New Residential EIFS Installation:

EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) installation on a new residential home involves adding a layer of insulation and a protective finish to the exterior walls. EIFS is a popular choice for energy-efficient and attractive home exteriors. The installation process starts with preparation of the walls, including cleaning and the application of a moisture barrier. Next, foam insulation is applied to the walls in a continuous layer, followed by the application of a protective finish, typically made of fiberglass mesh and a specialized plaster. The final step is to paint or finish the EIFS surface, giving it a smooth and seamless appearance. EIFS offers improved energy efficiency, durability, and a decorative touch to a new residential home. With proper installation and maintenance, EIFS can last for many years, enhancing the beauty and energy efficiency of the home. 

Existing Residential EIFS Remediation:

EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) remediation on a residential home involves fixing any issues or problems with an existing EIFS installation. EIFS systems can suffer from problems such as water infiltration, mold growth, bird holes, and structural cracks and damage, which can lead to more serious problems if left unaddressed. Remediation starts with a thorough inspection of the existing EIFS installation to identify the source of any problems. Next, the affected areas are removed and repaired, which may involve removing and replacing damaged insulation, reinforcing the structure, or repairing any leaks in the moisture barrier. After the repairs are made, a new EIFS finish is applied, using the same materials and techniques as the original installation. Finally, the new EIFS surface is painted or finished, restoring its appearance and performance. EIFS remediation is important to maintain the energy efficiency, durability, and appearance of a residential home. By fixing any problems with the EIFS installation, homeowners can ensure the long-term performance and beauty of their home.
