Stucco replaced on this Mediterranean house
in Reston, Virginia

Here's how we did it:

Windows and doors didn't have flashing. Some had flashing that didn't go back under the stucco.

Gypsum sheathing replaced with new OSB.

Old metal lath was welded wire K Lath. Too bad we had to tear it off.

Mortar on the chimney was paper thin. Blocks were badly deteriorated.

We stripped off the paper thin mortar. We put new flashing over the old and a drainage stop. Of course, we used a super mortar on the chimney.

We put our signature rubber membrane on the crown.

A drip band is formed and filled on the top.

New flashing over the round window.

Two layers of tar paper and self furring metal lath.

Plastic splatter screens prevent mortar from splattering on the neighbors.

Spanish numbers are embedded in the stucco. Here the brown coat is cut and scraped off.

Numbers stuck on flush with the brown coat.

Numbers are covered with frog tape.

Finish coat goes over the edges, locking the tiles into place.

House numbers have the embedded look, and not just stuck on.

Deck boards are put on first and have copper flashing.

Front finished.
