We stuccoed the back of this house 3 years ago.
Click

to see what we did then.
The top floor sides and front had celotex painted to
look like stucco. The tudor boards are 1 by 4's nailed on. |
This house originally belonged to Russ Grimm,
the ex-Redskin. Here tudor boards are stripped off. We nailed tarpaper
and metal lath over the celotex. |

| Photo shows the counter flashing and kick out flashing we put
on. The
counter flashing deflects water from the step flashing. The kick out
flashing
diverts water into the gutter. |

This is a roof on this same house. |

Here is a view of the work we did 3 years ago.
The new area has black paper. The band had to be extended on both sides. |
Matching the color wasn't hard using La Habra
colors, but the band was a custom color I made
using black paint colorants. After 2 attempts the new band matches
the old. If you saw the band we did in 2002, click
here, it was scored to replicate stones, or blocks. |
 |
 |
| Easy keystone was done by applying tape, filling with
sandstone color finish, and then pulling off the tape. |
Keystone is done with wall color. |
 |
 |
| Later, the jack arches are finished with the same grey we
used on the
bands. Note how the stucco color on the keystones blend with the
old keystones on the
masonry. The idea is the appearance that the house might have been
built this way. |
Heat pump tents keep falling mortar off of heat pumps. |
 |
We used a lot of plastic to cover the bricks.
This is probably a historic house seeing how a
famous person lived here.
