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 you notice large cracks or peeling, it’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—like water damage and mold—require removing and replacing sections of your stucco, or the entire thing.</p></div>

Q: Which exterior renovation adds the most value to a house?

• <div><p>There are two ways to determine which renovation will add the most value to a house. One is based on money alone, and the other is based on the percentage of money spent versus money earned when selling the home. While these values vary, the best projects to add value based on percentages are exterior painting, replacing doors and windows, replacing the garage door, roofing replacement, and upgrading the siding.</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 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>

Q: Does stucco increase home value?

• <div><p>Much like any new siding, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-stucco-increase-home-value.htm">stucco will increase home value</a> and curb appeal. Stucco provides an average ROI of 70%. With the average cost to stucco a house sitting at $5,700, you can expect to see a value bump of close to $4,000. Opting for a high-end stucco texture can improve value even further. </p></div>
