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: What type of exterior paint finish is best for stucco?

• <div><p>The best exterior paint finish for stucco is a flat or low-gloss finish. A high-gloss finish will show imperfections in the stucco and give it a candy-coated look that many homeowners don&rsquo;t like. The best types of exterior paint to use on stucco are acrylic, masonry, and elastomeric. However, acrylic is recommended because it is both durable and breathable.</p></div>

Q: What is the expected duration for applying traditional stucco?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on the area size and drying time between layers.</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>

Q: How do project specifics influence the expense of installing traditional stucco?

• <div><p>Costs depend on project size, material quality, and additional services like color matching or texture customization.</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...
