Stucco Repair & Painting on St. Simons Island
Stucco repair on St. Simons Island for existing homes, from hairline cracks and failed patches to a full repaint. One D&D crew handles the repair, preparation and finish, with free written estimates.
Stucco Repair for St. Simons Island Homes
D&D Decorators repairs and repaints existing stucco for homeowners across St. Simons Island, from Sea Palms and Island Club to Hampton Point and Hawkins Island. Our crews work out of our Brunswick office at 1001 Cedar Street, just across the causeway.
This page covers stucco work on the island. For stucco in Brunswick and the rest of Glynn County, see our main stucco repair and painting page, and for everything else we paint on the island, see our painting services on St. Simons Island.
Stucco Crack Repair Before Repainting
Stucco that looks ready for paint often isn’t. Hairline cracks, old patches that never matched and spots where the coating has failed all show through a new finish if they are painted over. We find those areas during the walkthrough, write the repairs into the estimate and complete them before primer goes on.
Once repairs are done, the same crew primes and repaints the stucco along with the trim, shutters, doors, soffit and fascia, so the whole exterior is finished on one schedule. If the wall only needs a repaint, see our exterior painting on St. Simons Island page.
Stucco Painting on St. Simons Island
Whether the job is a few cracks around a window or a full repaint of a stucco home, we start by looking at the condition of the wall, then define the repair and preparation it needs before pricing the finish.

Not every crack needs the same repair. The right method depends on what caused it, how it was handled before and how the finished wall needs to look. Our estimator reviews each area on site before the scope is written, and cracks that point to a structural or moisture problem are referred to the right specialist before we repair and paint.
Common Stucco Repairs Before Repainting
Each of these needs a different repair before the finish coat. The goal is a wall that looks finished, not patched.
Hairline Cracks
Fine cracks are the most common reason homeowners search for stucco repair near me. We open, fill and blend them so they don’t show through the new paint.
Patches That Don't Match
Earlier repairs often stand out because the texture or coating doesn’t match the wall around them. We rework the surface so the repaired area blends in.
Repainting Painted Stucco
Stucco that has been painted before is checked for how well the old coating is holding. Loose or failing areas are corrected before the new finish goes on.
Damage Around Trim and Openings
Cracks and damage often start where stucco meets windows, doors and trim. When the wood around an opening is rotted, we repair it along with the stucco so both are sound before painting.
Why St. Simons Homeowners Choose D&D for Stucco
D&D Decorators is a locally owned painting and stucco contractor that has served St. Simons Island from Brunswick since 1986. With 50+ employees, we have the crews to handle a single repair area or a full stucco repaint, and we are fully licensed and insured.
Repair and painting stay with one company. The same team that defines the scope repairs the stucco, prepares the surface, applies the finish and walks the project with you at the end, so you have one point of contact from estimate to final review.
Many island homes are second homes or rentals, and we can schedule work around rental bookings and keep owners updated while they are away. See our second home maintenance services.
Our Stucco Repair & Painting Process
Every stucco project follows the same steps, from the first walkthrough to the final review.
1. Walkthrough
An estimator walks the house with you, marks the cracks, patches and failed areas, and notes any trim or wood that needs attention.
2. Written Scope
You get a written estimate listing the repairs, the preparation and the surfaces being painted, so you can see exactly what is included before work starts.
3. Protection & Washing
Landscaping, walkways, windows and roofing next to the work area are protected, and the stucco is washed so repairs and primer bond to a clean surface.
4. Repair & Patching
Cracks and damaged areas are repaired and patched, and the texture is blended into the surrounding wall.
5. Prime & Paint
Repaired areas are primed, then the stucco and any included trim, shutters and doors are painted.
6. Final Walkthrough
We clean up, walk the finished exterior with you and take care of anything that needs attention before the project is closed out.
The standard is a stucco wall that looks finished, not repeatedly patched.

Stucco Repair Questions From St. Simons Homeowners
Do you do stucco repair on St. Simons Island?
Yes. D&D Decorators repairs and repaints existing residential stucco across St. Simons Island and Sea Island from our office in Brunswick. Estimates are free and written.
Should you paint stucco, or just repair it?
It depends on the wall. Repaired areas usually look different from the rest of the surface until it is repainted, so most stucco repairs are followed by painting at least the affected wall. Our estimator will tell you what your wall needs after seeing it.
Can you repair hairline cracks in stucco before painting?
Yes. Hairline and settling cracks are part of our normal repair scope. Larger cracks, or damage that points to a structural or moisture problem, should be evaluated by the right specialist first, and we will tell you if we see that.
Will the repair match the rest of the wall?
We blend the texture of each repair into the surrounding stucco, then prime and paint, which is what makes repairs disappear. An exact texture match is not always possible on very old or heavily patched walls, and we will tell you that during the estimate.
Can you repaint stucco that has already been painted?
Yes. We check how well the existing coating is holding, repair and prepare the surface, then apply the new finish.
Do you paint the trim, shutters and doors at the same time?
Yes. Most stucco projects include the trim, shutters, doors, soffit and fascia so the whole exterior is finished on one schedule. See our exterior painting on St. Simons Island page for more.
