Typical ranges, not quotes.
What moves the price
- Water. Damage with water behind the wall costs more than a surface crack.
- Height and access. Damage high on the wall needs ladders or scaffolding.
- Wall base. Wood-frame walls usually need a scratch coat, which adds cost over masonry.
- Extent. Widespread problems cost more than small, isolated repairs.
- Labor rates. Hourly labor in the source runs $40 to $50, and some contractors price by square foot.
Ask for inspection, water repair, patching and paint as separate lines. Then two quotes can be compared fairly.
Cost questions
Why is water damage so much more than a crack?
Because the damaged stucco comes off, the wall behind it dries, and the layers are rebuilt. A crack repair only touches the surface.
Is the inspection price included in a quote?
Sometimes. Ask whether it is a separate line.
