Finally saw why my stucco kept cracking, a drip edge fixed it
I spent two years patching the same hairline cracks above my windows in the North Valley. A mason doing the house next door pointed out I had no drip edge over the window header, so rain was running straight down the wall. He installed one for $140 and after the last monsoon season, zero new cracks. Anyone else found simple fixes like this that made such a huge difference?
