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: 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: How long does stucco take to cure?

• <div><p>The curing time for stucco typically takes several weeks to fully complete. During the curing process, the stucco undergoes a chemical reaction and gradually hardens. It's important to note that curing is different from drying. While the surface of the stucco may dry relatively quickly within a few hours or days, the curing process continues beneath the surface, strengthening and solidifying the stucco. </p><p>It's best to avoid excessive moisture exposure during the curing period, as it can impede the curing process. The exact curing time can vary based on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific stucco mixture used.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to stucco a house?

• <div><p>Due to application and cure times between coats, stuccoing a house takes between 10 and 14 days. Professionals may be able to wrap up projects on smaller homes in 7 to 10 days, while stuccoing large, multi-level homes can take more than two weeks. For the standard three-coat stucco system, six days are dedicated solely to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-stucco-takes-to-dry.htm">stucco drying timelines</a>, which are necessary after each coat.</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>

Greg was wonderful and did a good job. (There's still a minor problem, but he wasn't the cause.) He, however, was expensive. But you get what you pay for. He graciously wrote up an invoice for me when it appeared the moving company was going to pay for the repairs. A very happy ending.
