Q: Is stucco more affordable than vinyl siding?

• <div><p>No, stucco siding tends to be more expensive than vinyl siding. While the materials for stucco are less costly, the labor-intensive application process increases the total project budget. If you're comparing stucco versus vinyl siding based on cost alone, vinyl siding would be the winner there. In terms of longevity, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-stucco-last.htm">stucco lasts</a> for around 50 years, 10 to 30 years longer than vinyl siding, making it a better long-term investment.</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: 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: What is the difference between stucco and mortar?

• <div><p>Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.</p></div>

Q: How to apply stucco to wood?

• <div><p>You can apply stucco to wood by wrapping it with grade D waterproof paper, installing trim accessories such as metal lath, control joints, weep screeds, casing beads, and expansion joints, and applying the stucco in three layers. You&rsquo;ll need a scratch coat, brown coat, and finish coat, all applied with a trowel and screeded with a darby or straight edge. Each should cure for two days before you apply the next one.</p></div>
