One coat stucco replaced in
Washington, DC
Here's how we did it:
House wrap covered with Tar paper and self furring metal lath.
Porch is covered with correx.Windows are covered with plastic.
Spacers are used to leave a gap between the stop at the bottom and the porch.
Heaters are used in cold temperatures.
Brown coat is rodded off. These walls are an honest 3/4 inch thick.
One coat was only 3/8" thick. Our scratch coat is almost out to the old wall.
A vertical band is used to hide the difference in thickness.
A view of the finished band.

Sills are formed using plaster stop.
