Stucco repair in Baton Rouge

Water is the big story for Baton Rouge walls. In August 2016, a slow-moving storm system dropped 20 to 30 inches of rain on parts of southeast Louisiana in three days. Weather service records show it brought record flooding to the Amite and Comite river basins and flooded thousands of homes and businesses across the Baton Rouge and Hammond areas.

Plenty of Baton Rouge houses are fairly new. Roughly 40 percent of the metro's homes date from 2000 or later, according to the Census Bureau. Age doesn't protect a wall from a flood, though. Water that stands against stucco for days soaks in whether the house is five years old or fifty.

Wind is the other test. When Hurricane Gustav came through in September 2008, the Baton Rouge airport recorded a 91 mph gust, within one mph of the record Hurricane Betsy set in 1965, and the weather service describes extensive wind damage across the greater Baton Rouge area.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo tells us a lot about the type and size of the damage, but a local pro who walks the wall will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
What does stucco repair usually cost?
Small patch jobs often land in the low hundreds. Cracks across a whole wall, or water damage behind the stucco, can run into the thousands. Your photo and ZIP help us narrow it to a range that fits your area.
Do I need to know the square footage?
No. Take your best guess if you can, but if you’re not sure, just skip it — we’ll estimate the size from your photo and your answers.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A clear shot of the damaged area in daylight, plus one from a few steps back so we can see how big it is. More photos help.
