5 Best Stucco Contractors in Chicago (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Stucco damage in Chicago rarely announces itself the way a burst pipe does. It's a hairline crack you keep meaning to deal with, until water gets behind the wall. Every one of the stucco contractors in Chicago below carries a perfect or near-perfect Google rating, and the top pick alone has logged 68 reviews, so the real question is less who does good work and more who catches the problem before it spreads.

Short answer: M & M Stucco Repair Inc leads on review volume (4.9 stars, 68 reviews) for crack and bird-hole repair, while Chicago Stucco Contractors and three Evanston, Oak Park and Des Plaines specialists all hold perfect 5.0 ratings. Costs depend heavily on whether the job is a spot repair or a full recoat, so always ask for a written, itemized quote.

TrueVista Stucco Repair & Painting

5.037 Google reviews

TrueVista Stucco Repair & Painting is a contractor based in Oak Park offering stucco repair, bricklaying, chimney services, pressure washing and siding work in addition to full exterior recoating. Reviewers describe the company diagnosing rusting lath and rotting substrate underneath older stucco, not just resurfacing the visible crack, on homes as old as the 1920s. It also handles trim painting as part of a larger exterior job.

What people praise

  • Perfect 5.0 rating across 37 reviews
  • Reviewers cite the crew identifying rusted lath and substrate issues, not just surface cracks
  • Texture and color match on repaired sections described as nearly impossible to spot
  • Handled additional trim painting while scaffolding was already up for one reviewer

Worth knowing

  • Tied for the smallest review base among the top names on this list
  • Deeper substrate repairs on older homes can extend the timeline versus a simple patch

Our take: Especially well suited to older Chicago-area homes where the stucco damage turns out to be a bigger substrate issue once the crew starts digging in.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Chicago stucco contractors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from dozens of reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does stucco repair cost in Chicago? (2026)

Stucco cost in Chicago depends heavily on the type of job: a small crack or bird-hole patch runs far less than diagnosing and rebuilding a delaminated section, and a full exterior recoat or color change costs more again once painting and prep are included. Access, the extent of hidden moisture damage, and whether the substrate underneath needs repair all move the price.

Serving Chicago and the surrounding suburbs

The contractors above cover Chicago and nearby suburbs including Evanston, Oak Park, Des Plaines and Itasca, with several serving the wider North Shore and northwest suburbs. Searching for a stucco contractor near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a stucco contractor

  • Is this a cosmetic crack or is there moisture damage behind the surface?
  • Will you inspect the whole exterior, not just the spot I’m calling about?
  • Is the quote itemized, and does it include painting if I want a full recoat?
  • How will you match the existing texture and paint color on repaired sections?
  • What’s your estimated timeline, and how does weather affect scheduling?
  • Will you provide the estimate in writing before starting?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these stucco contractors?

We started from every stucco contractor in the Chicago area with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

How do I know if a stucco crack is serious?

Reviewers across several of these contractors mention hollow-sounding spots, staining on interior walls, or cracks that keep reappearing as signs the damage may involve moisture behind the surface, not just the visible crack. A proper inspection settles it.

Do these contractors also repaint after a stucco repair?

Several do. Northeast Stucco Repair & Painting, TrueVista and Northwest Stucco Repair & Painting all combine stucco repair with a full exterior repaint so the finish matches across the wall.

The bottom line

M & M Stucco Repair has the deepest track record for straightforward crack and bird-hole repair, while Chicago Stucco Contractors stands out for its documented inspection process if you’re not sure how serious the damage is. Whichever you call, get the written scope and price before work starts.
