Re-Stucco & Stucco Replacement

When patching is no longer the answer, a full re-stucco gives your property a completely fresh start — done right, it lasts for decades.

There is a point in every stucco surface's life when repair work stops making sense. Widespread cracking across large sections, stucco that sounds hollow when tapped, surfaces that have been patched and re-patched until the finish looks more like a patchwork than a wall — these are signs that the existing system has run its course. A full re-stucco is not just a cosmetic reset. It is an opportunity to address everything underneath that has been accumulating over the years — moisture damage, compromised lath, areas where the original application was never done correctly — and come out the other side with an exterior that performs the way it is supposed to. In South Florida's climate, a properly done re-stucco on a property that needed it makes a significant difference in long-term maintenance costs.

At Competence Plastering & Stucco, a re-stucco project starts with removal — not just application over what is already there. We take off the existing stucco, inspect the substrate and lath for moisture damage or structural issues, address anything that needs attention, and then build the new system correctly from the base up. Renet Dieujuste has been doing this work for 35 years across Delray Beach, North Miami Beach, Pompano Beach, and throughout Broward County. A re-stucco done by someone with that depth of experience looks different — and performs differently — than one done by a crew that is just applying material and moving on.

The result is a property with a fresh, solid exterior that you are not going to be repairing again in two or three years. It is a bigger investment than a repair job, and it should be — because when it is done correctly, you get an exterior system that is built to last. If your property has reached that point, call (833) 972-2895 for an honest assessment and a free estimate on what a full re-stucco would involve.

What We Offer:

Full Stucco Removal – Complete removal of existing stucco down to the substrate, including cleanup and disposal of all material before the new system goes on.
Substrate & Lath Inspection – Thorough inspection of what is underneath after removal — checking for moisture damage, compromised lath, and any structural issues that need to be addressed before re-application.
New Lath Installation – Full replacement of lath where the existing system has failed or deteriorated, giving the new stucco system a proper foundation to bond to.
Complete Three-Coat Re-Stucco – Scratch coat, brown coat, and finish coat applied correctly in sequence on the new lath base — a full stucco system built from the ground up.
Texture & Finish Selection – Choice of finish texture and pattern for the new exterior — matching the original look or selecting a new finish style for the property.
Waterproofing Application – Waterproofing treatment applied as a final step on the new stucco surface, protecting the finished exterior from day one.
Residential & Commercial Re-Stucco – Full re-stucco projects handled at any scale — from single-family homes to large commercial buildings across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County.

Why Choose Competence Plastering & Stucco for Re-Stucco & Stucco Replacement

Removal First, Always – We do not apply new stucco over old stucco that has failed. A re-stucco done correctly starts with removing the existing system so the substrate can be properly inspected and the new system has a clean base to bond to. Skipping this step is how re-stucco jobs fail early.
35 Years of Full-System Experience – A re-stucco project involves every phase of stucco work — removal, inspection, lath, scratch coat, brown coat, finish coat, and waterproofing. Renet has been executing every one of those phases for 35 years. That experience is what makes the difference between a re-stucco that lasts and one that needs attention again too soon.
Honest Assessment Before Any Commitment – Before any re-stucco is quoted, we assess the existing surface and tell you honestly whether a full replacement is actually what the property needs — or whether a targeted repair approach would be more appropriate. You get a straight answer, not a pitch for the bigger job.
Underlying Issues Addressed – Removing the old stucco often reveals moisture damage, failed lath, or other issues that were hidden underneath. We identify and address those problems as part of the re-stucco process — not as surprise add-ons after the work has started.
State Certified & Fully Insured – All re-stucco and stucco replacement work is completed by a state-certified, licensed, and fully insured contractor throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. Your property is protected from removal through final coat.
