A trial on the claims against Sto Corp., another major stucco maker, is set to begin on Oct. 11. A house would qualify if moisture readings inside walls are more than 25 percent. Square footage of doors and windows would be excluded, as would areas covered by brick, stone or other materials. Homeowners who have already replaced Dryvit stucco would get some relief, but lawyers aren't yet sure how much. The lawyers for the two sides hope for a final approval by early next year.
Homeowners can expect a check shortly thereafter.
