Stucco repairs are priced by the square foot of damaged wall and by the kind of damage. HomeAdvisor's stucco repair guide (updated June 2026) puts the average repair at $1,630, with most projects between $599 and $2,661. Its rates: hairline cracks and holes under 2 inches $8–$20 per sq ft, holes $250–$450 each, water damage $30–$50 per sq ft (the crew cuts out wet stucco, fixes the sheathing and the leak behind it and rebuilds every coat), recoating sound stucco $4–$5 per sq ft, discoloration $1–$5, removal $1–$3 and painting stucco $1–$5 per sq ft. The Stucco Repair Cost Calculator multiplies your area by the rate for the damage, adds the holes and, if you want it, paint to hide the patch. 40 sq ft of cracks and one hole come to $570–$1,250; 50 sq ft of water damage to $1,500–$2,500.

HomeAdvisor (updated June 2026) puts the average stucco repair at $1,630, with most projects between $599 and $2,661. Price it by the damage: cracks $8–$20 per sq ft, holes $250–$450 each, water damage $30–$50 per sq ft and a recoat of sound stucco $4–$5 per sq ft.
$8–$20 per square foot for hairline cracks and holes under 2 inches, or about $30 to caulk a few minor cracks. 40 sq ft of cracked wall comes to $320–$800. Wide or stepped cracks can mean settling — have the structure checked before you patch.
$30–$50 per square foot on HomeAdvisor's figures, because the crew cuts out the wet stucco, fixes the moisture source and the sheathing behind it, then rebuilds the coats. 50 sq ft of water damage is $1,500–$2,500 before any framing repairs.
Repair while the damage is local. If cracking and soft spots run across most of the wall, or water has got behind large areas, re-cladding starts to make more sense — HomeAdvisor prices stucco removal at $1–$3 per sq ft before the new finish goes on.
Patches rarely match the old color, so most repairs are finished with a color coat or paint. HomeAdvisor puts painting stucco at $1–$5 per sq ft; painting just the repaired wall usually hides the patch better than painting the patch alone.
