Homeowners in South Florida frequently choose stucco as their home exterior due to its fresh, timeless appearance. However, if this material is left for too long without a fresh coat of paint or stucco sealer, it may become worn down.

Without a layer of sealer to protect your stucco against the elements, the surface may begin to absorb water. This could wreak havoc on the structural integrity of your home if it is left unprotected for an extended period of time. Additionally, you may start to notice a buildup of mold on the exterior or interior of your house.

If you notice white marks, then you are long overdue for a new coat of stucco sealer. Make sure you have a professional assess the water damage prior
