Stucco repair in Mobile

Hurricane Frederic was the first hurricane to strike Mobile directly since 1932. It crossed Dauphin Island on the night of September 12, 1979, a Category 4 storm, and Mobile Regional Airport recorded gusts of 97 mph, NWS Mobile's account of the storm says. Well inland, many homes were badly damaged when large pines fell on them or their roof structures failed, and parts of Mobile County went without power for five weeks.

For a stucco house, that history is a reminder of what comes down on the wall, not just what blows against it. A falling limb can crack the finish and the backing behind it in one hit, and the cracks may stay hairline-thin at first.

Plenty of houses in the city are old enough to remember Frederic. One home in four in the city was built before 1960, the Census Bureau's survey shows. In the historic districts, exterior work goes before the Architectural Review Board. One of its 2023 agendas included an in-kind repair of damaged stucco on a storefront.

If big trees stand near your stucco, keep heavy limbs trimmed back from your walls and roofline, so the next storm has less to drop on them.

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.
