Does stucco cracks
Florin www.artisticstucco.com asks:
real stucco vs synthetic stucco

after I read the difference between stucco and brick I have to mention that moisture problems are in the case of synthetic stucco (fake stucco). The traditional stucco is proven to be reliable and also, if a final coat of mesh and primer is applied, it will not crack and it will last forever.

Answer from Tommy:
We can agree that traditional stucco is a good product. I am not so sure about saying it will not crack. I have always found it safer to explain to my clients that it is natural for stucco (concrete to develope some minor cracks. If you don't want cracks to develop (sometimes in my designing I do) we take all available precautions.
