Howdy all, when getting ready to stucco any kind of porch or roof, you should place your stucco weep or drip screed at least a half inch to two inches above the floor deck or roof.
Why? Excellent question; stucco lasts forever, but porches and roofs do not. Who wants to break out stucco to replace a porch? The answer is no one.
