Re: Symmetrical Stucco Cracks On Both Sides of House
Being as I don't see any of the required control joints on that wall (vertically or horizontally), it is no wonder it is cracking, at least it cracked in the small areas (which is also the likely place for it to crack).

As Jim said, thermal expansion and contraction, the stucco will crack, that is why control joints are required.
