Stucco, Drywall & Wood Repair
Paint only looks as good as what is under it. Repairs are part of the craft here: checked before painting, done properly, and prepared so the finished surface is one you can be proud of.
What’s included
- Stucco patching and preparation as part of a painting project
- Drywall patching and preparation as part of a painting project
- Wood repair on trim, siding and similar surfaces
- A repair check on every exterior before painting starts
How it goes
Find it
Repairs are identified at the estimate and again during the check before painting.
Explain it
Ebenezer tells you what needs to be done and what it means for the job.
Fix it
The repair is made and prepared for paint.
Paint over it
The repaired area is painted so it becomes part of the finished surface.
Clear boundaries
This is repair work done as part of a painting project — the patching and preparation that has to happen before a finish will last. Ebenezer holds a C-33 Painting and Decorating licence and is pursuing his Drywall and Framing licenses. For structural work, or a repair big enough to stand on its own, he will tell you plainly that it belongs to another trade.
What changes the price of stucco, drywall & wood repair
Ebenezer prices by the hours a job takes and how difficult the preparation is, which is why he looks at your project before quoting. These are the things that move it most. The estimate itself is free.
- How much surface there is. Square footage is the starting point — how many rooms, how many walls, how much trim.
- How much preparation it needs. This is the big one. Two homes that look alike can need very different amounts of washing, patching and sanding before a finish will hold.
- How many coats. A big colour change, or a bare or patched surface, needs more coats than freshening up a wall in its own colour.
- Height and access. Second storeys, stairwells and anything that needs ladders or scaffolding take longer and need more equipment.
- What else is included. Repairs, staining, waterproofing or cabinets alongside the painting all change the shape of the job.
Common questions
How long does stucco or drywall repair take before painting?
It depends on how much there is. Repairs are identified at the estimate and again during the check before painting, and Ebenezer tells you what he found and what it means for the schedule before he starts.
Do I need a separate contractor for the repairs?
Not for the patching and preparation that a paint job needs — that is part of the work. For structural work, or a repair large enough to stand on its own, Ebenezer will tell you plainly that it belongs to another trade.
What do you use to patch stucco and drywall?
Fillers and preparation materials suited to the surface, followed by Dunn-Edwards or Sherwin-Williams paint over the repaired area so it becomes part of the finished wall rather than a visible patch.
Do you guarantee the repair work?
Yes. If something is not right, Ebenezer comes back and repairs it. He manages every project personally, so the person who did the work is the person who returns. Coming back to make it right? We never have a problem with that.
Are you licensed for repair work?
Yes. Lemoons Painting holds California contractor licence 1120008, classification C-33, Painting and Decorating, held since 2024. You can look the number up yourself on the CSLB website. Ebenezer also holds OSHA 30, OSHA 10, scaffold and CPR-AED certifications.
