We stuccoed Joel's house over old "Salmon brick". Joel said the bricks were ugly and had to go. |
Stucco columns torn off and re-done. |
Lath and stucco soffits saved quite a few houses in Miami during Hurricane Andrew. Lighter materials were blown off, allowing winds to get under the roof, blowing it off. Want a hurricane-proof house? |
A badly cracked stucco installation was saved
by resurfacing. The stucco was two years old, and
had
cracks in a grid about 2 feet apart. Here, a thin portland lime and sand basecoat is applied. |
Stucco resurfaced with new portland cement and sand. I doubt and cracks will ever come back. |
