Painting stucco with a roller or a paint sprayer produces very different results in coverage, texture, and durability. Rollers press paint into porous, uneven surfaces for greater control, while sprayers apply paint faster but require careful prep and technique to avoid thin spots and overspray. Understanding the strengths and limits of each method helps you choose the best approach for long-lasting exterior stucco results.

Hail damage on stucco isn’t always obvious, but subtle surface changes can signal serious issues beneath the finish. Learn how to identify dents, hairline cracks, discoloration, and moisture-related warning signs after a hailstorm. Knowing what to look for helps you determine whether the damage is cosmetic or requires professional stucco repair to protect your wall system.

Common DIY stucco repair mistakes often begin with sealing over trapped moisture, skipping primers, using the wrong mixture, or rushing work in bad weather conditions. What seems like a quick fix can lead to cracking, water damage, and peeling finishes once the seasons change.

On average, minor stucco repairs cost from CAD 8 to 50 per square foot, depending on the damage type, size, and texture. Minor crack sealing can cost as little as $500, while major moisture remediation or retexturing can reach $1,000–$1,500 per section. In this guide, you’ll find what affects the costs and a detailed breakdown of the costs. If you have more questions or need an accurate free estimate, call our stucco contractor at (780) 710-3972.
