How much does it cost to stucco?
On wood framing, three-coat plaster is typically installed over metal lath to a 7/8 in. nominal thickness. A typical plaster mixture weighs about 142 pounds per cubic foot, roughly the same as mortar, and this amount of material would cover about 13.7 sq ft at 7/8 in. thick. The metal lath may add a small additional amount of weight, so the end result is that three-coat stucco weighs about 10.4 lbs per sq ft (psf) installed.
