Entrance Signs
Quote from Alex on January 8, 2026, 12:00 pmBased 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 sq. ft.), Back (26 sq. ft.), and Top (13 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: ≈113 sq. ft. (plus 10% for waste = 125 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 (80lb) $105−$140 Finish Coat Textured finish coat (Gray or White). 1 – 2 bags (80lb) $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).
