Calgary Stucco Repair

Over time, weather, wear, and other factors can cause damage to your stucco, leaving your home or business exposed to further deterioration.

Stucco is a durable, versatile exterior finish used in both residential and commercial properties throughout Calgary. At Earl’s Paintworks, we offer expert stucco repair in Calgary, ensuring your property remains protected, beautiful, and in top condition. Our team of highly trained stucco contractors provides complete solutions tailored to your needs—whether it’s a small patch-up or a full stucco exterior refresh.

Our Stucco Repair Process

Our step-by-step stucco repair process guarantees professional results and complete satisfaction every time.

Step 1: Assessing The Damage

Our team starts by thoroughly inspecting your stucco surfaces to identify cracks, holes, or signs of moisture damage. We provide an accurate assessment to determine the most effective repair method.

Step 2: Scraping & Priming

We scrape off any damaged or loose cement stucco and apply a high-quality primer to ensure the new stucco bonds well to the existing surface.

Step 3: Repairing Cracks & Holes

Our team expertly applies a customized stucco mix to fill cracks and holes, blending seamlessly with the existing stucco exterior. Whether it’s traditional stucco or acrylic finish, we ensure the repairs restore both the look and structural integrity of your home.

Step 4: Painting Your Stucco

Once repairs are complete, we offer professional stucco painting to refresh the appearance of your home. We can even colour-match your existing stucco for a flawless finish.

Step 5: Cleanup

We take pride in leaving every job site spotless. Once the repair work is done, our team thoroughly cleans up, ensuring your home/business looks its best.

Common Stucco Issues In Calgary

Calgary’s weather can take a toll on stucco, causing issues that require timely repairs to maintain your home’s durable exterior:

Weather Damage

Harsh winters, freezing temperatures, and heavy rains can cause exterior stucco to crack or peel. Over time, moisture buildup can weaken the cement stucco, leading to more severe problems if not addressed quickly.

Age-Related Stucco Wear

As stucco ages, it becomes more brittle and prone to cracking. Regular maintenance of older homes can prevent further deterioration and prolong the lifespan of your stucco exterior.

Poor Installation

Improperly applied stucco is more likely to fail prematurely. At Earl’s Paintworks, we ensure all stucco is applied correctly, so your home or business is well-protected.

Types of Stucco We Work With

We are experienced in working with various types of stucco, offering solutions for both residential and commercial stucco applications.

Traditional Stucco

Made from cement, lime, and sand, traditional stucco offers a classic appearance and is highly durable when maintained.

Acrylic Stucco

Acrylic finishes are more flexible and resistant to cracking, making them an excellent option for modern stucco projects. They come in a variety of colours and provide superior moisture resistance.

EIFS (Exterior Insulation & Finish System)

EIFS offers the added benefit of insulation, making it a popular choice for energy efficiency in homes and businesses. We can repair and install EIFS for your property.

Benefits Of Stucco Repairs

Regular stucco maintenance provides several benefits, from protecting your home to enhancing its appearance.

Protect Your Home’s Structural Integrity

Damaged stucco allows moisture to seep in, potentially leading to more severe damage like wood rot. Timely stucco repairs protect the structural integrity of your home or business.

Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal

Stucco repairs and stucco painting can significantly improve your home’s appearance, boosting its curb appeal and resale value.

Cost-Effective Solution

Stucco repairs are a more affordable option than a complete reinstallation, providing a long-term fix that preserves your property without a hefty price tag.

Preventing Stucco Damage

With proper care, your stucco can last for decades. Here are a few tips to keep your stucco surfaces in top condition:

Regular Maintenance

Inspect your stucco regularly to catch small issues before they become bigger problems. Small cracks are much easier (and cheaper) to fix than large-scale damage.

Proper Drainage Systems

Ensure your home has proper drainage to prevent water from pooling near the foundation or getting trapped behind stucco walls.

Repainting & Sealing

Every few years, consider repainting your stucco and applying a sealant to maintain its durability and keep it looking fresh.

What our clients say

“We worked with Earl's Paintworks this summer and had a terrific experience. Earl has provided a terrific contact to get some stucco fixed and spent a few minutes out of his day helping us fix some wooden siding and providing advice to ensure a seamless fix. His crew's attention to detail and professionalism were a welcome change from some of the other companies we looked at. We highly recommend them have them and wouldn't hesitate to have his team work on future projects at our home.”

I was incredibly impressed with Earl and his crew! I typically don’t hire contractors without a personal recommendation, but after getting three different quotes, Earl stood out. He took the time to understand exactly what I needed, offered a fair price, and confidently estimated the entire job would take just four days.In January 2025, Earl and his team repainted my entire four-bedroom home, and they delivered exactly as promised—completing the job in just four days. The team were professional, personable, and went above and beyond, even taking care of extra details that weren’t part of the original quote. Earl’s efficiency, attention to detail, and commitment to quality were evident from start to finish, including a thorough cleanup at the end.I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Earl again for future projects, and I now highly recommend him and his team to family and friends!

We got Earl and his team to completely redo our main and upstairs level. Baseboards, window and door trims, as well as paint the entire house, kitchen and bathroom vanity’s. Him and his team showed up on time, completely masked the house in 3 days and completed the work in the time quoted. Very helpful with ideas and problem solving. Earl’s carpenter also came in to do the wood work around the house, also part of the quote with very competitive pricing (best price out of 3 quotes even with extra work added on). Will hire Earl for all my future inside and outside paint jobs. Thanks again guys, you did an incredible job.

Earl and his crew did a great job painting the trim on our home. There were challenges in trying to reach the height in some very tight spaces, however Earl provided a solution that no-one else had identified that was efficient, effective and the job was done at a very fair price. We would highly recommend.

Earl did a great job painting our place. We were on a rush since we wanted to get the place painted and the ceiling updated (we wanted to go from a popcorn texture to flat) before moving in and he did a great job accommodating time to finalize the job within the required time with an excellent result. I recommend his services 100%.

We hired Earl and his crew to paint the baseboards & walls of our basement. He is very good at answering emails and texts. Also is punctual when meeting for quotes and doing the work. I specifically wanted our baseboards lacquered and NOT brush or roller painted. It cost more, but the results speak for themselves. The basement was left clean and the furniture well covered. Great work from this company. Would recommend

Recently Earl painted the exterior of our house. The structure was very challenging and needed an enormous amount of prep work. Earl and his crew showed up every day on time and went full tilt for 4 days to get all the prep and painting done. The paint was all brushed and rolled.They were very professional and it was obvious that they take pride in their work.I did have trouble deciding on the colours and after a couple of stressful months, I followed up with a colour consultant that Earl recommended. It was money well spent and we are very pleased with how it turned out.I would not hesitate to recommend Earl and his crew.

Earl and his team helped me dramatically improve the interior of a recently purchased 1960 Bungalow. They prepped and painted the main level completely (ceiling, walls, windows, door jams, etc.) and did some painting in basement as well. Easy to work with from the start to finish. Great job, on time, and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Earl’s Paintworks. I will most likely be using their services again soon!

Earl is the best in the business! We hired Earl to paint the exterior of our 106 year-old heritage home that was in disrepair. Our house is a craftsman bungalow that required highly detailed workmanship. Because of the uniqueness of the house, and its heritage value, we were nervous to hire the job out to just anyone. We met with a number of companies and Earl's Paintworks stood tall above the rest. We loved that Earl was an owner/operator and knew after talking to him that he'd take great care with our beloved home. We weren't wrong! Earl and Jeremy were meticulous - sanding every nook and cranny to ensure a perfect finish that would stand the test of time. We wanted a tri-colour scheme to show off the home's craftsmanship, which required a lot of taping, cutting, and intricate work. Our neighbours would stop by to compliment Earl and Jeremy - blown away by the precision and quality of their work. Both my fiancé and I were sad to see them leave. Earl and Jeremy had become fast friends, always making time to stop and visit with us (despite putting in long days of hard labour). Couldn't recommend them enough! If you are looking for a painter, do yourself a favour, and stop here.

We recently hired Earl's Paintworks to repaint the entire interior of a newly-purchased home and could not be more pleased with the quality of the work and exceptional service provided from start to finish. We were on a very tight timeline & Earl (the owner) and Jeremy showed up ready to work 30 minutes after we took possession of the house. They put in long hours to finish the job in only 8.5 days, despite the fact that it was a massive project (3 storey house with over 30 windows/doors to paint around and some 20ft ceilings). The care they took to cover our hardwood floors, carpeting and cabinetry was remarkable - not a drop of paint left anywhere it didn't belong.Earl was truly a pleasure to work with, responded to our questions in a timely & friendly fashion, and provided knowledgeable (and realistic) advice on different finishes and colour options. He even went above and beyond to point out some small repairs that needed to be addressed around the house which was helpful to us as new owners. We had 4 different companies quote on the job and chose Earl's Paintworks based on a gut feeling that Earl was the right choice. Very happy with our decision - so much so that we're hoping to have them back this summer to do the exterior of our house as well.We would recommend Earl's Paintworks to anyone without hesitation. If you're looking for a hardworking, locally-owned company to do an efficient, professional, super high quality job, this is it!

We wanted the interior and doors repainted in our home in preparation for selling. We obtained a couple of quotes from painters. We ended up choosing Earl due to our positive interactions with him.This is a small but very professional company. It was good to work with a smaller company where the person painting your home is the actual owner and therefore, someone who took full responsibility for the work. Earl was very helpful with colour suggestions. He was easy to communicate with via both emails, phone calls and text. Earl was a perfectionist. He finished our 2 level 2000 sq ft home in about 6 full days. He came a few weeks later to do the exterior doors (garage and entry) when the weather was warmer.I would not hesitate to recommend Earl's Paintworks.
