Stucco repair costs $1,630 on average, with most projects falling between $599 and $2,662, according to Angi, based on 3,335 verified projects (updated September 2026)1. HomeAdvisor – corporate sibling publishing matching figures, which alone do not establish independent corroboration – reports the same $1,630 average and $599 to $2,662 normal range, within a wider $250 to $6,900 span depending on damage severity (updated June 2026)2. Fixr, an unaffiliated publisher, puts the national average at $1,700 for a defined repair – buckled three-coat stucco in a 10 x 10-foot area – within a $900 to $3,000 range, from $250 for fixing a woodpecker hole to $5,000 for remediation of two full EIFS walls (updated March 2025)3. The averages carry different stated scopes, and no conclusion about the gap follows.

Repair vs. replacement

Angi's repair-vs-replacement section also states a typical repair total below its own data range, so that figure is omitted.
