Q: What size drill bit should I use for stucco?

• <div><p>You can use small bits that are up to 3/8 inch in diameter, or larger bits that are 1/2 inch or more in diameter. Make sure the bits you use are coated with carbide or diamond; this information is usually visible on the package. You can also use hole saw bits to drill into stucco.</p></div>

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 much does stucco installation cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $6 to $10 per square foot, depending on material type and project scope.</p></div>

Q: What’s the easiest way to remove stucco?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove stucco is to use a circular saw with a diamond blade to cut small squares out, pry them off, and then cut the metal lath behind it with tin snips. It&rsquo;s possible to do everything with a hammer and a crowbar, but it will take significantly longer and will wear you out more quickly. Plus, you&rsquo;ll have a higher risk of damaging windows, hidden siding, and sheathing if you go the less precise route.</p></div>

"He finished the roof but did not tell me about the error in his workmanship. He did not finish the whole work. Update 12/22/2021: He finished the roof and said he fixed the problem, he showed me how he was to complete the repairs and after it was complete the work was not done in the manner he said he would do it. A new problem was noticed with the shingles and they are overhanging on a peak of the roof and are not attached and will blow off with high winds. The second part of the job, to put two sides on the shed was not done properly, he is charging me to come out to fix it, which is ridiculous, that is why contractors put that in their estimates. He was going to come out on a Saturday but change to Friday since it was going to rain on Saturday, when he called me and by the time he arrived on the job site it would be dark, I told him I did not want him to work in the dark with a flashlight. he keeps giving me excuses on why he cannot come out on certain days for personal reasons. The job should have been completed in October, except for his constant excuses for not being able to come out. If the problems are not resolved by the end of the year I will escalate this by other means."

"I couldn?t be happier with https://ajwindowhaus.com/. Here?s the thing?I did a lot of research and compared sliding glass doors from all the big box stores. When it came to quality, glass thickness, hurricane rating, and cost, AJ Window Haus stood out by far. I went with a 3-panel slider, and the difference is night and day. The doors glide effortlessly?I can literally move all three panels using just my pinky. The craftsmanship is top-tier and truly speaks for itself. My only regret? Not having Alex?s team install it. I thought my contractor could handle it, but the installation was clearly more complex than expected. I was on edge the entire time. If you're considering a door from AJ, I strongly recommend using their installation team?they know their product inside and out. The door has become a centerpiece in my home, and every time I see it, I?m reminded I made the right choice. No regrets whatsoever?this is not the kind of flimsy product you find at the big box stores. This is"

Stucco questions, answered by experts

Stucco is very challenging to DIY, so it’s always best to leave the work to professional stucco contractors. The same recommendation applies to painting a stucco house, 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:

Failing to apply sufficiently thick layers for longevity and water resistance
Uneven application
Uneven texture across the exterior
Mixing the stucco improperly, leaving a weak structure
Failing to texture properly in between coats, leading to cracking and chipping

You can use small bits that are up to 3/8 inch in diameter, or larger bits that are 1/2 inch or more in diameter. Make sure the bits you use are coated with carbide or diamond; this information is usually visible on the package. You can also use hole saw bits to drill into stucco.

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.

Costs range from $6 to $10 per square foot, depending on material type and project scope.

The easiest way to remove stucco is to use a circular saw with a diamond blade to cut small squares out, pry them off, and then cut the metal lath behind it with tin snips. It’s possible to do everything with a hammer and a crowbar, but it will take significantly longer and will wear you out more quickly.
