Stucco Repair Southwest in Lafayette

We check for water entry first

Before closing a repair, we inspect flashing, drip edges, gutters, plumbing penetrations, grading, and stucco terminations. Any water-entry problem needs to be identified before the damaged stucco is patched.

Some Lafayette mid-century and Contemporary/Ranch homes combine raised foundations, composition-shingle roofs, wood siding, and stucco walls. On those homes, we pay close attention to siding-to-stucco transitions, roof-wall drainage details, and crawlspace moisture. Lafayette also has a large day-to-night temperature range, so joints between different exterior materials deserve a careful look.

Deep repairs take more than one layer

When a hole or crack is deeper than 1/4 inch, we apply premixed patch in layers no thicker than 1/4 inch. Each layer sits for 24 hours before the next one is applied.

For stucco repair caulk, we use a standard caulk gun and cut the cartridge nozzle with a utility knife to prepare the bead.

Matching the existing finish

The repair has to fit the wall around it. We account for the existing stucco texture and include repainting where needed. Mixed stucco-and-wood exteriors require particular care at transitions so the finished area matches without interfering with roof-wall drainage details.

Basic stucco repair pricing

Basic repairs for hairline cracks, holes, chips, and repainting typically cost $8 to $30 per square foot. We identify the repair area and included work before pricing the job.
