Is it possible to stucco over a wood frame house?
Question: We have a old wood frame house with 401 wood siding. Is it possible and financially viable to stucco this house? Is there an approximate cost per square foot? We are trying to explore other alternatives than continuous painting and wood repair. Submitted by KKP Answer: Yes, it is possible, and it is done more often than you would think. A conventional plaster application using metal lath mechanically fastened to the existing exterior and finished with a good acrylic cement finish is what is normally recommended. This would give your home an extremely durable and long lasting exterior product. The price will vary and depends on a number of factors, including, the elevation, how many windows/ doors, degree of difficulty, moldings, trims, cornices, etc.
