Rendering in United States ranges from $3/sqft for basic texture coat to $28/sqft for a full render and insulation combo system. Prices per sq ft exclude sales tax. Standard three-coat stucco system or EIFS finish. Lath and prep charged separately on frame buildings.

The most common types in United States are three-coat stucco, acrylic/synthetic stucco, EIFS, integral colour stucco, and stucco repair. Each has different cost, performance, and application characteristics depending on substrate type and climate.

Acrylic and polymer-modified stucco systems outperform traditional three-coat cement stucco in most US climates due to better flexibility and crack resistance. EIFS systems also provide thermal performance. In earthquake-prone areas, flexible systems are strongly recommended.

A full single-storey house render typically takes 3–5 working days. A double-storey home takes 5–8 days including drying time between coats. Small repair patches can be completed in a single day. EIFS and insulation combo systems take longer due to the additional layers and curing requirements.
