Storm Season Exterior Checklist for Tampa Bay Homes
Before hurricane season, every Tampa Bay homeowner should walk their property and check these items: soffit and fascia for any loose or damaged panels that wind could tear away; exterior caulk around all windows and doors for cracks or separation; screen panels on pool enclosures and lanais for tears that storms will make worse; wood trim and fascia for any soft spots indicating rot; and fence posts for lean or looseness. Addressing these before a storm hits costs a fraction of post-storm repairs. Best Bay Services offers pre-season exterior walkthroughs where we assess all of these items, quote the repairs, and handle everything in one visit.
What Causes Stucco to Crack in Florida?
Stucco is the most common exterior finish on Tampa Bay homes, and cracking is nearly inevitable over time. The main causes are thermal expansion and contraction as temperatures swing from cool winter mornings to hot summer afternoons; minor foundation settling that transfers movement into the stucco skin; and moisture cycling from Florida's heavy rainfall followed by rapid drying. Hairline cracks are cosmetic and can be sealed with elastomeric caulk. Larger cracks or cracks with displacement -- where one side is higher than the other -- may point to a structural movement issue worth investigating. We repair hairline and minor stucco cracks cleanly, matching the texture and color to blend with the surrounding surface. For larger structural cracks, we will recommend a specialist.
