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>

Q: What is the life expectancy of stucco?

• <div><p>One <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stucco-pros-and-cons.htm">upside to stucco siding</a> is that it can last for 50 to 80 years, and it&rsquo;s reasonably low maintenance during that lifespan. However, you&rsquo;ll need routine maintenance to keep it looking its best, as it will crack and chip as it ages. If you live in an area that sees heavier rainfall, sealing your stucco siding every five to 10 years may be necessary.</p></div>

Q: How long should stucco dry before painting?

• <div><p>Stucco will dry in two to three days, but you should wait one to two months to allow it to cure fully before you paint it. The curing process is slow, but leaving the material exposed to air and natural moisture will help it reach its maximum strength. If you live in a hot, arid climate, wait a month before painting. Wait two months before painting if you live in a more moderate or wet climate.</p></div>

Q: How much does stucco siding cost?

• <div><p>On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-stucco-siding.htm#how-to-save-money">cost of stucco siding</a> is $5,600, and most homeowners pay between $2,200 and $9,100. Stucco prices depend on several factors, including labor and materials, the size and complexity of your home, your desired color and finish, and the popularity of stucco in your area. Ways to save money on your stucco installation include removing the old siding yourself and planning your installation during the off-season months.</p></div>

Q: How long does stucco take to cure?

• <div><p>The curing time for stucco typically takes several weeks to fully complete. During the curing process, the stucco undergoes a chemical reaction and gradually hardens. It's important to note that curing is different from drying. While the surface of the stucco may dry relatively quickly within a few hours or days, the curing process continues beneath the surface, strengthening and solidifying the stucco. </p><p>It's best to avoid excessive moisture exposure during the curing period, as it can impede the curing process. The exact curing time can vary based on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific stucco mixture used.</p></div>
