Any licensed contractors out there that can give me an idea of what
repairing 6 holes made by BB's straight into rough texture stucco
would cost?

Pattern is inside less than 6 inch diameter circle, maybe waist hieght
above ground. Stucco has rough texture like aggragate, or sand in it.
Holes are fairly clean. Stucco is brown, maybe more sand stone type
brown.

I know, to fix myself, I'd by a tube of matching color stucco patching
in a caulking tube and plug holes DONE!

But, I need a number associated with the repair from a source that can
carry some weight. First estimate was around $1,000+ Seems a little
high.

I would charge $100 to remove a golf ball out of stucco and repair the
damage.

Spackle with a little sand. A dab of acryllic hobby paint.

Estimate? $1,000? This isn't April 1, so who are you suing? I'd bet
the $1,000 estimate came from someone who thought you were nuts and
didn't want to come near ya'.

Sounds like a $100 to $200 job, but without a photo, can't say for
sure. If a clean hole, it is easily filled. If it left a big pock
mark to be blended in, different story.

The fact that you are posting this question
here on usenet suggests that the problem
is not with the job but with you, especially
if the bidder whom you called quoted you
$1,000...

Get a tube of exterior caulking and fill the
holes... Wait until caulk is dry and paint
to match wall...

You would really look like an ass suing
someone over something that is like
$100 to fix...

You forgot to mention the general location
of the wall to be repaired, city and state
mean a lot as far as construction/repair
costs...
