Pebble dash stucco replaced on this 1915 house
in Washington, DC
We stripped off all the stucco on this old house. All the old sheathing was replaced with Zip wall, and new windows were put in.
1/2" pea gravel matches the old house on the money.
A view from my scaffold shows the National Cathedral. Scaffold was set up on the tower on the right in 2013.
Just like 1915 again. Stucco will be left unpainted.
Patch and match
Roof leak is fixed by cutting the stucco back, putting on new flashing and patching the stucco back. This allows the flashing to go under the stucco instead of over the stucco.
Tudor panel replaced. Burlap bag stipple matches on the money.
Old roof leaks caused the stucco to fail.
