Ballpark, not gospel. This estimates stucco materials and labor from the numbers you punch in — damage depth is what moves real stucco jobs, so verify against your inspection before quoting.

Questions stucco contractors actually ask

Straight answers, no fluff. Then run your own numbers above.

How do you estimate a stucco repair job?

Measure the wall area, estimate what percentage actually needs repair (not the whole wall), count the coats the system needs, and apply material cost per square foot for the finish type plus your hourly rate. The calculator above runs exactly that math and ranges the total.

How much stucco material do I need per square foot?

Roughly $1.80–$2.60 per square foot per coat in cement, wire lath, and primer, depending on the finish — smooth is cheapest, lace and dash run higher. Multiply by coats: a two-coat patch on 80 sq ft is about $290–$420 in materials.

What do stucco contractors charge per hour?

Most stucco pros charge $40–$60 per hour, and a typical repair takes 5–12 hours of hands-on work — before curing time between coats, which is why even a modest patch often spans two or three calendar days.

How many coats does stucco need?

Traditional three-coat stucco (scratch, brown, finish) is the full system; repairs often use two coats where the base layers are sound. One coat is a patch, not a system — it fails early.
