Ugly expansion joints removed
Stucco repaired and re-coated in Great Falls, Virginia
Old color cement stucco was tired. Badly cracked and stained, and poorly flashed from the beginning.
A lot of the house was victimized by synthetic.

Expansion joints were easily removed, because they were put in wrong.
You are supposed to put on the expansion first, then the lath. It is a lot faster to put the lath on first, but the joint doesn't expand.

Stucco cut back over windows, roofs, etc. and new flashing put on.
