        "text": "Applying stucco over existing siding like wood or brick is possible but requires proper preparation to ensure adhesion and prevent future issues. For wood siding, a weather-resistant barrier and a metal lath are typically installed first to create a suitable base. Over brick, the surface usually needs to be thoroughly cleaned, and a bonding agent might be applied before a lath is attached. The success depends heavily on the condition of the existing siding and proper flashing details. A professional assessment is recommended to determine feasibility and the best approach for your specific home.",
