Frequently Asked Questions
How much does stucco application cost in Ottawa?
Stucco application in Ottawa typically costs $8 to $14 per square foot for a standard three-coat system, depending on wall condition, accessibility, and finish texture. One-coat synthetic systems cost $6 to $10 per square foot. Parging runs $5 to $10 per square foot. Older homes often need additional prep work. EIFS systems cost $12 to $20 per square foot but offer superior insulation.
What type of stucco finish is best for Ottawa homes?
Traditional Portland cement stucco with a dash or lace texture is the most popular choice for Ottawa due to its durability and freeze-thaw resistance. Acrylic-modified stucco provides better flexibility and crack resistance for Ottawa's temperature extremes. Smooth finishes look modern but show imperfections more readily. Always choose a system rated for Canadian winters with proper moisture barriers and control joints.
How long does a stucco project take?
A standard whole-house stucco application takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on size, weather, and prep needed. Each coat needs curing time. Repair jobs usually take 1 to 3 days. Parging a foundation takes 1 to 2 days. Ottawa's stucco season runs from late April through October as temperatures must stay above 5 degrees Celsius during application and curing.
Can stucco be applied over existing siding?
Stucco can sometimes be applied over existing surfaces, but it depends on the substrate. Vinyl or aluminum siding must be removed first. Stucco can go over concrete block, poured concrete, brick, and properly prepared wood sheathing with lath. Existing stucco in good condition can sometimes receive a new finish coat. A professional stucco contractor can assess whether your existing exterior is suitable.
