Looking for some advice regarding repairing some minor cracks in Stucco. I've tried to do some research on the proper way to repair but I'm not having much luck. I'm not sure if this is a DIY repair that I want to take on. After the repair is complete, I plan to repaint all of the stucco with a new color.

Does anyone have advice on stucco repair?

Does anyone have any references that you can share with me to get price quotes?

i wanted to paint my stucco a different color as well. The thing is, this is not the right way to do it. My bro in law did it about a year ago and it looked great then, but now it looks splotchy. he paid a pretty penny to have it done. super nice house. That said, i was talking to my neighbors and asked them what color they painted their stucco. They said " we didnt paint it. you arent supposed to o that. the stucco absorbs paint at different rates and it can look splotchy. we had it restucco'd about 6 years ago." it honestly looks like they just had it done last week. super clean. all that said, i would recommend getting a stucco guy to come patch your cracks and also give you a price to restucco it. might be a bit more upfront but will keep you from paying more down the line

I'm not an expert but I own multiple properties that are stucco'd, yes you do paint stucco. You use elastomeric paint.

Now you can certainly re stucco I suppose, but painting it with the right paint works fine.
