Q: What are the pros and cons of stucco over brick?

• <div><p>Installing stucco over brick can add longevity and durability to your siding while protecting it from deterioration due to exposure to the elements. However, stucco over brick does have a few downsides. You&rsquo;ll spend more time and money on maintenance and repairs, and your siding may be more susceptible to cracking.</p></div>

Q: How do project specifics influence the expense of installing traditional stucco?

• <div><p>Costs depend on project size, material quality, and additional services like color matching or texture customization.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to remove stucco siding?

• <div><p>In many areas, a permit is required to remove stucco siding, especially if structural repairs or new siding installation are involved. Check with your local building department for specific requirements and associated permit fees before starting your project. Permit fees range from $100 to $500.</p></div>

Q: Can you stucco over brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-stucco-over-brick.htm">apply stucco directly over brick</a>, and the rough texture of the brick should be enough for the stucco to adhere to, even without a binding agent. Just be sure to clean the brick thoroughly before stuccoing, and allow 72 hours for the first coat of stucco to dry, even if it feels dry to the touch. The thicker portions that fill in the mortar joints will cure more slowly than the thinner portions over the brick faces. </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>
