Stucco repair in McAllen

Many walls in the McAllen metro are young. Census figures put about half its homes at 2000 or newer, and fewer than one in a hundred before 1940. So stucco on a McAllen house is probably modern stucco, put on within the last generation.

Young walls still take a beating from the Gulf. Hurricane Hanna moved inland in late July 2020 and crossed northern Hidalgo County after midnight. Per the National Weather Service's Rio Grande Valley office, 8 to 15 inches of rain fell across part of the Valley. With poor drainage, many areas sat under 18 inches to 4 feet of water, including the Mission, La Joya and Sullivan City area. Along Interstate 2, from Harlingen west to the McAllen and Mission area, gusts reached 60 to 65 mph. The weather service says Hanna left damage to poorly built buildings that ranged from minor roof damage to complete demolition.

When you hire someone for a stucco repair after a storm like that, ask how they'll handle the building paper and flashing behind the finish, not just the finish coat itself. That hidden layer is what keeps the next storm's water out of the framing.

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.
