MORE Old Stucco Gallery
from 1999


A stucco front we did in 1990 made to look like cast concrete stones. We did the window sills and even the caps on the stair rails. We worked in the evenings, after working all day in Northeast Washington plastering a hospital. This is near Dupont Circle in Washington, DC	An old house in Alexandria, VA. We stuccoed over the 1950's permastone, in 1996. The finish coat is a color stucco finish from Expo stucco in San Diego.
	An attractive addition we did in old town Alexandria, Virginia in 1993. The copper roof and redwood offers a nice contrast with the white stucco.

My front stairs
Location: My house


Badly spalling concrete steps were repaired with stucco. Areas that had fallen apart were partially filled with portland cement mortar and an acrylic additive.	Spalling areas were blocked out (filled) and old paint removed with a grinder.
	A pumpkin-orange stucco finish applied. The falling leaves stain the unsealed stucco, but I don't mind. I like the old look. If I don't like it, I can coat it over again. I fixed my steps at a fraction of the cost of new concrete, And the stucco is more resistant to spalling.
