Cracks in Your Stucco? You May Have a Construction Defect Claim
Even new construction homes built in Florida’s most prestigious communities are not immune to stucco defects and water intrusion issues. Many builders across the state used stucco as a primary exterior material. When properly installed, stucco creates a moisture-resistant seal. But poor workmanship—such as thin application or improper curing—can lead to cracks that allow water to seep into your walls.
If you’ve noticed stucco cracking, bubbling, or staining on your Florida home, you may have a claim for a construction defect under Florida law. The sooner you act, the more options you have for repair and compensation.
Why Stucco Cracks Are a Serious Problem in Florida
Small cracks might seem cosmetic, but in Florida’s humid climate, they often signal deeper structural issues. Once water enters behind stucco, it can cause significant issues such as mold or mildew growth, insulation and drywall damage and wood rot in framing that can lead to long-term structural issues.
Many Florida homes are wood-framed, making them especially vulnerable to moisture intrusion. Damage can accumulate over time before becoming visible, costing homeowners tens of thousands in repairs.
How Kagan Law PLLC Helps Homeowners
At Kagan Law PLLC, we represent homeowners across Florida in construction defect cases, with a focus on stucco-related claims and water intrusion litigation. Hiring a lawyer doesn’t mean you’ll automatically have to file a lawsuit. In many cases, we can ressure the builder or contractor to fix the damage, negotiate with your insurance company for coverage and preserve your rights under the Florida Building Code and warranty laws. Should the builder fail to adequately adress the damage Kagan Law PLLC will pursue compensation to get the recovery you deserve for the defective construction of your home.
We understand how stressful construction problems can be. Our mission is to resolve your stucco defect efficiently and effectively, with as little disruption as possible.
Florida Law Limits the Time to File a Stucco Defect Claim
Under Florida’s Statute of Limitations and Statute of Repose, you may only have up to 7 years from the date of occupancy to file a stucco defect or water intrusion claim. In some cases, that window can be shorter—especially if you’ve already noticed damage.
Delays can cost you your rights. Its critical to act quickly and document everything, including cracks, stains, communications with the builder, and inspection reports.
