Q: Is stucco more affordable than vinyl siding?

• <div><p>No, stucco siding tends to be more expensive than vinyl siding. While the materials for stucco are less costly, the labor-intensive application process increases the total project budget. If you're comparing stucco versus vinyl siding based on cost alone, vinyl siding would be the winner there. In terms of longevity, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-stucco-last.htm">stucco lasts</a> for around 50 years, 10 to 30 years longer than vinyl siding, making it a better long-term investment.</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: Can you do stucco yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can apply the stucco yourself, but it is a time- and labor-intensive project, especially on the exterior of a whole house. DIY stucco is better suited for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stucco-siding-repair-tips.htm">repairing stucco siding</a> or siding a smaller building, such as a shed or garage. Since most of the cost of stucco siding goes to labor, you can cut down significantly on the total if you&rsquo;re up for the challenge.</p></div>

Q: What makes the Mediterranean style unique?

• <div><p>The Mediterranean style is unique in that it&rsquo;s designed for homes in hotter climates and to maintain a connection with nature. The building materials include stucco siding, clay roofs, and interior tiling with tall ceilings and open floor plans. These all come together to keep the interior cool. The building materials are all natural and tend to have muted earth tones, and the architecture typically allows for easy, open access to the outdoors through large windows and arched doorways. The decor and architecture can range from simple and functional to opulent, depending on the type of Mediterranean home it is.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between stucco repair and stucco remediation?

• <div><p>Stucco repair can best be described as a patch. It involves identifying the problem and fixing that specific damage with additional stucco. If no mold infiltration or an underlying leak is causing the damage, repair is most likely all you need. </p><p>Remediation, on the other hand, involves removing the existing siding, fixing the underlying cause of the damage, and then reapplying stucco siding for that wall. It&rsquo;s a more permanent fix that takes longer to complete and, hence, comes with a steeper price tag than repair.</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.

They tried hard but it wasn't highly successful. They claimed people would come from a long distance for the sale but in fact there were only local people, and since this company did not have a following in my area they did not attract the higher end buyers. They claimed it was the fault...
