Q: Can stucco be installed over existing siding?

• <div><p>Yes, stucco can be installed over existing siding, but some contractors wouldn&rsquo;t recommend it. Putting stucco over other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-different-house-siding.htm">types of siding</a> requires careful consideration and proper preparation. Stucco is regularly added over brick and wood siding; however, some of the biggest factors affecting stucco installation include the condition of the existing siding and whether it&rsquo;s strong enough to hold the weight of the stucco. If stucco is added to another type of siding, the weight can cause it to crack, making it susceptible to moisture, water damage, and mold.</p></div>

Q: Can you stucco over brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-stucco-over-brick.htm">apply stucco directly over brick</a>, and the rough texture of the brick should be enough for the stucco to adhere to, even without a binding agent. Just be sure to clean the brick thoroughly before stuccoing, and allow 72 hours for the first coat of stucco to dry, even if it feels dry to the touch. The thicker portions that fill in the mortar joints will cure more slowly than the thinner portions over the brick faces. </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: Should I choose traditional or synthetic stucco?

• <div><p>If you're installing stucco in a climate with extreme weather, synthetic stucco may be the only viable option, as it lasts longer, is less prone to cracking, and resists moisture better. Traditional stucco is a suitable option in hot climates where moisture and rainfall are less common, so it&rsquo;s a good option for affordability both up front and over time in these areas. </p></div>

Q: How long does house cladding last?

• <div><p>The durability and overall longevity of house cladding varies by the material, but the average lifespan is between <b>15 to 25 years</b>. Metal cladding is generally the most durable and long-lasting, with a life expectancy of up to 100 years. Environmental factors such as climate, humidity, moisture, and UV exposure can all play into how long cladding lasts. </p></div>
