"Amazing that they completed job in one day! (wall in front of garage was completely redone (R&R) and patching around garage door and under one window). They matched the existing sand finish. The "feathering" in of the new stucco to the old looks good. From a scheduling standpoint I would recommend they provide more of an advance notice for scheduling (i.e. 2 days vs. 1day) and positively let the customer know they are on the schedule."

"Brilliantly! Nir, my contractor, helped to realize my vision of a beautiful Mexican styled bathroom! With Talavera and Saltillo tiles, an elegant soak tub, charming hand painted sink.... it is a relaxing, therapeutic refuge! Moises, and Christian, were terrific on the job! And very tidy! Moises made all of the plumbing installation look easy, though with my old house I know there were a few glitches. And Moises is an artist when it comes to setting the hand-made tiles! The small powder room and laundry room got clean, bright makeovers as well! I could not be happier! The rooms, and especially the main bathroom, are more beautiful than I dreamed!"

"Crew was very professional and showed up on time. They were efficient and worked hard. Unfortunately, the end result was as follows: Pressure washing - They didn't cover anything. Paint chips were everywhere and even in my air conditioning unit. I'm still sweeping and shop vacuuming huge piles of them two weeks later. They returned to clean-up, but I'm still finding myself cleaning. They kept saying my lawn mower should pick it up. Photos attached. Patio Cover - They sprayed two coats of paint, but entire sections were missed. Some sections were very very lightly coated. They had to come back out for two hours to re-roll. I appreciated that they came back out but VERY disappointed that I had to go up on roof, inspect myself to get them to come out to resolve. What if I hadn't? Overspray got all over our trash cans, bushes, bbq cover, outdoor storage shed and roof. Photos attached. The shingles on the roof can't be cleaned -- power washing will remove granules and damage them, so we're stuck living with that. Stucco - Spots had to be re-repaired after I noticed that areas were missed. I had to paint the stucco myself since they were quick and missed painting sections. Front door - Front door looked good and they were flexible as we decided colors. OTHER - I asked for Dunn Edwards. They used high quality paint on front door (Evershield) use my own supplied paint for stucco and then used Spartashield for the patio cover. Normally the painters I use ask me what type of paint. I would have preferred Everyshield for the patio cover, but Spartashield is still decent. Overall, they were nice and punctual (things many contractors lack), but the quality of the work was average / below average because of the issues I described. All these painting companies sub everything out. They may have a general group of subs they use that are preferred, but in the end, it's really luck of the draw with who you get. They're all hurrying to move from one job to the next as fast as they can, so quality sometimes suffers as a result."

Stucco questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs for specific repairs vary:

  • Cracks: $8–$20 per square foot

  • Holes: $250–$450 per hole

  • Water damage: $30–$50 per square foot

  • Chimney repair: $60–$120 per square foot

  • Recoating: $4–$5 per square foot

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.

Yes, you can apply the stucco yourself, but it is a time- and labor-intensive project, especially on the exterior of a whole house. DIY stucco is better suited for repairing stucco siding or siding a smaller building, such as a shed or garage. Since most of the cost of stucco siding goes to labor, you can cut down significantly on the total if you’re up for the challenge.

The curing time for stucco typically takes several weeks to fully complete. During the curing process, the stucco undergoes a chemical reaction and gradually hardens. It's important to note that curing is different from drying. While the surface of the stucco may dry relatively quickly within a few hours or days, the curing process continues beneath the surface, strengthening and solidifying the stucco. 

It's best to avoid excessive moisture exposure during the curing period, as it can impede the curing process. The exact curing time can vary based on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific stucco mixture used.

Hiring a professional for stucco repair ensures accurate diagnosis and application of appropriate techniques to prevent further damage. They deliver seamless results that maintain aesthetic appeal and prolong the exterior’s life.

When hiring for your project, look for licensed, insured contractors with experience in stucco removal. Ask them for references, review their past stucco removal projects, and request detailed, written estimates. A reputable stucco removal contractor will explain the entire process, outline all costs, and ensure proper disposal and compliance with local codes.
