Price stucco and EIFS repairs so the hard jobs pay. Free, no signup. All defaults are editable starting points.
Stucco quotes die on one flat per-sqft number. Hairline cracks, structural cracks, and water-damage patching are three different jobs, and quoting them at the same rate is how moisture behind the stucco eats the margin. Start with your bar (75), profit margin percent (20), minimum job fee (250), and weekly take-home goal (2,500). Pick a repair preset: Hairline cracks, Structural crack, Water damage patch, Section re-stucco, or EIFS panel repair, each filling repair area, labor minutes per sq ft, and material dollars per sq ft as editable starting points. The leaks card prices moisture remediation, a texture and color match toggle that adds 25 percent labor time, demo of the bad area, elevation access from ladders to scaffold, masking and setup minutes, and drive minutes plus miles. Results show repair hours, labor, materials, vehicle, true cost, the recommended quote rounded up to 25 dollars with the minimum floor, dollars per sq ft, and your effective rate. Verdicts are PRICED RIGHT, CLOSE, BUT LEAKING, WORKING TOO CHEAP, or LOSING MONEY. The gut check grades your instinct per-sqft price; the week planner turns your goal into jobs. No signup; runs on your phone.
Example only, not typical pricing. Water damage patch preset at a $75 bar with 20 percent margin: 60 sq ft times 25 minutes equals 1,500 repair minutes, plus 45 setup plus 50 round-trip drive equals 1,595 minutes, or 26.58 hours at $75, which is $1,993.75 of labor. Materials are 60 times $4.50 equals $270. Vehicle is 30 miles at $0.67 equals $20.10. True cost is $1,993.75 plus $270 plus $20.10 equals $2,283.85. Recommended quote is 2,283.85 x 1.20 rounded up to $25 equals $2,750, or $45.83 per sq ft. Effective rate is (2,750 minus 270 minus 20.10) divided by 26.58 equals $92.54 per hour, which clears the bar, so the verdict is PRICED RIGHT. An $8 per-sqft gut quote would total $480, pay $7.14 per hour, leave $2,270 on the table, and sit below true cost. The week planner turns the $2,500 goal into 0.9 jobs and 24.2 hours: one good patch week covers the number. Price the moisture, not the crack.
Why do the repair presets matter so much?
Crack repair and water-damage patching carry different minutes and materials per sq ft. One flat rate across presets quotes the easy job's price for the hard job's work.
What does the moisture toggle add?
Two remediation hours plus $75 in materials. Moisture behind EIFS is the classic quote killer: price it up front or the quote has to move when the wall opens.
What does the color-match toggle cost?
About 25 percent more labor time. Matching texture and color is slow, skilled work; the toggle prices it instead of donating it.
Why is one flat per-sqft rate dangerous here?
Hairline cracks run about $3 to $5 per sq ft while water-damage patching runs $8 to $12. A single rate either loses the cheap jobs or gives away the hard ones.
What does CLOSE, BUT LEAKING mean?
Your effective rate sits between 75 percent and 100 percent of your bar. Scaffold time, demo, or matching minutes are usually the leak.
