Stucco on spalling brick
I have a 41 year old house that is half brick and half vinyl siding.
Many of the bricks have deteriorated and the faces have chipped off. Could you answer the following questions:
Would having stucco professionally applied to the brick be a viable alternative to replacing the brick or covering the brick walls with siding ?
I live in Northern Virginia, so it is humid here and we get rain, I have heard stucco is better for dry climates. Is it ok to have stucco in moist climates ?
What does stucco cost ?
We coat over spalling bricks:

Scroll down to Reston.
We have done several chimneys in Arlington, where the bricks were spalled because they were poorly made.
What it costs to stucco a chimney depends on much it costs to set up a scaffold.

For years, stucco has been the solution for spalling bricks.
We ended up doing the work and here it is.
We stuccoed three houses on the same street. The bricks were poorly made.
