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: What are siding options with longer lifespans than vinyl siding?

• <div><p>While vinyl siding's lifespan of 20 to 40 years is impressive for the cost, other siding options can actually last much longer. Stucco siding can last 50 to 80 years when properly maintained and is only a bit more expensive than vinyl. Fiber cement is similar in that it&rsquo;s a little more expensive but lasts more than twice as long. Stone and brick last the longest, often more than 100 years, but they&rsquo;re the most expensive siding materials.</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: Can you do stucco yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can apply the stucco yourself, but it is a time- and labor-intensive project, especially on the exterior of a whole house. DIY stucco is better suited for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stucco-siding-repair-tips.htm">repairing stucco siding</a> or siding a smaller building, such as a shed or garage. Since most of the cost of stucco siding goes to labor, you can cut down significantly on the total if you&rsquo;re up for the challenge.</p></div>

Q: Who does stucco for homes?

• <div><p>Many general contractors can handle adding stucco siding, but it&rsquo;s best to hire a local stucco contractor as you&rsquo;re more likely to get a clean finish on your stucco siding that maximizes curb appeal. Stucco can be a challenging material to work with, so hiring a professional contractor who has years of experience and specializes in stucco application is advisable. Compare price quotes from at least three stucco contractors in your area to find the right pro for your task.</p></div>

Initially they seem enthusiastic and professional but that impression quickly faded. The one week estimate stretched to over two weeks. The worst was that hairline cracks were made to look terrible with built up stripes of spackle slapped onto textured stucco! It took several requests and tries...
