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: 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>

Q: What are the main alternatives to aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Aluminum siding isn't the only type of siding material on the market for giving your home's exterior a makeover. Alternatives to aluminum siding include vinyl siding, wood siding, composite siding, and brick veneer siding. Each siding material comes with strengths and weaknesses that could influence your decision based on your particular circumstances, so it's important to look into each type as they pertain to your home and lifestyle before deciding.</p><p>A popular competitor to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/aluminum-vs-vinyl-siding.htm">aluminum siding is vinyl siding</a>, which has a similar price and is lower maintenance but comes with a shorter life span.</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: 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>
