Make sure the bits you use are coated with carbide or diamond; this information is usually visible on the package. You can also use hole saw bits to drill into stucco.</p></div>

Q: How much does stucco repair cost?

• <div><p>The average cost to repair stucco is about $1,600, with projects ranging from $250 for minor fixes to $6,700 for extensive work. The price is often calculated per square foot, typically costing between $60 and $120. Some professionals may charge an hourly rate of $40 to $50. The final cost depends on the extent of the damage, the type of stucco, your home's location, and whether there is underlying damage that also needs to be addressed.</p><p>Costs for specific repairs vary:</p><ul><li><p>Cracks: $8&ndash;$20 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Holes: $250&ndash;$450 per hole</p></li><li><p>Water damage: $30&ndash;$50 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Chimney repair: $60&ndash;$120 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Recoating: $4&ndash;$5 per square foot</p></li></ul><p>While you may be able to patch small cracks yourself, it is recommended to call a professional for major repairs to ensure the job is done correctly.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between stucco repair and stucco remediation?

• <div><p>Stucco repair can best be described as a patch. It involves identifying the problem and fixing that specific damage with additional stucco. If no mold infiltration or an underlying leak is causing the damage, repair is most likely all you need. </p><p>Remediation, on the other hand, involves removing the existing siding, fixing the underlying cause of the damage, and then reapplying stucco siding for that wall. It&rsquo;s a more permanent fix that takes longer to complete and, hence, comes with a steeper price tag than repair.</p></div>

Q: What PSI should you use to clean stucco siding?

• <div><p>When cleaning stucco siding, it is recommended to use a pressure washer with a psi (pounds per square inch) between 1,500 and 2,000. This range provides sufficient power to remove dirt and grime without causing damage to the stucco surface. It's important to avoid using excessive psi as it can chip or crack the stucco. </p><p>Using a wider spray nozzle and keeping a safe distance of about seven to 10 feet from the siding helps ensure a gentle and effective cleaning process. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and adjust the psi accordingly based on the condition of your stucco and the specific requirements of your pressure washer.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain stucco?

• <div><p>To maintain stucco, inspect it annually for cracks and clean the surface with a mild detergent. Seal any cracks promptly to prevent water infiltration, and reseal or repaint as needed to preserve its appearance.</p></div>
