About the service
What is Red Cliffs Stucco Co.?
It is a request line. You send a photo, a form or a call, and we connect you with an independent local stucco contractor who works in your area. That contractor looks at the wall, gives you a written estimate and does the work if you hire them. Read more about how it works.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. Sending a request costs nothing, and the contractor’s written estimate is free. You are not obligated to book anything.
How does matching work?
We read your message, ask a question or two if something is unclear, and line up a visit with a local crew that handles that kind of job. You and the contractor agree on a time. After that, you deal with the contractor directly.
What areas do you take requests from?
Washington County and nearby, including St. George, Washington, Santa Clara, Ivins, Hurricane, LaVerkin, Toquerville and Cedar City.
Cost
How much does stucco repair cost?
National cost guide ranges, not a quote: small patches are often about $200 to $600, and most stucco repair jobs run about $600 to $3,000. Crack repair is often about $300 to $1,500 depending on length and cause. The stucco repair cost guide covers more job types and what moves the price.
Should I repair or restucco?
Most walls only need repair. Restucco starts to make sense when cracks cover most of the house, patches keep failing or water has spread in several places. National guides put full restucco often at about $8 to $15 per square foot, and they vary widely. See stucco installation and restucco.
Cracks
Are hairline cracks normal?
Fine cracks are common on stucco here, where hot days and cool nights make walls expand and shrink. Many are cosmetic. They can still let in monsoon rain and dust, so sealing them is a good idea. See stucco crack repair.
When does a crack mean something bigger?
Watch for cracks wider than a credit card, cracks that grow, diagonal cracks off window corners and stair step patterns. Local foundation companies link cracks like these to expansive blue clay and collapsible soils. A crew can tell you whether the crack is in the stucco only or a sign of movement below.
Why does my newer home already have cracks?
Many homes in Washington County went up quickly, and some are showing cracks, failed caulk and stained weep screeds within a few years. Soil movement and sun play a part too. A crew can look and explain what they see.
Water
How can I tell if water is getting behind my stucco?
Look for dark stains under windows or along roof lines, bubbling paint, soft or crumbly spots near the ground, and musty smells or stains on inside walls. Cracked parapet caps on flat roofs are a common source. See stucco water damage and inspection.
Can sprinklers damage stucco?
Yes. Irrigation that sprays the base of a wall day after day keeps the bottom of the stucco wet. Over time that can stain the wall, wear out the finish and clog the weep screed. Aim heads away from walls when you can.
Is synthetic stucco different?
Yes. EIFS uses foam board and a thin finish, and many newer homes have foam trim or EIFS accents. It needs different repair materials and steps. See EIFS repair.
HOA
Will the repair match my HOA’s colors?
A crew can work to match approved colors and textures, but fresh stucco rarely matches sun faded walls exactly. Painting the full wall often gives the most even result. Check with your HOA on what it requires before work starts. See stucco painting and elastomeric coating.
Do I need HOA approval for a stucco repair?
Many HOAs want approval for color changes, restucco or additions, and some ask about smaller work too. Ask your HOA. A written estimate with color and texture details helps with the request.
Snowbirds and second homes
I’m not in town. Can I still send a request?
Yes. Text photos from wherever you are, or have a neighbor or property manager send them. Let us know who will meet the crew, and the contractor can share the written estimate by text or email.
What should I check before I leave for the season?
Walk the house and photograph each wall. Look for new cracks, stains and loose caulk around windows. Check that sprinklers do not hit the walls. Fixing small problems before monsoon season keeps an empty house from taking on water for months.
Rentals
Can work be done between guests or tenants?
Often, yes. Short term rentals toward Hurricane, LaVerkin and Zion often book tightly, so mention your open dates in your request. The contractor can tell you if the job fits that window.
Utah license check
How do I check a contractor’s license?
Ask the contractor for their Utah license number and look it up with the Utah Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL). Stucco work falls under the DOPL S270 and S230 classifications. Red Cliffs Stucco Co. does not vouch for any contractor’s license, so it is worth checking yourself.
