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: 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.

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 it take to stucco a house?

• <div><p>Due to application and cure times between coats, stuccoing a house takes between 10 and 14 days.

Q: Should I repair or replace my stucco?

• <div><p>The decision to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/repair-vs-replace-stucco.htm">repair or replace stucco</a> depends on the extent of the damage. If the culprit is dirt, stains, or small cracks, your stucco will benefit from a deep clean, quick repair, and possibly a paint job. If you notice large cracks or peeling, it&rsquo;s time to call a professional to fix your stucco. They can guide you in deciding whether your issue is simple enough to repair or whether severe problems&mdash;like water damage and mold&mdash;require removing and replacing sections of your stucco, or the entire thing.</p></div>
