"Rafael and Lilian Touch were amazing. My 1914 home in Evanston's Lake Shore Historic District is a work in progress. Not long after I moved in, part of the stucco ceiling on the front porch crashed to the ground. I think it goes without saying that it was a revolting and unexpected development. I requested quotes from the usual North Shore/north suburban firms. I received mostly eye-watering quotes that seemed completely unreasonable to me as a commercial property manager and real estate broker. Insurance and industry estimates were around a third of what many of the quotes were. Lilian Touch came out and quickly drafted a quote. They respected my desire to do a patch since we are undecided regarding how long we intend to stay and what we ultimately want to do with the exterior. Once we decided, Rafael was able to get me on the schedule quickly and they were able to complete a stellar job in just two days. Rafael and Lilian were not the least expensive quote, but I felt entirely comfortable with their estimate and I trusted them to stand behind their craftsmanship. The repair looks amazing and blends in near-perfectly. Lilian Touch far exceeded my expectations and should we decide to move forward with the entire house or additional contract work, they will be our first phone call! Highly, highly recommended!"

Stucco repair can take an hour or two if it's a small crack repair or window caulking job. However, more extensive jobs, such as remediating water damage, patching or replacing large areas, or replacing the siding completely, can take three or four days or more. The time it takes to repair stucco depends on the type and extent of damage.
Stucco that looks or feels damp several days after rain, has discolored patches, soft spots, or other issues, may have moisture problems and need professional repair. You may also find that the drywall inside your home, below windows, feels soft. This indicates moisture behind the stucco, damaging your home's walls from the outside in.
You should inspect your stucco at least twice a year to identify any early signs of damage. Regular evaluations allow you to catch issues such as small cracks, discoloration, or moisture buildup before they escalate into extensive repairs. Consistent monitoring ensures that your home’s exterior remains in top condition, saving money on more costly repairs later.
The process for repairing stucco damage begins with the removal of all loose and crumbling material, followed by a thorough cleaning of the area. After dampening the surface and applying a bonding agent, new stucco is applied in layered coats with sufficient curing time between each layer, and the final texture is matched to the surrounding surface. This method restores both the appearance and protection of your exterior.
