Scope & Capabilities

What We Do

EIFS Installation

We install complete EIFS wall assemblies — insulation board, base coat with reinforcing mesh, and a durable finish coat in your choice of texture and color. EIFS is lighter than hard-coat stucco, adds insulation value, and allows for smooth, crack-free finishes and custom architectural shapes. For ground-up builds, see our new construction stucco page.

Foam Trim & Architectural Detailing

Foam trim is what gives an EIFS or stucco wall its architectural character — bands, cornices, window and door surrounds, quoins, and arch details. We shape and install foam trim, coat it with mesh and base coat for impact resistance, and finish it to match the wall. It is the detail work that separates a plain wall from a finished elevation.

EIFS Repair

EIFS damage — impact holes, cracked finish, water intrusion at joints, or delaminating base coat — needs proper repair to keep moisture out of the wall assembly. We open the damaged area, inspect the substrate, replace the insulation and mesh as needed, and trowel a matching finish. For isolated cracks on hard-coat walls, see our stucco repair service.

Commercial & Residential EIFS

We handle EIFS on both residential and commercial buildings — from a home addition with foam trim to retail and office buildings requiring full EIFS cladding. See our commercial stucco page for larger-scale work.
