the engineer of record needs to file with the city.

The Honest Answer

Restoration Vs Replacement

Some contractors push replacement because it generates a larger contract. We do not. Here is the head-to-head.

Recommended

Restoration

What we recommend in the majority of cases we assess in Boca Raton.

Last resort

Replacement

When the substrate is gone or the structure is past saving.

Typical cost

Frequently Asked

Boca Raton Stucco Repair FAQ

The questions Boca Raton owners ask most. Tap any to expand.

Boca Raton was the first city in Palm Beach County to enact mandatory building recertification requirements after the Surfside collapse, passing Ordinance 5589 in August 2021. The programme requires threshold buildings, those over three stories or 50 feet, or with large assembly occupancies, that are 30 years or older to undergo structural and electrical inspection, then repeat the process every 10 years. When structural inspections cite facade stucco failure, spalling, or delamination, the building owner must submit a repair plan to the City of Boca Raton, complete the repairs, and provide documented completion for the citation to close. Stucco failure is one of the most commonly cited facade deficiencies in these inspections. The 242 buildings in Boca Raton's initial Ordinance 5589 scope were prioritised starting from the barrier island and moving westward, which means many of them are now in or past their initial inspection and within a recertification cycle.
