Q: Can hot glue damage stucco permanently?

• <div><p>Solid, unpainted stucco shouldn&rsquo;t suffer damage from dots of glue used for this task. If the stucco is dirty, you may notice slight marks when you heat and peel the glue away, but these aren&rsquo;t permanent.</p><p>However, not all stucco walls are solid stucco. Some are &ldquo;faux&rdquo; stucco with a foam backing. This kind of stucco veneer is more susceptible to damage, including damage from hot glue. We don&rsquo;t suggest attaching anything to these kinds of stucco walls, so make sure you check the stucco type before starting this project.</p></div>

Q: How long does German schmear last?

• <div><p>German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance. This makes it an economical option compared to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost of painting your house exterior</a>, which usually needs to be repainted every five to 10 years to keep it looking its best&mdash;thus costing more over the same time period.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to replace windows in stucco?

• <div><p>It typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes for a window pro to replace one window in standard siding types, but a window in stucco will likely take a bit longer because of the density of materials. Custom architectural windows usually require a longer replacement process because of the additional fitting and securing required.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain stucco?

• <div><p>To maintain stucco, inspect it annually for cracks and clean the surface with a mild detergent. Seal any cracks promptly to prevent water infiltration, and reseal or repaint as needed to preserve its appearance.</p></div>

Q: What happens if hidden damage is found during stucco removal?

• <div><p>If contractors discover water damage, rot, or mold beneath the stucco, additional repairs will be necessary. These repairs can increase your total project cost and timeline, but addressing them promptly is essential for your home&rsquo;s structural integrity. Ignoring hidden damage can lead to more severe issues and higher costs in the future.</p></div>
