Full stucco remediation in Yardley, PA
Lower Makefield Township · Stucco-belt subdivisions
Full stucco remediation — Stucco off to the sheathing, rotted wood replaced, the drainage plane and flashing that were missing built properly, then re-clad. The permanent fix rather than another patch.
In Yardley and the rest of Bucks County this work typically runs $45,000–$140,000. That is a typical range for the area rather than a quote: the amount of hidden damage behind the cladding is the largest variable and cannot be priced accurately before the wall is opened.
Yardley homeowners ask about full stucco remediation more than you'd expect.
What homeowners tend to describe
- Cracks that keep coming back in the same spot after being patched
- Dark staining running down the wall below a window corner
- A moisture inspection that came back with high readings at several probes
Why this comes up in Yardley
Ordinary inland exposure across most of the township, with more humidity and shade in the sections nearer the river and the canal. That's the exposure any contractor working in Yardley is dealing with.
Extensive single-family development from the 1970s through the 2000s, including very large 1990s and 2000s neighbourhoods, plus a compact historic borough core. Stucco is common on the later stock.
Getting the work done in Yardley
Suburban lots with driveways and side yards throughout the developments. The borough core is tighter, with shorter setbacks and less staging room.

How it's normally handled
Remediation is a tear-off, not a coating. The stucco comes off down to the sheathing, and only then can anyone see how far the water travelled. Rotted OSB and any compromised framing get replaced, a proper water-resistive barrier and drainage plane go on, kickout and head flashing get installed at every roof-wall intersection and opening, a weep screed goes in at the base, and the wall is re-clad. A contractor should be willing to show you the sheathing once it is exposed and revise the scope in writing if the rot runs further than the estimate assumed.
What it costs
$45,000–$140,000 — typical range, not a quote. What your home needs can only be settled by a registered contractor who comes out and looks at it.
Nobody can tell you what yours needs from a description alone, including us.
