Mike Lamb Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 When you see a smooth stucco do you identify it as just stucco. I have seen it called Santa Barbara stucco. Around here stucco is nearly always textured and my client had trouble with me calling it just plain stucco.

Nolan Kienitz Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 In our realm (or maybe 'my' realm) down here it is either stucco (traditional head-coat) or EIFS. I don't get into "type of texture" ... as it were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I would call that "cracked stucco". I don't make any differentiation between texture and smooth; the client sounds a little goofy. It's stucco, either hard coat, 2, 3, 4 coat, EIFS, etc., I identify it by the substrates and drainage (or lack thereof). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 The good news is, the "stucco" packed into the bottom of that rotted window frame, doesn't have a crack in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasden Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Looks like the brown coat (2nd) to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocon Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Only addressing the finish it appears to be a sand float finish not a smooth finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
