EIFS is a different animal from traditional stucco. Instead of cement plaster over lath, you have foam insulation board, a base coat with fiberglass mesh, and a flexible acrylic finish. It insulates better and it does not crack the way hard coat does. It is also far less forgiving of bad flashing details, because the old barrier-style systems had no way to drain water that got behind them.

We install modern drainage EIFS and we repair the older systems, including the soft spots and delamination that show up on PLACEHOLDER City homes built during the barrier-EIFS era.

Barrier EIFS versus drainage EIFS

Barrier systems were designed to keep all water out at the face. When a window seal or a roof-to-wall detail failed, that water had nowhere to go and it rotted sheathing from the inside. Drainage EIFS adds a weather-resistive barrier and a drainage gap behind the foam so incidental water exits at the bottom. Current code in most jurisdictions requires the drainage type on new residential work.

Repairing failed synthetic stucco

Repair starts with probing and moisture readings, not with a bid. We map the wet area, open it up, and find out whether the sheathing and framing behind it are still sound. Then the wall gets rebuilt with proper flashing at the failure point, new foam and mesh base coat, and a finish blended into the surrounding acrylic. Skipping the flashing correction guarantees a repeat call.

  • Soft or spongy areas you can press in with a thumb
  • Staining or streaking below windows, decks and roof intersections
  • Cracked or opened sealant joints at every penetration
  • Delamination — finish separating from the base coat or foam

Which system belongs on your building

Hard coat stucco is tougher against impact and is the default on most residential work here. EIFS wins on continuous insulation, on complex architectural shapes and on tall commercial elevations where weight matters. Neither one is universally better. We will walk your building and give you the honest trade-off rather than selling the system we would rather install.

Common questions

EIFS & Synthetic Stucco questions we hear in PLACEHOLDER City

Tap the wall. Hard coat stucco sounds solid and feels like concrete. EIFS sounds hollow and has a slight give. A trim detail that looks like carved foam is another giveaway.
