        "text": "The stucco application process typically begins with preparing the exterior walls, which may involve removing old siding and repairing any substrate damage. Next, a weather-resistant barrier (WRB) is applied, followed by a wire lath or mesh to provide a key for the stucco. For traditional stucco, three coats are then applied: a scratch coat, a brown coat, and a finish coat. Each coat requires sufficient drying time. The finish coat is where color and texture are added. Proper preparation and application are critical for a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.",
