Q: Is stucco hard to DIY?

• <div><p>Stucco is very challenging to DIY, so it&rsquo;s always best to leave the work to professional stucco contractors. The same recommendation applies to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-paint-stucco-house.htm">painting a stucco house</a>, which should be left in the reliable hands of a professional exterior painter. Inexperienced DIYers can make several critical mistakes during stucco application, such as:</p><ul><li><p>Failing to apply sufficiently thick layers for longevity and water resistance</p></li><li><p>Uneven application</p></li><li><p>Uneven texture across the exterior</p></li><li><p>Mixing the stucco improperly, leaving a weak structure</p></li><li><p>Failing to texture properly in between coats, leading to cracking and chipping</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to stucco a house?

• <div><p>Late fall is generally the best time of year for installing stucco siding. We don&rsquo;t recommend hiring a stucco pro to apply this feature when the temperatures are below freezing, so it&rsquo;s best to avoid applying stucco siding to your home during the winter. However, it&rsquo;s safe to apply in hot and colder temperatures, so any other time of year is suitable. The spring and summer are the busiest times of year for stucco siding professionals, so you could save money by doing the work in the off-season: the late fall.</p></div>

Q: Which additional home improvement tasks can I undertake simultaneously with new siding installation?

• <div><p>While you&rsquo;re having new siding installed, it&rsquo;s a good time to evaluate what else your home may need. Apply a fresh coat of paint before you add new siding. Gutter maintenance is also a popular choice for people installing board and batten siding. Combining related outdoor tasks can save on labor costs by bundling services and hourly rates.</p></div>

Q: How long does German schmear last?

• <div><p>German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance. This makes it an economical option compared to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost of painting your house exterior</a>, which usually needs to be repainted every five to 10 years to keep it looking its best&mdash;thus costing more over the same time period.</p></div>

Q: What is the most popular stucco color?

• <div><p>Neutral colors like white, tan, beige, and light brown are the most popular stucco colors. Natural stucco has a grayish color due to the high concentration of Portland cement in the material, but most homeowners have their contractors add pigments to create a more inviting appearance. Stucco is most popular in hotter climates, where it provides ample insulation to regulate interior temperatures and keep the solar heat out. Since lighter colors reflect more sunlight, lighter stucco is more prevalent.</p></div>
