From weathered historic homes in Old Delray Beach to coastal condos along the A1A corridor, we seal and waterproof exteriors against South Florida's moisture, salt air, and storm season.
Delray Beach's older homes — particularly those in the historic district and the neighborhoods west of Federal Highway — have stucco and masonry surfaces that have weathered decades of South Florida's climate. Hairline cracks from settling, failed perimeter caulking, and thinning paint films are all open invitations for moisture. For coastal properties, salt air accelerates this deterioration.
Jacobs & Gallucci has been waterproofing and painting exterior surfaces in Delray Beach for over 25 years. We understand the specific challenges of older construction — the types of stucco used, the common failure points, and the right products for each situation. We don't apply a one-size-fits-all solution.
Whether you're protecting a historic bungalow, a mid-century property, or a newer coastal condo, we start with a thorough exterior assessment and recommend the right waterproofing approach for your specific property.
We assess stucco condition, cracks, failed caulking, window perimeters, and signs of moisture intrusion specific to older Delray Beach construction.
All cracks are cleaned and filled with elastomeric caulk or patching compound appropriate for the substrate.
Power washing, mildew treatment, and full drying. Older surfaces are primed to ensure maximum coating adhesion.
All window frames, door perimeters, utility penetrations, and vulnerable transitions are caulked and sealed.
Premium elastomeric coating applied in two coats — extra attention paid to known problem areas on older construction.
Full exterior walkthrough to confirm complete coverage and proper sealing at every penetration point.
We understand how Florida's climate attacks exterior surfaces. Every product and technique we use is chosen for this specific environment.
We don't just coat over problems. We identify every crack, failed caulk line, and moisture entry point before applying a single coat.
We use coatings specifically formulated for Florida — high UV resistance, flexibility to bridge cracks, and long-term moisture protection.

The exterior of our Delray home had cracks we had been ignoring for years. They sealed everything properly, applied the elastomeric coating, and painted. No water intrusion since and the house looks brand new.

Get a Free EstimateOlder homes in Delray Beach have stucco that has been through decades of South Florida weather. The original paint film thins, cracks develop from settling and thermal movement, and caulking around windows and doors fails over time. Salt air from proximity to the coast further accelerates surface deterioration. Elastomeric waterproofing restores a proper moisture barrier and extends the life of the exterior.
Yes. Pre-sale waterproofing and exterior recoating is common in Delray Beach. A fresh elastomeric coat addresses moisture vulnerabilities, improves curb appeal, and can be a meaningful selling point — especially for coastal properties where buyers are conscious of moisture issues.
Yes. Coastal properties face elevated exposure to salt air and moisture. We use products specifically rated for coastal environments and pay particular attention to perimeter sealing and any areas where previous coatings have failed due to salt air exposure.
We use premium elastomeric coatings from trusted manufacturers — products rated for Florida's UV exposure, humidity, and coastal conditions. The specific product depends on the substrate condition and age. We explain our recommendations before starting any work.
Yes. Most of our exterior projects in Delray Beach include waterproof crack sealing and primer as part of the preparation, with the finish coat applied on top. This gives you full protection and a fresh appearance in a single project.
