Stucco Issues on 2012 Built Vantage Home

You shouldn't have to worry about water damage to your structure, they should of put down a membrane before the wire that protects the wood from moisture. I have patched my fair share of stucco in the past, cracks like what you have are normal. You will definitely want to seal them so water dosent get in them and freeze during winter and open them up more.

With how the weather is in CO and the freeze and thaw every year stucco is probly not the best choice. With that said I think stucco looks ten times better than siding and stucco dosen't rattle in the wind. Sounds like you will have a love hate relationship going on for the years to come.
