Cracks, loose patches, hail marks, water stains: stucco damage shows up in many forms, and most of it gets worse if you wait. Wave Stucco offers stucco repair Calgary homes and businesses can count on. We cut back to sound material, fix the cause, and blend the finish so the patch disappears. This page walks through the repairs we handle, how we do them, and what drives the cost.

Every repair we finish is blended so you cannot spot the patch, even up close. Take a look at the difference a proper cut-out, texture match, and colour blend makes.
Most of our work is on Calgary homes. Single-family houses, townhouse, and garages all face the same freeze-thaw stress, and all of them benefit from an early fix. For residential stucco repair, we work around your schedule, protect your landscaping, and keep the site clean each day. You get one point of contact from the first visit to the final walk-through.
We also handle commercial stucco repair for property managers, strata buildings, and business owners across Calgary. Commercial jobs often mean larger elevations, tighter timelines, and coordination around tenants or foot traffic. We scope the work clearly, quote it line by line, and schedule to limit disruption. Whether it is one storefront or a full building envelope, the standard is the same.
Stucco fails in a few common ways, and each one needs a different fix. Here is what we repair and how we approach it.
Cracks are the most common stucco problem in Calgary. Hairline cracks near windows and doors usually come from normal building movement and temperature swings. Wider cracks can signal settling or trapped moisture. We rout the crack, seal it, and blend the texture so the line vanishes. Left alone, even a thin crack lets water in, so early crack repair is the cheapest repair you will ever make.
Southern Alberta sees several hailstorms a year, and stucco takes the hits. Hail leaves pockmarks and micro-fractures that break the finish and open a path for water. We restore the impacted zones and reinforce weak areas. If the damage is from a recent storm, we can document it for an insurance claim.
Some jobs go beyond a single patch. A full elevation can crack, fade, or delaminate across a whole face of the building. We repair exterior stucco at any scale, from one panel to an entire wall, matching the finish across the repaired area so it reads as one surface.
When the finish lifts or bulges away from the wall, moisture is usually trapped behind it. This is not a surface fix. We remove the failed section, check the sheathing and building paper underneath, address any water damage, and rebuild the layers over a sound base.
EIFS is a foam-backed system that looks like stucco but repairs differently. It needs specific steps to keep the insulation and weather barrier intact. Our crew follows the manufacturer process on every EIFS repair so the system keeps doing its job.
A repair only works if you cannot see it. We patch with acrylic finish and tint the colour to your weathered wall, not the original spec, because a fresh mix that matches the label still looks too bright next to sun-aged stucco. We test the texture and colour on a board before we touch the wall.
Woodpeckers drill into foam-backed stucco in older, tree-lined neighbourhoods. We patch the hole, seal the cavity, and can add a reinforced coating so the birds do not come back to the same spot.
A lasting repair is about what happens under the finish, not just the coat on top. Here is our method.
We score around the damage and take out all loose or compromised material back to a sound base. Anything left behind causes a callback.
We check the wire, building paper, or foam underneath. If water reached the sheathing, we address it before re-coating.
Where the base needs protection, we apply a membrane to seal the moisture path.
We build the repair back up so it sits flush with the surrounding wall.
We float the finish and copy your existing texture pattern so the repair blends in.
We tint to your weathered wall and let it cure. Done right, the patch disappears.
Every repair is priced after we see the wall, because a few things move the number:
A single hairline crack is a small job. Widespread delamination is not.
More surface means more material and more time on the job.
Acrylic, cement, and EIFS each require different repair methods.
Height, difficult access, and scaffolding can add time to the job.
Older, weathered finishes take more care and testing to blend naturally.
Water damage in the substrate may need to be addressed to protect the repair.
Most crack repairs start around $150, and typical repairs run $400 to $1,500. For a full scope-by-scope breakdown, see the cost guide on our homepage. We give a written price after a free on-site assessment, and the price you approve is the price you pay.

In most cases we repair only the affected area. As long as the surrounding finish is sound and bonds well, a spot repair blended to match is the right call. We recommend a larger recoat only when the finish has failed across the wall.
Yes. If water is getting in or a section has fallen, call or text us and we respond the same day to protect the wall and plan the fix.
Sooner is cheaper. In our freeze-thaw climate, water works into a crack, freezes, and widens it. A small seal now prevents a much larger repair later.
Some repairs can be done in the cold with the right products and methods, but finish and colour work often need warmer, dry conditions to cure. We tell you honestly whether your repair should wait for better weather.
Yes. For storm and hail damage, we document the affected areas and work with your adjuster so the claim reflects the real scope of the repair.
Yes. We handle commercial and strata stucco repair across Calgary, scoped and scheduled to limit disruption to tenants and customers.
