STUCCO REPAIR CALGARY

These are rough estimates only, not a quote. Every stucco job is priced after we see the wall, because access, how many spots there are, what is behind the stucco and how hard the finish is to match all move the number. As a very rough guide only: spot repairs (crack sealing, minor patching, one or two woodpecker holes) tend to land somewhere around $300 to $1,500. Section repairs (a window or door perimeter, a leak repair with re-flashing, a wall section re-coat) around $800 to $5,000. Wall-wide re-coats and full re-stuccos around $5,000 to $20,000 and up, depending on size, system (traditional or EIFS) and finish. All figures before GST, and a real job can land outside these ranges in either direction. The only number to plan around is the free on-site visit and written quote.

Tap the wall with your knuckle. Traditional cement stucco sounds solid, like tapping a sidewalk. EIFS sounds hollow because there's foam insulation behind the acrylic skin. Calgary homes built before 1985 are usually traditional; most after 1990 are EIFS. If you're unsure, we identify the system at no charge during the on-site quote.

Yes, colour and texture matching is part of every spot repair we do. We sample on-site, blend custom batches, and test in a small area before completing the full repair. On older sun-faded stucco, a perfect match isn't always possible. When that's the case we'll tell you upfront and recommend either a wider re-coat for uniformity or accept that the patch will be slightly visible.

May through September is the prime window. Stucco needs 48+ hours above 5°C to cure properly. We can extend the season into April and October with thermal blankets and curing accelerators. Emergency water-intrusion patches can be done year-round using cold-weather rated products.

Graphex is a two-part hardened coating (Coat A + Coat B) applied over EIFS stucco. Once cured, the surface is dense enough that woodpeckers physically cannot peck through it. We use it for spot repairs after damage and for full-house preventative coats on homes with recurring woodpecker problems.

Some are cosmetic, but every crack lets water in. In Calgary's freeze-thaw cycle, that water expands and widens the crack each winter. Left untreated, a hairline crack becomes structural within a few seasons. Sealing cracks early is the cheapest preventative maintenance you'll do on the home.

Small crack repairs: 1–2 days. Mid-size patches and woodpecker repairs: 2–5 days. Full exterior re-stucco: typically 1–3 weeks depending on house size, weather, and cure time between coats. We give you a realistic timeline in the quote.

Yes. We work with all major Canadian insurance carriers, provide detailed damage assessments with photo documentation, and scope-of-work quotes adjusters recognize. Once your claim is approved, we can invoice the insurer directly.

Our 5-year workmanship warranty is in writing on every quote and invoice. It covers cracking, delamination, and finish failure attributable to our installation. We're a registered Alberta business, fully insured, and WCB registered. We've been working in Calgary for over two decades.

Three reasons we see constantly: (1) the underlying cause was never fixed; (2) wrong materials were used; (3) cured in wrong conditions. We address all three on every job, which is why our work holds.

Emergency water-intrusion patches: yes, year-round, with cold-weather products. Full repairs and cosmetic work: not reliably below 5°C. If you have a winter leak, we'll patch it now and return in spring to do the proper repair.

Yes. We work on residential, multi-family, commercial, and light industrial buildings. For property managers, strata corporations, and general contractors, we offer volume pricing. Contact us at (403) 700-8415 for commercial work. Full details on our commercial services page.

Yes. Small patches and touch-ups are most of what we do: one crack, one impact mark, a corner that broke off, a hole left by a removed fixture. We rebuild the layers under the finish, then match the colour and texture so the patch is hard to find. See stucco crack repair and patching.

A repair fixes a spot. Remediation fixes a wall that has been wet for years: the stucco comes off, rotted sheathing is replaced, the membrane and flashing are rebuilt, and the wall is re-stuccoed. You need it when the wall is soft or bulging, staining keeps coming back, or a patch has failed more than once. Details under water damage repair and remediation.

Yes. If a section has come away, a wall is actively leaking, or storm damage has opened the stucco, call and we will make it weather-tight first, usually within a day or two in season, then quote the permanent repair.

Both. We install acrylic (EIFS) and traditional cement stucco on infills, laneway suites, garages and new builds, and we re-stucco existing homes where the old finish is past repair. See stucco installation and re-stucco.

A re-coat puts a new acrylic finish over a sound base coat, so the wall looks new without stripping anything. A re-stucco strips the old system and installs a new one. If the base is solid and the problem is fading, staining or surface cracking, a re-coat is the cheaper answer. If the base is delaminating, soft, or cracked through, it is a re-stucco.
