Holes and damaged sections in stucco should never be ignored in Lee County’s climate. Openings expose wall systems to rain, humidity, and pests, increasing the risk of water damage and interior issues.
Professional stucco hole and patch repair restores the wall’s protective barrier, improves appearance, and helps prevent small problems from becoming costly repairs.

Why Stucco Holes Should Be Repaired Quickly in Lee County
In Lee County’s climate, even small holes in stucco can quickly turn into larger problems. Heavy rain, wind-driven storms, and high humidity make exposed wall areas especially vulnerable.
Fast Moisture Intrusion
Open holes allow rainwater to bypass the stucco’s protective barrier entirely. During summer storms, water can enter wall cavities in minutes, leading to substrate damage and interior staining.
Pest and Insect Entry
Unsealed openings provide access points for insects, rodents, and nesting pests—especially in warm, coastal environments like Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Bonita Springs.
Expansion of Damage
Once moisture reaches exposed lath or sheathing, surrounding stucco can weaken and crack, turning a small patch into a larger repair area.
Appearance and Property Value
Visible holes or mismatched patches negatively impact curb appeal. HOA communities and commercial properties throughout Lee County often require prompt, professional repairs to maintain appearance standards.
