Q: 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&rsquo;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&mdash;like water damage and mold&mdash;require removing and replacing sections of your stucco, or the entire thing.</p></div>

Q: How long should stucco dry before it rains?

• <div><p>You should aim to let stucco dry for at least 48 hours before it rains. While misting new stucco and keeping it moderately moist is important for strength and longevity, uncontrolled exposure to rain can lead to weak stucco that doesn&rsquo;t bond properly. Rain can also affect the stucco finish and the color unevenly, leaving you with less appealing siding.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a hammer drill for stucco?

• <div><p>A standard drill will work just fine if you&rsquo;re drilling small holes, and only a few of them. But anything with a diameter larger than 3/8 inch is best done with a hammer drill, since it is stronger, faster, and also makes your drill bits last longer. While you don&rsquo;t absolutely need a hammer drill for stucco, it is a worthy investment if you think you might drill more holes down the road.</p></div>

Q: Is stucco hard to DIY?

• <div><p>Stucco is very challenging to DIY, so it&rsquo;s always best to leave the work to professional stucco contractors. The same recommendation applies to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-paint-stucco-house.htm">painting a stucco house</a>, which should be left in the reliable hands of a professional exterior painter. Inexperienced DIYers can make several critical mistakes during stucco application, such as:</p><ul><li><p>Failing to apply sufficiently thick layers for longevity and water resistance</p></li><li><p>Uneven application</p></li><li><p>Uneven texture across the exterior</p></li><li><p>Mixing the stucco improperly, leaving a weak structure</p></li><li><p>Failing to texture properly in between coats, leading to cracking and chipping</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What are siding options with longer lifespans than vinyl siding?

• <div><p>While vinyl siding's lifespan of 20 to 40 years is impressive for the cost, other siding options can actually last much longer. Stucco siding can last 50 to 80 years when properly maintained and is only a bit more expensive than vinyl. Fiber cement is similar in that it&rsquo;s a little more expensive but lasts more than twice as long. Stone and brick last the longest, often more than 100 years, but they&rsquo;re the most expensive siding materials.</p></div>
