What Is Commercial Stucco Repair?
Commercial stucco repair covers the full stucco envelope of a commercial building, crack repair, delamination repair, EIFS restoration, full system re-application, and protective coatings. In Lake Worth Beach, where the Historic Old Town Commercial District requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City's Historic Resources Preservation Board before any exterior stucco work can begin on a listed building, and where the entire seven-square-mile city sits between the Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon in a dual salt-air environment, the repair must address both the correct failure driver and the City's historic preservation compliance requirements simultaneously.
Material-compatible repair on Historic Old Town Commercial District buildings
1912-1949 Masonry Vernacular, Mediterranean Revival, Art Deco, and Moorish Revival commercial stucco on Lake Avenue, Lucerne Avenue, and Dixie Highway; requires Jahn restoration mortars and City COA compliance before permits are issued
Salt-air lath corrosion repair on Intracoastal and Atlantic-adjacent commercial facades
The entire city sits between two bodies of salt water; chloride-resistant specification is required across all Lake Worth Beach commercial corridors, with intensity matched to each building's proximity to Lake Worth Lagoon or the Atlantic
EIFS repair and restoration
Re-adhesion, mesh repair, and finish coat restoration on EIFS-clad commercial buildings along Federal Highway and Dixie Highway
Full commercial facade stucco removal and re-application
Where lath corrosion has advanced beyond targeted repair; on historic buildings, finish specification must comply with City COA historic preservation guidelines
Protective elastomeric coatings and penetrating sealers
Required completion components on all Lake Worth Beach commercial facades given the city's pervasive dual salt-air environment
Why Act Now: The Case for Lake Worth Beach Building Owners
Commercial stucco repair costs significantly less than full facade removal or structural repair to elements behind failed stucco
On historic Old Town Commercial District buildings, a previous non-compliant mortar repair creates a COA compliance issue that must be resolved before any new permit is issued, acting correctly now avoids compounding the problem
Pervasive salt-air from both Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic means every open crack or failed control joint on a Lake Worth Beach commercial facade admits chloride from at least one direction
Resolves Florida milestone inspection stucco deficiency citations on Federal Highway and Dixie Highway commercial buildings within the 25-year coastal inspection window
Phased scheduling keeps commercial tenants and Lake Avenue businesses operating during repair
Backed by a written workmanship warranty with COA-compliant documentation for City historic preservation records and Florida milestone inspection compliance files

Our 6-Step Process
From First Call To Final Walkthrough
Every project follows the same disciplined sequence. No improvising, no shortcuts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Restoration
What we recommend in the majority of cases we assess in Lake Worth Beach.
Replacement
When the substrate is gone or the structure is past saving.
We give you a straight answer after the assessment, not after looking at the size of the contract.

Frequently Asked
Lake Worth Beach Stucco Repair FAQ
The questions Lake Worth Beach owners ask most. Tap any to expand.
A Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) is required by the City of Lake Worth Beach before any exterior alteration, including stucco repair, can begin on a property within a designated historic district or an individually designated landmark. The COA must be approved by the City's Historic Resources Preservation Board and is required before a building permit can be issued. This applies to all contributing commercial buildings in the Historic Old Town Commercial District on Lake Avenue, Lucerne Avenue, and Dixie Highway. Starting exterior stucco work without a COA is a code violation that can result in stop-work orders and mandatory remediation. Anthony Pennacchi & Son's prepares the COA application and manages the Historic Resources Preservation Board submission as part of every scope on Old Town commercial properties.
