Based on the dimensions provided and a total estimated surface area PER SIGN of approximately 113 to 120 square feet, here is a breakdown of the material costs for a stucco renovation.

Surface Area Calculation

• Middle Section (65 sq. ft.): Front ($26\text{ sq. ft.}$), Back ($26\text{ sq. ft.}$), and Top ($13\text{ sq. ft.}$).

• End Caps / Pillars (48 sq. ft.): Two pillars, each with three visible full sides, the top, and the small portion of the interior side above the middle wall.

• Total Estimated Area: $\approx 113\text{ sq. ft.}$ (plus 10% for waste = $125\text{ sq. ft.}$).

Estimated Material Cost (DIY)

If you are purchasing the materials yourself at a local home improvement store, expect the following costs:

Item	Description	Estimated Quantity	Estimated Cost
Bonding Agent	Required to help the new stucco adhere to the old brick.	1 Gallon	$\$20-\$40$
Base Coat	Scratch & Brown coat (e.g., Quikrete Stucco Mix).	7 – 8 bags ($80\text{lb}$)	$\$105-\$140$
Finish Coat	Textured finish coat (Gray or White).	1 – 2 bags ($80\text{lb}$)	$\$30-\$60$
Fiberglass Mesh	For durability and to prevent cracking over the brick.	1 Roll/Bundle	$\$40-\$75$
Paint & Sealer	Masonry-grade exterior paint and primer.	1 – 2 Gallons	$\$50-\$100$
Total DIY Materials			$\$245-\$415$

Professional Installation Estimate

If you choose to hire a professional, the cost typically includes labor and materials.

• Stuccoing over Brick: Generally costs between $\$9$ and $\$14$ per square foot.

• Total Professional Estimate: Approximately $$1,000 – $1,700.

Project Notes

• Preparation: Ensure the brick is pressure washed and free of loose debris before applying the bonding agent.

• Lath vs. Bonding: While a bonding agent is standard for brick-to-stucco, using a metal or fiberglass lath (mesh) is highly recommended for an entrance sign to prevent future cracks caused by vibrations or settling.

• Signage: You will need to remove the “Holden Park” lettering before starting and likely replace it with new mountings or a placard once the stucco has cured (usually 48–72 hours).
