Hanina's house
Washington, DC
Loose stucco stripped off
stucco cut back for flashing
Loose areas are stripped off revealing that this house was stuccoed using metal lath over the original wood clapboard siding, probably in the 1930's or 40's. The painted stucco that was still pretty solid, was chipped and prepared for resurfacing.
Areas above the windows, roofs, and wood sill were cut back to put on flashing new flashing.

Notice the damaged areas below the roof intersection. This is typical. A kick out flashing would have prevented this damage.
above the new roof. We didn't want to damage the new copper roof, and the stucco was pretty solid.

Flashing was bent using a sheet metal brake and put on.
