Clear Pricing. Lasting Protection.
Stucco work in LA ranges from $10-$16 per sq ft for one-coat stucco systems, $12-$25 per sq ft for traditional three-coat installations, $14-$22 per sq ft for elastomeric coatings over existing stucco, and $18-$28 per sq ft for premium textured finishes (Santa Barbara, lace, skip trowel). Most stucco repairs run $8-$15 per sq ft for patching with color matching. Pricing includes surface preparation, professional application, and your choice of texture and color.
Stucco runs $8-$28 per square foot depending on coat system and texture. Three-coat stucco (scratch + brown + finish) over felt-paper moisture barrier and metal lath lasts 50-80 years. One-coat systems applied direct over foam are faster and cheaper to install but show cracks within a decade. Curing time between coats is the variable most often cut on speed-driven jobs and the most common cause of long-term failure. Cost variance comes from coat system (one vs. three), texture choice (smooth float and lace are budget; Santa Barbara hand-troweled is premium), color approach (integral pigment in the finish coat vs. paint over white finish), and prep on existing surfaces (cracks need to be repaired and re-textured before paint, not painted over). We install weep screed at the base and kick-out flashing where roof meets sidewall to shed water off the wall instead of channeling it behind the stucco. Missing those is what causes the dark stain and dry-rot at corners. License #1131088, 2-year workmanship warranty.
