award.
Stucco addition
in Arlington, VA
for Nik Stajkas
REAL stucco finish is white portland and sand. Color is #830, "Clay", from La Habra stucco.
Earthy stucco color blends in real well with the trees and other surroundings.
Stucco on balconies and parapet walls deserve some special attention.
Please click here or the picture for more. (opens new window)

Drip cap on chimney is formed by nailing
two layers of one by fours on the chimney and filling in. Later, the forms are removed and the finish is applied.
These caps make sure the chimneys last. Don't believe me? Go to an old neighborhood and look at the stucco chimneys. The chimneys without drip edges usually have been patched or are in bad shape.
