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.
