Understanding Residential Stucco Costs
 
 High-grade materials increase costs but offer durability and aesthetic appeal.
 
 Larger surface areas require more material and labor, affecting total expenses.
 
 Intricate designs or textured finishes can add to labor time and cost.
| Factor | Average Cost Range | 
|---|---|
| Basic Stucco Application | $6 - $9 per square foot | 
| Elaborate Textured Finishes | $9 - $15 per square foot | 
| Custom Colors and Finishes | $1,000 - $3,000 per project | 
| Surface Preparation | $2 - $5 per square foot |

Additional factors such as the type of stucco used—such as traditional cement, acrylic, or elastomeric—also influence costs. Cement-based stuccos are generally less expensive, while synthetic options may offer enhanced durability and flexibility at a higher price point. The geographic location and accessibility of the project site can further affect labor and material costs, making it important to consider regional pricing variations when planning a stucco project.
 
 Interior stucco applications vary in cost depending on texture and finish complexity.
 
 Decorative textures require additional labor and material costs.
 
 Adding color layers enhances appearance but increases overall expenses.
