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 long does stucco last?

• <div><p>If it is applied properly, stucco is a durable material that can last between 50 and 80 years, especially with regular repair and maintenance. Things like painting the stucco every 10 years or so will help it last longer. The location of your home plays a big part in the life span of your stucco, too.</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>

"I wanted to take this opportunity to write a review for Mighty Dog Roofing. We called Mighty Dog Roofing as the inspection was free. Once we set the time and date the inspector called to let us know he was on his way and was on time. When he came out, he explained what he was going to do as part of the inspection. After inspecting the roof, he asked to go into the attic to complete his evaluation. Once he was done, he took his time to explain what he found and provided us with picture so we could make an informed decision. We talked through the different options. We then made the decision to go with Mighty Dog Roofing. He explained the next steps. The process went quickly for us. They came out on a Monday and started work on Thursday of the same week. What stands out to us is that we were kept informed every step of the way. In our case we had to do a full roof replacement. The crew that worked on our roof were very polite and professional. We also like that there was an onsit"
