Stucco Repair Estimate Calculator

Let us provide you with a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate (i.e. guesstimate) for your stucco repairs. This estimate calculator will give you a good idea of the magnitude of repair costs. We have tried to improve the calculator and test it over various scenarios to make it somewhat accurate, but remember that no one (including us) commits to being bound by the estimates on this calculator.

See instructions below for more detailed use.

Stucco Repair Calculator Instructions

Section 1 - Full Core Repairs

Estimate very roughly the number of square feet of stucco damage in the home as evidenced by an invasive stucco inspection report. This can be done easily by imagining a set of 12" x 12" tiles overlaid over the damaged area and then counting the tiles. Or by taking or estimating a few measurements and doing a simple area calculation (length times width). Take an area measurement for each continuous section separately. Ballparking a number is OK because this is just a rough estimate.

Section 2 - Crack, Impact, Cosmetic Damage Estimate

Estimate the lineal feet of cracks on the stucco. A quick and dirty number can be had by counting the number of panels that have a single crack running through them and multiplying by 12. Again, no need to be exact, ballpark number is OK. This is a simple length measurement.
Also estimate the square footage (SF) of peeled, damaged, impacted stucco that requires surface level plastering repairs. This is an area measurement (i.e. length times width).
This is the hardest scope to estimate, so this is where the tool is least accurate.

Section 3 - Caulk / Sealant Estimate

To estimate the cost to redo the sealants or caulk on a property the best measure is to count the number of windows. In most scenarios the size of the windows will average out and the total will yield an acceptable number with this estimating tool. If you have a large window section of conjoined windows, maybe count that section as 2, 4, or 8 windows depending on how much stucco to window seams there are. Price given by the tool is more accurate with 15+ windows that are of regular size.

Section 4 Painting

There is a stucco paint charge that must be considered once repairs are finalized. The  paint is applied over whole panels. So even though the repair size may be 5 square feet, consider that a whole 100 SF panel may need to be repainted. Consider that specialty paints like the picture may be priced higher. Price given by tool is most accurate above 450 SF.
Additionally, you can put additional square footage if you would like your whole house to be repainted to match the new paint. The total square footage of walls is usually in the same vicinity as the square footage of home floor space (roughly).

Section 5 Balcony Repairs

If the balcony pan flashing (the layer that keeps water out) is compromised, then the whole balcony may need to be replaced. Measure the length and width of the FLOOR of each balcony and provide the square footage of EACH one. The price listed is a FULL REPLACEMENT cost approximation, so don't be alarmed with the price as this is expensive work but it is a full replacement after all. Accurate above 50SF; for smaller balconies, the price is too low, so double check with us for a more accurate price.

Section 6 - Cap Flashings

These are areas of flat stucco that need to be covered with a cap flashing.
The ledge in the picture doesn't have a cap flashing to protect the stucco from excess water that may accumulate on the surface. Right now the tool is more accurate for long lengths of this. 

Section 6b Kickout Flashings

If these are required, they will be called out by the inspection report.

Section 6c Drainage Relief

If a drainage relief is needed, it will be called out by the inspection report. It may be called a weep relief as well. These are usually over the garages in a home since there is an overhanging soffit that usually extends over the garage, and many times this detail does not have an opening for relief.
