Hi all! Under offer on a home with stucco which is fairly rare in my area. We are expecting some significant stucco repairs and frankly, complete replacement?!?!? We want to know if that is feasible, is that a 10K project or a 100K project? We are having a stucco contractor head out but have no idea what to expect as this is our first stucco experience. Home is 100 years old. Happy to add more info! Thank you!
My research says that the gap between the concrete foundation and stucco siding has a gap intentionally for moisture to condense and drip away from the frame of the house. This is also an entry for pests. Is it not advised to use spray foam to seal off the gap between the concrete and stucco siding which would trap moisture?
Hi, desperate to find real examples of different stucco colors. Anyone have any pics of Omega Birch stucco ? Contractor needs me to pick and samples won't come for another week. Help!
Also, if you have an opinion about what I should stucco my retaining walls would love your input. See pic attached, its for the 2 retaining walls currently in grey scratch coat.
I should've done more research I may have screwed up I'm not sure. I painted my stucco yesterday which was 18 days after they plastered it. I used the primer and paint pictured. Found out afterwards it recommended to wait 30 days, do you think the paint will likely be ruined?
Looking for advice on needed repairs and cost for stucco of house. There is some window rot noted and a few boards that appear to be popping out around 2700 sq ft. Whats my worst case scenario
I have major plumbing done more than 5 ft under the house (main line replaced) and this is on the wall above where the construction was so I’m assuming it cracked due to the jackhammering. Do I need to urgently fix this or leave it be ?
I'm buying a Stucco house. I've never liked the look of stucco. The house is 100 years old. Its the old bumpy stucco...like tapioca pudding. I love old craftsman with wood siding. But instead of investing in removing stucco. I want to get into it. Fall in love with it. So...Stucco subreddit. Help me out. What do you love about stucco? Whats the best way to look at it? Old Cottage? Spanish Villa? Guide me!!! The house I'm buying, as it turns out, is an old craftsman with original stucco on the entire house.
Had a wooden design with a ledge to hold plants on removed and put stucco. This is the first coat and it's cracked. Guy did tell me it's about 1 " thick coat and will be fine when the finish texture coat is applied
Is this ok? TIA

Hello. Looking for any information on making this detail around the door. Ive found a few youtube videos were they fasten dense foam to create the trim shape. Then fiber mesh and complete the stucco. Please advise. I have done stucco repair just want to ensure Im following best practice.
Potential Water Intrusion Behind Stucco - there are several cracks that appear to have water stains bleeding through
them. This suggests that water is getting behind the stucco. I recommend having this investigated by a professional for more
information.
Stucco Cracks - there are numerous minor hairline cracks as shown (examples). These are not uncommon and do not appear to be a major
concern. This is simply an FYI and no action is required at this time.
