Stucco repair in Columbia

Columbia knows what a wall goes through in a real soaking. In early October 2015, the airport caught 10.28 inches of rain in two days, smashing the old two-day record of 7.69 inches from 1949. From the city southeast across the Midlands, totals ran 10 to 20 inches, and dam failures closed roads and bridges.

Stucco sheds rain well on its face. The trouble starts when water gets in behind it and has no way back out. A wall can look fine from the yard while the wood behind it stays wet.

Around Whaley Street, stucco is the exception: Columbia's guidelines for the area call wood weatherboard the historically main siding, with stucco on several homes. In Waverly, the guidelines say not to cover wood siding with stucco or synthetic stucco. They also say not to hide a stucco gable under horizontal siding, and to repair or replace a worn gable in kind.

So if your Waverly gable is cracked, fix the gable. Covering it up isn't one of your options there.

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.
