What We Commonly Find in Lafayette
The largest group of Lafayette homes was built in the 1940s and 1950s. About three quarters of the city’s housing stock consists of detached single-family homes, so a typical residential call is a one-off exterior repair on an older house rather than work on a large shared building.
Preparing a Crack or Hole
We use a cold chisel and hammer when a crack needs to be widened. A wire brush removes loose material and dust from the repair area. Before closing the opening, we also check likely water paths at flashing, drip edges, gutters, plumbing penetrations, grading, and stucco terminations.
Building Out a Deeper Patch
A hole or crack deeper than 1/4 inch cannot be filled in one heavy application. We apply premixed patch in layers no thicker than 1/4 inch and allow 24 hours between layers. Lafayette’s average temperatures run from a January low of 41.2°F to a July high of 88°F, a seasonal range of about 47°F, so the work date and required waiting periods need to be included in the schedule.
Stucco Removal Pricing
When damaged stucco must be removed, the typical price is $1 to $4 per square foot. The total depends on the measured area taken out, so a useful estimate should state how many square feet are included rather than giving only a lump sum.

We Do the Work
We complete the repair, verify it solved the problem, and stand behind the work.
Some of what that looks like in the field:
- Break away deteriorated stucco and remove loose particles with a wire brush before applying repair material.
- For cracks under 1/2 inch wide, cut the stucco-repair cartridge nozzle at an angle and force a bead deep into the crack with a caulk gun.
