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: 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>

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>

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: Can I live in my home during the stucco removal process?

• <div><p>Most homeowners can remain in their homes during stucco removal, but expect noise, dust, and limited access to certain areas. For extensive projects or if hazardous materials are present, temporary relocation may be recommended for safety and comfort. Before removal begins, seal off the work areas and use air purifiers to minimize the spread of dust.</p></div>
