Stucco , when properly installed, offers an almost maintenance-free exterior with unlimited design options, making it a popular choice for many homeowners. It does, however, require sealing in many climates to prevent water absorption that might freeze and expand causing cracks, scaling, and leaks. And there are some homes that are not suited to a stucco exterior. Is it right for you?
Is stucco right for your home?
- Conventional stucco is a time-tested product that has been around for centuries. It is impact resistant, fire resistant, impervious to termites and rot, and gets harder and more durable over time.
- Be aware, though, that not every home is right for stucco, so an inspection and consultation is necessary with each homeowner to determine their wants and needs, and the possibility of residing with stucco.
- In most cases stucco can be installed over your existing siding, or the siding can be removed and the stucco installed over the sub-wall.
- Stucco makes a good home exterior choice because it is comparably priced to high-end siding, while being a much more durable product.
