Q: Is it cheaper to build a pizza oven?

• <div><p>Whether or not it&rsquo;s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don&rsquo;t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up&mdash;between just <b>$300 and $1,000</b> for the best versions.</p></div>

Q: Does new stucco increase home value?

• <div><p>Fresh stucco on your home can boost your home&rsquo;s value. Stucco is versatile, fire-resistant, and very durable. Even though having stucco replaced is a big undertaking, it&rsquo;s cheaper to remove and replace than other materials such as wood or vinyl. If you are preparing to sell your home, buyers would love to know that the home they are purchasing has new stucco that will easily last 50 or more years. </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 size drill bit should I use for stucco?

• <div><p>You can use small bits that are up to 3/8 inch in diameter, or larger bits that are 1/2 inch or more in diameter. Make sure the bits you use are coated with carbide or diamond; this information is usually visible on the package. You can also use hole saw bits to drill into stucco.</p></div>

Q: Is stucco considered siding or cladding?

• <div><p>Stucco is considered a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cladding-types.htm">type of cladding</a> because it includes a built-in ventilation layer, a weatherproof membrane beneath that, and, often, a layer of insulation to improve building efficiency. The multiple layers of stucco&mdash;the scratch coat, the brown coat, and the finish coat&mdash;also create a more complex building membrane, so it&rsquo;s more accurate to call it cladding. However, homeowners and contractors alike refer to stucco as siding.</p></div>
