We received a quote to repair 7 smaller-sized holes in our stucco. We thought the quote was high; however, we assumed it was because they needed to rent machinery to reach our chimney and roofline for 2 of the holes that needed to be patched. We also assumed it would take them a lot longer than 3 hours to make the repairs. They charged us $1,900 for three hours of work. That is over $600 an hour! The materials they used cost less than $100 and they even used our paint. We tried to negotiate a lower price and the owner told us to pay or he'd call his attorney. We are making a small court claim to obtain at least half of the proceeds. Regardless of what you think, stucco does not take a long time to repair; especially if the holes are smaller than ours. There are plenty of honest contractors who will repair for A LOT cheaper than what we paid. And this all happened after Hurricane Helene when Lexington was hit so hard. Run from this contractor. They are a rip-off and completely dishonest!!!! read more
