replicating a stucco with stone and brick accent exterior

12 years ago

Does anyone have any recommendations in the Midwest (MI) for someone who can replicate a stucco exterior with stone and brick accents throughout? Our home was built in the 1940s and we are looking to add to it but want the addition to look like it has been there all along. I have seen this type of exterior on homes in Mexico but not here. I have posted a photo in the garden web home photo gallery "my favorite rooms" you should be able to find it under the keyword "stucco"

Thanks!

It shouldn't be that hard to find someone. Have you looked for someone who does restoration instead of new additions? If you have one of those historic preservation commissions around (Detroit has one), ask them--all those Tudor revivals in MI need stucco people.

I needed some stucco repaired on my '29 house in Dearborn along with a few timbers and sills and my GC didn't have any problem, but he did specialize in those older homes.

Matching the stone should be the hard part!
