Q: Is stucco more affordable than vinyl siding?

• <div><p>No, stucco siding tends to be more expensive than vinyl siding. While the materials for stucco are less costly, the labor-intensive application process increases the total project budget. If you're comparing stucco versus vinyl siding based on cost alone, vinyl siding would be the winner there. In terms of longevity, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-stucco-last.htm">stucco lasts</a> for around 50 years, 10 to 30 years longer than vinyl siding, making it a better long-term investment.</p></div>

Q: How much does stucco installation cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $6 to $10 per square foot, depending on material type and project scope.</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: Should I choose traditional or synthetic stucco?

• <div><p>If you're installing stucco in a climate with extreme weather, synthetic stucco may be the only viable option, as it lasts longer, is less prone to cracking, and resists moisture better. Traditional stucco is a suitable option in hot climates where moisture and rainfall are less common, so it&rsquo;s a good option for affordability both up front and over time in these areas. </p></div>

Q: Is EIFS or stucco more expensive?

• <div><p>On average, EIFS costs more than traditional stucco, both due to its complex materials and tricky installation. You'll pay between <b>$7 and $9 per square foot</b> for traditional stucco installation and <b>$8 to $14 per square foot</b> for EIFS. Contact a local siding contractor to get an accurate estimate for EIFS or stucco installation based on your project specifications.</p></div>

Extremely well. The house I bought recently is almost 50 years old and in need of much repair. Gary did an excellent job with repair of wood trim, wrought iron trim and stucco as well as cleaning preparation and painting. It looks better than new.
