So you don't have hundreds of seams like block.

I've been in many homes installing filters and I see block wall with seams/cracking etc. If it's inside I assume it's outside.

When those cracks aren't repaired timely water damage and maybe pathways fro termites to roof????

If I were going concrete I look to poured.

You know in time the stucco will need to be repainted, not sure how many years.

By the way painters charge here I guess 3-5,000 dollars
I agree with this post. Have lived in poured Villa for 6 years- no maintenance costs (yet).
