My vinyl siding home is 20 years old and the siding is still in good condition, if a little faded. It has not been painted or coated in all that time. Stucco needs repainting every 10 years minimum, better 5 to 7 years.

Ask about the insulation R-factor in block and stucco exterior walls versus frame and siding walls. In 1998 the siding walls had better insulation.
