What shapes a stucco repair & replacement job
These are the things that make one job different from another. Mention them in your notes so each pro can scope your job properly.
What is not part of stucco repair & replacement
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- A stucco job that reaches $1,000 in labor and materials goes to a licensed contractor, and NorTech flags this before you book.
- Rotted sheathing, framing and structural damage found behind the stucco is carpentry or structural work for a licensed contractor.
- Full re-stucco of a whole house and moisture investigations on foam-backed systems are larger projects for a licensed contractor.
- Window replacement, flashing rebuilds and roof leaks that caused the damage are separate services on NorTech.
- Grinding or sanding painted stucco on a home built before 1978 without telling your pro first. Old coatings can hold lead, so the method has to be chosen before dust is created.

Before you book stucco repair & replacement
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph the damage before it rains
Take close photos of each crack and a wider shot of the whole wall. Add a coin or ruler for scale.
Tap the wall to find hollow spots
Knock lightly with your knuckles around cracks and bulges. A dull, hollow sound means the coating has separated from the wall.
Look for stains below cracks
Brown or dark streaks below a crack, window or roof edge point to a water source. Tell the pro where you see them, because the leak has to be stopped or the repair will fail.
Check for sprinklers and soil contact
Run the sprinklers and watch whether water hits the wall. Look at the base of the wall for soil, mulch or concrete covering the bottom edge.
Note the color and texture
Tell the pro if the wall has ever been painted, and which finish it has: smooth, sand, dash or heavy texture. A photo in daylight helps with color matching.
Move plants and furniture
Clear shrubs, vines and outdoor furniture from the wall, and cover nearby windows and surfaces if you can. Patching stucco can be messy, and the pro needs room to set up a ladder or scaffold.
Say where in Millbrae you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Millbrae Highlands, The Meadows, and Green Hills, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

Best time to book stucco repair & replacement
