What changes the price

Size and height

Price follows wall area, not floor area. Two story walls need scaffolding and more setup time, which adds roughly 10 to 15 percent.

How much is damaged

A few cracks are a repair. Cracks across most walls, loose sections or hollow spots mean a skim coat or mesh, and that is where restoration pricing starts.

Hidden water damage

Soft stucco, stains under windows or a musty smell often mean water got behind the wall. We open a small test area first so you only pay for what is really needed.

Texture match

Sand, smooth and lace finishes each take a different hand. Matching an older texture so the patch disappears takes more time than a fresh wall.

Color and paint

Painting over a repair hides the patch line. Elastomeric paint also bridges hairline cracks and stretches with the heat, so many owners add it to a repair.

HOA approval

Communities like Kayenta, Entrada, The Ledges and Sand Hollow require color approval. We prepare samples and paperwork, which adds a little time but rarely much cost.

Why stucco cracks in St. George

Southern Utah is hard on stucco. Summer walls can pass 150 degrees in direct sun and drop fast at night, so the surface expands and shrinks every day. Many neighborhoods sit on expansive clay that swells when it gets wet, which moves foundations and opens cracks at window and door corners. Newer homes also settle in their first few years.

Water does the rest. Sprinklers that hit the wall, monsoon rain and missing weep screed let moisture behind the stucco. Once water is inside, small cracks grow, the lath rusts and sections start to sound hollow when you tap them. Fixing cracks early is almost always cheaper than waiting.

Repair, restore or replace?

Repair

Less than about a quarter of a wall is damaged, the stucco is solid when you tap it and there is no sign of water inside. Patch, match and paint.

Restore

Cracks run across many walls but the base is still attached. A full skim coat, mesh where it is weak and two coats of elastomeric paint give the home a new finish and a longer life for about half the cost of replacement.

Replace

Large sections are loose, the lath is rusted or water has damaged the sheathing. Here we quote both options so you can see the difference in price and warranty.

Not sure which one you need? Most homes we visit fall in the middle, and a 30 minute walk around answers it. See our full stucco repair in St. George service.

How to avoid paying twice

  • Skip the hardware store caulk. It shrinks in the heat, it does not take texture and it leaves a shiny line that shows through paint.
  • Never paint over wet stucco. Paint traps moisture and the wall blisters within a season. Find and stop the water first.
  • Ask for the paint system in writing. The brand, the product and the number of coats should be on your contract.
  • Ask about the warranty. A real restoration should come with a written workmanship warranty, not a handshake.
  • Hire a licensed contractor. Check the Utah license number before you sign. You can see our work before you decide.

Stucco repair cost questions

How much does it cost to fix a stucco crack?

Most crack repairs in St. George cost $650 to $1,500, including texture and color touch up. Long structural cracks or cracks with water behind them cost more because the area has to be opened and rebuilt.

How much does it cost to paint a stucco house?

Expect about $3.50 to $5 per square foot of wall for a power wash, small crack sealing and two coats of elastomeric paint. A typical one story home in St. George has 1,600 to 2,400 square feet of stucco wall.

Is stucco repair covered by homeowners insurance?

Damage from a sudden event, like a storm or a vehicle, is often covered. Cracks from age, settling or slow leaks usually are not. We can document the damage with photos for your claim.

Can you match my existing stucco color?

Yes. We match the texture by hand and the color by sample. When an exact match is not possible on an older wall, painting the full elevation gives an even finish.

How long does stucco repair take?

Small repairs take one or two days. A full restoration of a home usually takes one to three weeks, depending on size, height and weather.

Do I need a permit for stucco repair in St. George?

Repairs and repainting usually do not need a permit. A full tear-off and re-stucco may, depending on the city. We check with St. George, Washington, Hurricane or Ivins before work starts.

Do you work in Ivins, Hurricane and Washington?

Yes. We work across Washington County, including St. George, Washington, Hurricane, Ivins, Santa Clara, Toquerville and Sand Hollow.
