Should I repair or replace my stucco?

• <div><p>The decision to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/repair-vs-replace-stucco.htm">repair or replace stucco</a> depends on the extent of the damage. If the culprit is dirt, stains, or small cracks, your stucco will benefit from a deep clean, quick repair, and possibly a paint job. If you notice large cracks or peeling, it’s time to call a professional to fix your stucco. They can guide you in deciding whether your issue is simple enough to repair or whether severe problems—like water damage and mold—require removing and replacing sections of your stucco, or the entire thing.</p></div>

Q: How long does stucco over brick last?

Stucco&rsquo;s lifespan can be shortened by improper application, incorrectly mixed material, lack of preparation before application, and lack of maintenance. To get the most life out of your stucco siding, keep up with maintenance and repair any damage as soon as you discover it. </p></div>

Q: What is the expected duration for applying traditional stucco?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on the area size and drying time between layers.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to stucco a house?

• <div><p>Due to application and cure times between coats, stuccoing a house takes between 10 and 14 days. Professionals may be able to wrap up projects on smaller homes in 7 to 10 days, while stuccoing large, multi-level homes can take more than two weeks. For the standard three-coat stucco system, six days are dedicated solely to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-stucco-takes-to-dry.htm">stucco drying timelines</a>, which are necessary after each coat.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between stucco and mortar?

• <div><p>Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.</p></div>

David sent the crew over in the morning to cut out the stucco and they re-tarred it and put stucco on it. The job was done well and the roof doesn't leak anymore. They were professional, courteous, cleaned up the mess and their prices are reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone.
