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: Can stucco be installed over existing siding?

• <div><p>Yes, stucco can be installed over existing siding, but some contractors wouldn&rsquo;t recommend it. Putting stucco over other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-different-house-siding.htm">types of siding</a> requires careful consideration and proper preparation. Stucco is regularly added over brick and wood siding; however, some of the biggest factors affecting stucco installation include the condition of the existing siding and whether it&rsquo;s strong enough to hold the weight of the stucco. If stucco is added to another type of siding, the weight can cause it to crack, making it susceptible to moisture, water damage, and mold.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of stucco?

• <div><p>Stucco is durable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for exterior finishes.</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: 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>

Cesar & Nora showed up when the promised, on-time and provided an estimate. The cost was reasonable so we hired them to complete the work. They matched the pigment in the stucco and then complete the job. The work was stellar. Hire them? You will not be sorry!

Andrew Clark was the craftsman. They were always punctual and polite. They were great at the electrical work (with the exception of putting an outlet somewhere where it ended up being covered by a cabinet - We probably should have both been more communicative in terms of our kitchen design)....
