Our House

This week, our house was transformed with a new stucco coat. Below is a before picture.
We decided to re-stucco instead of just re-paint, in part because of the cracks we have on the walls. The largest of the cracks is where the addition joins the original house. The contractors opened up the crack and fixed it up.
The crack goes all the way through to the inside of the house. When the crack was opened up to fix, you could see light coming inside the house from the crack. The contractors even fixed the crack on the inside of the house.

Here are some in progress pictures.


The first stucco coat turned the house grey.
Today they came back and finished up with the blue color coat. We got foam trim around the windows and doors, which has a white color coat.
We still have to finish up and paint the gutters, doors and garage, but the stucco is all done.
