Stucco and stone siding are some of the most expensive types of siding consumers can choose from. According to Cal Finder, stone siding can cost anywhere between $15 and $30 per sq. ft. Stucco siding can cost between $4 and $9 per sq. ft.
Both types of siding can prove exceedingly difficult to install. For this reason, only professional masons should attempt a project that involves installing stone or stucco siding. Unfortunately, a large part of the cost behind stone and stucco siding goes into the professional installation.
Stucco and stone siding will incur little in the way of maintenance costs throughout the years. Both stucco and stone are durable materials but can be very expensive to repair if they are damaged. Repairing stucco and stone siding requires the same skilled labor as it does to install the siding.
