Stucco repair in Lafayette

Louisiana didn't have one building code for the whole state until after Katrina and Rita. Act 12 of 2005 created the State Uniform Construction Code, and the legislature's digest says the first code adopted under it took effect January 1, 2007. In the meantime, it required a list of coastal parishes, including Iberia and Vermilion, to enforce the wind and flood rules of the 2003 international codes on an emergency basis.

So the year your house was built tells you something about the walls. Census figures date about a third of the Lafayette metro's homes to 2000 or later, so plenty of houses here sit on each side of that 2007 line. If you're buying, the permit history shows which rules your walls went up under.

The wind keeps testing them. When Hurricane Delta came through on October 9, 2020, the Lafayette airport recorded a 75 mph gust and the New Iberia airport 86 mph, per NWS Lake Charles.

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.
