How much do the materials cost to stucco per square foot for sand and portland type stucco?
There are a wide variety of 'stucco' products on the market. The "Tried and True" method of installing the lath (metal screen to reinforce the coating); the 'brown coat'; and then the finish coat, create a great number of variables.
If the application is done with the least expensive materials possible, a 1" thick stucco will cost between .50 and 1.50 dollars per square foot for materials; however, this method will have long term maintenance cost due to severe 'cracking' in virtually any climate. The labor cost of installing will be from $4 per square foot to $15 per square foot, dependent upon the quality of the provider/installer, and the materials selected.
Synthetic stucco coatings run approximately $1.80 per square foot as of mid 2012 nationwide average... for the top coat only.
Stucco is a very viable, durable and long lasting finish for both residential and commercial construction; however, as with all things ~you get what you pay for... but, don't assume that because the cost is "cheap" so will be the end product; nor does the quoted price being expensive reflect a quality end product.
Do the research; educate yourself; then choose the materials, and more importantly, carefully select your contractor.
From having installed thousands of square feet of stucco, I can assure that the capable DIY installer, if haven taken the time to familiarize with the products available; shopping around; and practicing on perhaps the interior of your garage... can install a quality stucco exterior, comprised of 1" space 'chicken wire' as lath; a quality portland and screened sand (use #4 sandblasting sand; consistent in size, and comes in 100 lb bags); mixed in a 2 parts sand to 1 part dry portand (white is preferable, thus giving ease of coverage with a quality topper); followed by a synthetic top coat which 'breaths', can be done for around 1.50 to 2.50 per square foot (not counting your time)...
Use $2.50 per square foot as a base for materials, and you'll be able to determine the amount the contractor is considering as 'cost' ~the rest is labor.
Hope this helps you... Stucco application is an "art" which looks much easier that it is... but it's worth the time to learn and the end product is beautiful, long lasting, and if properly done, far stronger than brick veneer, as it becomes an integral structural component of the wall; providing addition strength, and long lasting aesthetic appeal, with the versatility of color change, if the need arises, through the re-coat of the 'top-coat', available in a plethora of colors, custom mixed to the designer or owners desire.
This is based on cost of materials available to the consumer, during the fall of 2012, in the Southwestern US ~and may vary widely dependent upon availability, local and UBC codes, homeowner association guidelines; as well as countless other variables.
Good luck to all future stucco enthusiasts! It's an ancient finish that keeps on working ~that says a lot.
