Stuccoing a 2,000-square-foot house typically costs between $12,000 and $30,000, though the final price depends heavily on the type of stucco system, the home’s shape, and labor rates in your area. Traditional three-coat stucco tends to cost more than synthetic or one-coat systems due to the added labor and material layers.
Factors that affect the total cost:
- Type of stucco system (traditional vs. synthetic)
- Complexity of the home’s shape, including corners, windows, and architectural details
- Whether old siding or stucco needs to be removed first
- Prep work, including repairing the underlying wall sheathing or moisture barrier
- Local labor costs and material pricing
Homes with simpler, boxier designs generally fall on the lower end of the price range, while homes with lots of angles, dormers, or decorative trim cost more due to added labor time.
Since pricing varies significantly based on your home’s size and design, the most reliable way to budget for a full stucco job is to get a detailed quote from a local contractor after an in-person assessment.
