I am renovating a Katrina flooded home I purchased. It currently has siding on the second story and we want to remove the siding and install stucco. I have heard that I need to be careful with different types of stucco. Could someone explain the best, most affordable type of stucco that I should use. I have been told that EIFS is not good and that I should not go with traditional stucco either which is too heavy. But I am confused as to other types of stucco, like "DEFS" or "System" or "conventional" Can someone give me some input? Thank you! :o)
Answers:
I think you're asking for trouble. Try a different type of siding, not stucco. Some brands and types that are supposed to breathe, are found not to after several years. Even if it's a so called good brand, if it's not installed exactly right you'll get tremendous mold on and in your walls. This is a risky product, especially in your climate. You will be using it under extreme conditions of dampness, testing its limits. Sort of like buying a car tested in Michigan and expecting it to start every morning in the arctic.
