Re stucco in Capitol Hill
Washington, DC
Our new wall finished. Orange mesh protects neighbors from debris.
You probably have seen our chipping and bonding method if you have visited my site before. Loose areas are knocked off and the rest of the wall is chipped every 4 inches or so.
Wall is straight, Buddy-ro.
Finish coat is REAL white portland cement, lime and Medium grit white sand.
The color is an earthy greenish color made with Sherwin-William paint tint.
Our natural white cement window sills are formed with styrofoam and filled in.
The finished sills look like the cement sills you see on old houses. Of course,
the sills are angled down for water run-off.

More about our cement sills. Typical sills on old houses in Washington were 5 inches wide with a 15o slope.

Everything is wrapped up, covered up, and taped off.
