What We Waterproof

Stucco

Stucco looks solid, but it's porous, and hairline cracks let wind-driven rain reach the wall behind it. We repair cracks and damaged areas, then apply an elastomeric or waterproof coating system that flexes with the wall instead of cracking again.

Windows and Doors

The perimeter around a window or door is one of the most common leak points on a Florida home. Sealants break down in the sun and flashing gets missed or damaged. We reseal and reflash openings so water sheds away from the wall instead of into it.

Balconies, Decks, and Lanais

Elevated surfaces take direct rain and hold standing water. We apply deck coating and membrane systems that protect the structure underneath and keep water from reaching the rooms or framing below.

Roof-to-Wall Transitions and Flat Roof Areas

Where a roof meets a wall, a parapet, or a chimney, water finds the gap. Because we're a roofing and exteriors contractor, we can fix both sides of that joint, instead of a roofer blaming the wall and a stucco crew blaming the roof.

Inspect

We inspect the exterior and the affected interior areas to find where water is actually entering. The stain inside is often not directly behind the entry point.

Repair the source

We fix the damaged stucco, flashing, sealant, or surface causing the leak, not just the visible symptom.

Seal and protect

We apply the right waterproofing system for that area: coatings for stucco, sealant and flashing for openings, membranes for decks and balconies.

Why Tampa Homes Are Vulnerable

Tampa gets roughly 50 inches of rain a year, most of it between June and September, and much of it arrives in short, intense storms with strong wind. Wind-driven rain doesn't fall straight down. It gets pushed sideways into stucco cracks, window gaps, and sealant joints that stay dry in a normal shower. Add year-round UV exposure breaking down sealants and coatings, plus hurricane season from June through November, and small openings become leaks quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our services? Find answers to some of the most common questions below.

Common signs include water stains on interior walls or ceilings near windows or exterior walls, bubbling or peeling paint, hairline or spiderweb cracks in stucco, soft or swollen drywall or baseboards, a musty smell after storms, and leaks that only show up during wind-driven rain.

We inspect the exterior (stucco, window and door perimeters, balconies, and roof-to-wall transitions) along with the affected areas inside. We then explain where water is entering, what needs to be repaired, and which waterproofing system fits that area. After we finish, we’ll provide you with a quote on the work, outlining everything that needs to be done.

The cost depends on the source of the leak, the size of the affected area, and how much damage needs repair before sealing. Resealing a few windows costs far less than recoating an entire stucco home or a large balcony. After the inspection, you’ll get a written estimate. Certain companies even offer financing options to complete waterproofing.

Small jobs like resealing and reflashing a few openings can often be done in a day or more. Whole-house stucco coatings or deck membrane systems take longer, because cracks need repairing and coatings need dry weather to cure. Your estimate will include a projected timeline.

It depends on the system and how much sun the surface gets. Quality elastomeric stucco coatings commonly last around a decade or more. Window and door sealants usually need attention sooner because Florida’s UV exposure breaks them down. Deck and balcony membranes vary with foot traffic and sun exposure. Periodic inspections, especially before hurricane season, help catch small breakdowns before they turn into leaks.

No. An elastomeric coating is much thicker than standard paint and stretches as the wall expands and contracts, so it bridges hairline cracks instead of letting them reopen. It comes in a range of colors and can match your current look or give your home a refreshed color.

Insurance generally covers sudden damage, like a storm that tears off flashing, rather than wear such as aging sealant or gradual stucco cracking. Coverage varies by policy. If your leak followed a specific storm event, we can document the damage to provide to your insurance company and help with any touch-ups or repairs if they approve your claim.
