Residential Elastomeric Coating in Lake Worth Beach
Lake Worth Beach has the deepest inventory of pre-war stucco and mid-century CBS block homes. Applying a standard elastomeric over 100-year-old original stucco traps moisture, causing irreversible damage.

What Is Residential Elastomeric Coating?
Elastomeric coating protects stucco by bridging cracks and resisting UV/moisture. Lake Worth Beach complexity demands matching the system to the substrate: pre-war masonry needs breathable systems; mid-century homes need high-build acrylic for salt air. Wrong application causes lasting damage. Failure begins when UV degradation and thermal cycling cause cracks, letting salt-air chlorides penetrate and accelerate metal lath corrosion on Intracoastal properties, or trapping moisture in pre-war masonry, leading to blistering and delamination.{.mark}
Standalone elastomeric re-coating
Full exterior coating renewal over sound or freshly repaired stucco and masonry; for Lake Worth Beach's mid-century CBS block and cinder block homes where the substrate is intact and the existing coating has aged through UV exposure and salt-air weathering
Elastomeric coating as final protective layer
Applied after stucco crack repair, delamination repair, or full stucco re-application to complete the restoration scope with a continuous waterproof membrane
Surface preparation and crack repair
The required prerequisite; applying new coating over open cracks, active moisture, or failed adhesion produces a failed coating
Primer application
Manufacturer-specified primer matched to the substrate type and the Intracoastal salt-air exposure class of the specific elevation
Penetrating silane and siloxane sealers
For above-grade masonry surfaces where a film-forming elastomeric membrane is not appropriate, including original pre-war stucco assemblies where system compatibility requires a non-film-forming approach
Breathable mineral coating systems
For College Park and Old Lucerne's 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival and Mission stucco where synthetic elastomeric coatings trap moisture and damage original material
Why Act Now: The Case for Lake Worth Beach Homeowners
Costs significantly less than full stucco removal and re-application driven by lath corrosion or substrate damage that a correctly maintained coating cycle would have prevented
On Intracoastal and Lake Worth Lagoon-adjacent properties in College Park and South Palm Park, a failed elastomeric film opens a direct moisture path to the metal lath, accelerating delamination through salt-air chloride exposure within a single wet season
Addresses the source of coating failure, UV breakdown, thermal cracking, salt-air adhesion failure, moisture-trapping incompatible coatings on historic masonry, not just the visible surface blister or chalk
Extends the stucco system lifespan with correctly specified systems matched to the substrate type; for historic pre-war masonry, breathable systems prevent the moisture entrapment that damages original material from within

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 Elastomeric Coating FAQ
The questions Lake Worth Beach homeowners ask most. Tap any to expand.
College Park's Mediterranean Revival and Mission Style homes were built with original lime-based and Portland cement masonry assemblies that predate modern synthetic coatings. Standard acrylic elastomeric coatings form a film over the surface that traps moisture within the original masonry rather than allowing the wall to breathe. In Florida's humidity and rainfall, this trapped moisture cannot escape through the coating and instead drives deterioration of the original material from within, spalling, efflorescence, and progressive delamination of the historic fabric. The correct system for these homes is a breathable mineral coating that allows moisture vapour to pass through the wall while still providing surface protection. As Certified Jahn Applicators, Anthony Pennacchi & Sons is qualified to specify and apply these systems.
