Stucco repair costs in Port St. Lucie

In 2004, two hurricanes came ashore at the same spot here, three weeks apart. Frances made landfall at the southern end of Hutchinson Island on September 5 as a Category 2. On September 26, Jeanne's eye crossed the coast at the southern end of Hutchinson Island again, just east of Stuart, with winds estimated at 105 knots. Fort Pierce Inlet reported a 111-knot gust, the highest reported in Florida during Jeanne.

Twenty years later, Milton brought a different kind of wind. On October 9, 2024, it set off a tornado outbreak across the peninsula, and the most significant tornado was an EF-3 that killed six people near Fort Pierce and Vero Beach.

That history means a house in the Port St. Lucie area that's been here since the early 2000s may carry more than one round of storm repair. Patches from different years, done by different crews, can sit side by side on the same wall.

If you're buying an older house in St. Lucie or Martin County, ask the seller what was repaired after the 2004 storms and after 2024, and who did the work. Then check the county or city permit records for those years. A wall with a clear repair history is a much easier ballpark than one with gaps.
