New stucco on Burnsville, MN, duplex

The base coats are allowed to dry and cure, and then the two-coat stucco finish is applied. On this duplex, the homeowners chose the color Adobe using a knock-down dash texture. The new stucco exterior of this Minnesota duplex will be maintenance free for the homeowners, who live in Colorado. It also provides an updated look that is attractive to the prospective tenants and improves the appearance of the entire neighborhood!
