Hey all! Looks like we are likely moving to NorCal where there are a ton of stucco houses. I am from New England and thus know NOTHING about stucco. We are looking to buy but I was wondering if anyone has tips or warnings about stucco? I know to stay away from synthetic stucco-but that''s all I know.
For example...do people paint stucco?
And is it impossible to add windows or add on to a stucco house without major reconstruction?
This will be our first home and thus we are looking on the lower end of the price spectrum with the idea to upgrade the house over the next few years. MANY of the houses our realtor has selected for us are stucco. I have noticed many of these houses have hardly any windows...and no light is a dealbreaker for me. But I was wondering if it was possible and economical to add windows to a stucco house or not...
Any info is greatly appreciated!!!
