"Bob's price was in line with other quotes I got for the work.  The work began later than promised.  Apparently, the company misplaced my email with the signed contract.  That said, they DID put me in the queue as if they had received the email when I sent it, so it was only delayed about 1 week.  The worker showed up on time and spent about 5 hours repairing the porch.  He came back the next day and painted - another 4-5 hours total.  The problems with the work were this:  He repaired the holes and was able to make one side of the stucco look smooth, yet the side that the holes had been on was finished in a manner that makes the edifice of the lower part of the porch look very different on one side than on the other side.  The person who did the repair obviously used some sort of Bondo mixture to create a surface, which is fine, but why not smooth out the finish so that it looks like the side that did not need the Bondo mixture?  In addition to the surface smoothness issue, the paint job on the porch cap and steps (where people actually walk) is already started to peel, and little spots of red (the previous color of the porch) are showing up beneath the new blue paint.  This happened within 1 week of the work.  It seems like I shouldn't have to touch up/repaint portions of my porch just 1 week after they did the work.  The price, for 9-10 hours of work, seems to be a bit much.  Subtracting the cost of materials, we're looking at about $100-$125/hour for labor for a job that wasn't done very well.  
I emailed Bob several times after the work was done and he referred me to an email he sent where it stated that "It would certainly be better to replace the stucco.  I can only do repairs.  You would need a stucco person to take the old off and replace completely.  It will be more costly, but a permanent fix."  Fair enough, Bob, but the word "repair" means to "make as close to new as possible".  I wasn't asking for the worker to remove and replace stucco, but to "repair" it means to make it look smooth and uniform across the whole lower portion of the porch.  I eventually talked to Bob on the phone and he kept repeating "we don't know how to do stucco", yet, somehow, they DID know how to create a Bondo-type mixture and repair holes, etc.  If you can spread a mixture onto the edifice of a wall, you can spread it on evenly and smoothly (which they didn't do).  The end result was that Bob refused to have the work redone or actually fully "repaired".  So, I have a newly painted porch that has a lot of spots where the old paint is coming through, and a porch lower portion that shows very clearly where repairs were made.  It just looks bad overall.

Update 10/1/15
After reading Bob's Painting's response, I contacted them and asked them to make good on their promise to come and add another coat of paint to my porch.  They said that they would be able to do that, an a few weeks later, they did come and add another coat of paint to my porch cap.  I appreciate the follow up with this."

"Charles called and let me know he was on the way to my house. He arrived on time and was very professional. He did an excellent job. He is knowledgeable about repairs and wants a satisfied customer. I will certainly hire Charles again. His cost was with materials which I also like."

"I called late on a Friday afternoon after my air went out. They came after hours, installed the new unit, and took the old one for evaluation & possible repair. A year later I called them back for another ac problem (different unit), and they came same day. Whereas another contractor told me to junk the unit, Greg replaced a small part & all was well. While with me the second trip, I mentioned several other small jobs, and they got right on them! The vent hood took a trip into the attic and up onto the roof, but they figured out the problem and solved it. This hood was damaged during Katrina (12 years ago) & Ive had several companies out to look/repair and nobody was able to diagnose problem. Now I have my hood back! Repaired two ceiling fans that I'd been told to junk, repaired a pendant light wired incorrectly by another contractor, and even replaced some light bulbs in my 12-foot ceiling-ed rooms! Excellent service, very fair pricing, good responsiveness, and just all-around nicefolks. I HIGHLY recommend!"

"I have been very pleased with the services provided by GreenSeasons. They are very professional: they call before coming to let you know they are on their way, they are dressed in a uniform and show up In a vehicle displaying the companies logo, and they arrive promptly. Since starting with my quarterly pest control services, I no longer have to worry about roaches, ants, or especially fleas which we had terrible problems with. We had numerous companies come out and spray for fleas (house and yard) with no luck. GreenSeasons came out and fogged the interior of my house with Cedar Oil and continue to spray the outside with this product...it is amazing... No more fleas! Great job!"
