I find these homes all the time, rip the siding off and stucco the home.I do also agree that the most important factor is the curb appeal which would mean changing the old wood frame or metal frame windows, in doing so, you will have to stucco the home anyways unless you use retrofit pop-ins which I do not recommend, and all the other things mentioned - landscaping, nice looking color combinations, etc.So, is stucco convenient?
