Stucco Siding Repair in New Orleans
Traditional and synthetic stucco, inspected properly before anything is patched — because what you can see is rarely the whole story.
Stucco, and What Repair Actually Involves
Stucco comes in two forms. Traditional stucco is a mixture of Portland cement, lime, sand and water. Synthetic stucco is a mixture of acrylic and polymer. They look similar and behave quite differently, which is why identifying what you have is the first step in any repair.
Stucco repair means inspecting the damage and replacing the damaged material. The inspection matters more than people expect — cracking on the surface can be cosmetic, or it can be the visible end of a moisture problem in the wall behind.
We work on both residential and commercial stucco across the New Orleans area.
What’s Included
Every stucco siding job we quote covers the whole wall assembly, not just the surface you can see.
Inspection first
We assess what is actually wrong before quoting a repair.
Identifying the system
Traditional or synthetic — the two are repaired differently.
Removing damaged material
Failed stucco is cut out back to sound substrate.
Substrate assessment
What is behind the stucco is checked before anything is rebuilt.
Rebuilding and finishing
New material applied and finished to match the surrounding surface.
Colour and texture matching
Finish matched to the existing wall as closely as the system allows.
Signs It May Be Time to Call
These are the reasons homeowners most often get in touch about stucco siding.
Cracking in the stucco surface , particularly around openings.
Staining or discolouration that runs down from a crack or a joint.
Bulging or soft areas where the stucco has separated from the substrate.
Chips, holes or impact damage from storms or debris.
Damp patches on interior walls that back onto stucco elevations.
Previous patch repairs that are failing or no longer match.
A note on all of the above: these are common reasons to have an exterior looked at, not a diagnosis. Whether the right answer is a repair, a partial replacement or a full replacement depends on what an on-site inspection finds behind the surface. We will tell you which one your home needs, including when the answer is that it can wait.

What Stucco Siding Costs
There is no honest flat price for siding. What a project costs depends on the material you choose, the size and shape of the walls, and what we find once the old siding comes off. Here is the published range, and the things that move a quote within it.
Our page for this service does not publish a service-life figure, and we would rather say so than quote one we cannot support. Expected life depends on the product, the installation and the exposure of each elevation.

The questions we are asked most often about stucco siding in New Orleans.
What is stucco siding made of?
Traditional stucco is a mixture of Portland cement, lime, sand and water. Synthetic stucco is a mixture of acrylic and polymer. Which one you have changes how it should be repaired.
What does stucco repair involve?
It means inspecting the damage and replacing the damaged material. How far that goes depends entirely on what the inspection finds behind the surface.
How much does stucco repair cost in New Orleans?
Our published range is $5.58 to $7.75 per square foot. Cost is affected by materials, labor, supplies and equipment. Because so much depends on what is found once damaged material is removed, we quote in writing and flag anything that could change the scope.
Is cracked stucco always a serious problem?
Not always. Some cracking is cosmetic and some is the visible sign of moisture getting into the wall. The difference is not reliably judged from a photograph — it needs an inspection.
Can you match my existing stucco finish?
We match colour and texture as closely as the system allows. Perfectly invisible repairs are difficult on a weathered wall, and any contractor who guarantees one is overselling.
Do you do commercial stucco work?
Yes. We handle both residential and commercial stucco applications across the New Orleans area.
