Boerne Stucco Repair Pros — Free Estimates & Fast Scheduling
Boerne homeowners trust our team for every stucco repair service their property needs. From color-matched patches and three-coat re-stucco to elastomeric crack-bridging coatings and EIFS moisture surveys, we bring the full range of skills and equipment directly to your neighborhood. Whether your home is part of Boerne's growing newer housing stock or among the 16 percent of units built before 1980, we understand the specific demands this Hill Country city places on exterior stucco walls.
Boerne's climate puts stucco through a punishing seasonal cycle. With a January average low of 41 °F and a July average high of 94.9 °F, walls expand and contract across a range of roughly 54 degrees every year. That movement opens hairline cracks and eventually causes delamination. Add the roughly 32.4 inches of annual precipitation—concentrated around a May rainy season that averages 4.4 inches in the wettest month alone—and moisture has repeated opportunities to work behind a compromised surface. The dominant Barbarosa silty clay loam soil drains well, but when water enters stucco through failed joints or missing weep screeds, it has nowhere to go except deeper into the assembly. Our crews use an EIFS moisture probe meter to map trapped water before any patch goes on, so repairs address the real source of damage rather than just the visible surface.
Our services cover the full scope of what Boerne walls require. Small crack repairs run $250–$800 per crack repaired and textured, while color-matched patches range from $400–$1,200 each. Three-coat portland cement-lime re-stucco installed over galvanized metal lath and two layers of grade-D building paper is available at $7–$14 per square foot. We replace weep screeds at $8–$20 per linear foot, cut and seal control and expansion joints at $4–$10 per linear foot, and apply elastomeric crack-bridging coatings to a full elevation for $1,200–$3,500. Complete stucco repair projects range from $1,500–$9,000 depending on scope. Every job follows a disciplined process: sounding the wall to map drummy areas, cutting failed stucco back to a sound edge and undercutting it so new material keys in, hand-floating the scratch, brown, and finish coats with hawk and trowel, and matching your existing dash, sand-float, or skip-trowel texture on a sample board before touching the wall.
Professional work also means navigating Boerne's permitting requirements correctly. Contractors must be registered with the City of Boerne and submit permit applications through the My Government Online portal for projects within city limits. The Permitting and Code Compliance Department at 447 N. Main Street enforces the 2021 International Building Code and 2021 International Residential Code, and conducts inspections of all construction projects. With a median home value of $464,100 and 76 percent of housing owner-occupied, protecting your investment with properly permitted, code-compliant stucco repair is not just good practice—it preserves the value that Boerne homeowners have built.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if water is getting behind my EIFS?
Tell-tale signs are soft spots, staining below windows and joints, and finish that feels spongy. We confirm it with a moisture probe meter that reads the wall behind the lamina, because EIFS can trap water out of sight long before the surface shows damage.
How often should stucco be maintained?
Walk the walls once a year and look at the joints, the sealant around windows and penetrations, and the base above grade. Re-sealing joints every three to five years and addressing cracks early is what keeps small maintenance from turning into a re-stucco.
Do you guarantee the repair?
Quality stucco work carries a workmanship warranty on the repair area covering cracking and delamination from defects in our installation. Weathering and movement outside the repaired section are evaluated separately, and we put the terms in writing before we start.
Do I need a permit to re-stucco my house?
Inside city limits a full re-stucco or re-side is usually a permitted job with a plan review, while small crack and patch repairs generally are not. We confirm what your jurisdiction requires and pull the permit when one is needed so the work passes inspection.
What are the warning signs that my stucco needs repair?
The common signs are cracks that keep growing, rust or brown staining bleeding through the finish, soft or hollow-sounding areas when you tap the wall, and bulging or crumbling around windows and the base. Any of these means water is getting in and the system needs attention.
