This is completely untrue. I am a contractor not a homeowner who knows
nothing. Your house is 50 years old and the stucco is old. There could be many
reasons as to why your stucco is bubbling. The most obvious of which is the
fact that water got in your stucco. Chances are only a scratch coat was
applied to your building and it is now becoming old and needs to be scraped
really well and a new coat of Stucco needs to be applied. If stucco needed to
breathe then commercial painters would never apply a Sheen to stucco which
they do all the time and no problems occur. The reality is that stucco is not
supposed to be painted.

Tell that to millions+ of home owners that have painted stucco. Being
a contractor maybe you should learn about elastomeric paint.


But 8 years since the original post, the homeowner had aluminum siding
installed.

Something I very rarely do is answer the phone unless I'm expecting a
call. The caller wanted to sell me faux red brick siding (veneer).

"Sir, if I put that stuff over my stucco, my neighbors would have a
fit."

Aluminum siding would be to hot, here in the Mojave desert. :-)

Everyone here knows you're a hot guy already. No reason to overheat.
