| Hi
We live in NJ and are currently framing our new construction. Our plans call for stucco (many houses in the area with stucco siding). Framing and roof sb done in another 2 weeks. My question is ... is it realistic to expect them to be able to put up the stucco in the mid-fall? Is it impacted by weather, temperature? Any info would be appreciated, thanks! Dave |

| Best conditions for stucco are damp/humid (not wet), overcast days with temperatures in the 60s. If it's dry, hot and sunny, it'll lose moisture and won't cure properly and crack a lot. If it's rainy while the stucco is still soft, it'll ruin the finish (but if it's rainy after a few hours of placement, it's beneficial because it helps curing). If it's freezing, it won't cure and may never cure. |
