Understanding the Cost of Stucco Installations
Larger surfaces require more materials and labor, increasing the overall cost.
The choice between traditional and synthetic stucco affects pricing due to material differences.
Accessibility and existing surface conditions can influence installation complexity and cost.
| Factor | Average Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Stucco (per sq ft) | $6 - $9 |
| Synthetic Stucco (per sq ft) | $8 - $12 |
| Labor Costs (per hour) | $50 - $75 |
| Surface Preparation | $1 - $3 per sq ft |
| Removal of Old Stucco | $2 - $5 per sq ft |
| Color and Finish | $1 - $4 per sq ft |
| Complex Architectural Details | Additional charges apply |
| Site Accessibility | May increase labor costs |
Material choices, such as traditional versus synthetic stucco, also significantly impact the budget. Traditional stucco generally offers a durable finish with moderate costs, whereas synthetic options may carry higher material expenses but can provide quicker application times and different aesthetic options. Consulting with a professional can help determine the best approach for specific project needs and budget considerations.
Interior stucco applications typically have different cost considerations, often lower than exterior projects due to reduced exposure and complexity.
Custom colors and textured finishes can increase costs depending on complexity and materials used.
Necessary permits and inspections may add to the overall project cost depending on local regulations.
