Anyone who knows EIFS, knows the broad range of quality produced by varying contractors.  Some contractors, even still yet today,  just cannot get these applications down correctly. Or they are driven in such a production frenzy, they leave substantial problems for any later owner of the projects they have “completed”.  We urge anyone considering EIFS/repairs to get out and view the previous work by any EIFS contractor they are considering. These products can cause substantial problems when applied incorrectly. Too many people have been blindsided by astronomical repair costs.  Never accept one opinion or price! Always have a third-party inspection! Get educated if you have EIFS, and protect yourself and your home.

Exterior insulation and Finish System

Exterior insulation and Finish System (EIFS) is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system. In Europe, systems similar to EIFS are known as External Wall Insulation Systems (EWIS) and External Thermal Insulation Cladding Systems (ETICS).

EIFS has been in use since the 1960s in North America, first on masonry buildings, but since the 1990s the majority on wood-framed buildings. There is a history of water infiltration problems causing damage to buildings and resulting in costly legal cases, so the recommended systems include a drainage plane to let water drain down and out from behind the cladding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can EIFS be repaired?

Yes, EIFS can be repaired. According to the National Association of Home Builders, EIFS repairs are typically more cost-effective than an entire system replacement and can be completed using specialized tools and materials. This type of building material is susceptible to water damage, as well as structural damage caused by impacts or natural disasters. Repairs may include sealing cracks, replacing blown insulation, and re-coating the exterior finish with a new protective layer. Careful attention and workmanship should be given to ensure a successful repair and to prevent further water damage or other problems. For the best results, it is recommended to hire a contractor experienced in EIFS repair for the job. Proper maintenance and monitoring of EIFS systems are key to avoiding extensive repairs.

How much does it cost to repair EIFS?

The cost of repairing EIFS may depend on various factors such as the extent of damage, size of the area that needs repair, the type of EIFS system (traditional or modern), labor costs, and the location of the project. It is best to consult local EIFS contractors or experts for a more accurate estimate of repair costs.

How long does an EIFS system last?

An Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) system is designed to last for a lifetime. According to the National Association of Home Builders, a properly installed and maintained EIFS system should last for 30 years or more. However, some factors such as climate, aging materials, moisture infiltration, and poor installation may reduce the lifespan of an EIFS system. Regular inspections can help identify any potential issues with the system early on and prevent costly repairs down the line.

Is stucco and EIFS the same?

No, stucco and EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) are not the same. While both are exterior wall cladding systems used on buildings, they have notable differences. Stucco is a traditional wall cladding system made of cement, water, and sand. It is typically applied in three separate layers: the scratch coat, brown coat, and finish coat. Stucco is usually a more affordable option compared to EIFS.

EIFS, on the other hand, is a newer exterior cladding system that includes a layer of foam insulation board that is attached to the exterior wall surface, followed by a base coat and a finish coat. EIFS typically has a smoother, more modern appearance than stucco and provides greater energy efficiency and moisture resistance. However, it tends to be more expensive and requires special installation training. In summary, stucco is an older, more traditional type of exterior wall cladding made of cement, water, and sand, while EIFS is a newer, energy-efficient exterior cladding system that features a foam insulation board covered with a base and finish coat.
