Comprehensive EIFS Inspection and Repair for Homes and Businesses
At Modern Wall Systems, we provide complete EIFS inspection and repair services for both residential and commercial properties.
Our team specializes in identifying issues such as moisture intrusion, cracks, and system failures, then delivering durable, cost-effective solutions that restore your exterior’s integrity and appearance.
Residential EIFS Leak & Moisture Remediation
Residential EIFS moisture damage often starts hidden behind the surface, where trapped water can deteriorate sheathing, framing, and insulation. We identify the source, remove damaged materials, and upgrade the wall system to a properly drained, moisture-managed EIFS assembly.

NO JOB TOO BIG
Residential
Residential exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) are multi-layer exterior wall claddings that combine continuous foam insulation, a reinforced base coat, and a textured finish to improve energy efficiency and aesthetics on homes. They are popular on residential projects because they can significantly increase wall R-values while allowing a wide range of architectural styles and colors.
Provides continuous exterior insulation, typically adding about R-4 to R-6 per inch of foam to residential walls, which can raise overall wall insulation into the R-11 to R-16 range when combined with cavity insulation.
Improves thermal performance and airtightness compared with conventional siding, helping reduce thermal bridging and potentially cutting heating and cooling loads by 20–30% in some applications.
Offers versatile design options, with finishes that can mimic stucco, stone, or other textures and support a wide variety of colors and architectural details on residential facades.
Works well for energy-efficient retrofits on older homes, where adding EIFS over existing walls can tighten the building envelope and in some case studies reduce energy bills by roughly 30–50% depending on starting conditions.
Requires proper drainage and detailing around openings, especially on wood-framed houses, because systems without drainage or secondary barriers have historically been prone to hidden moisture damage.
Can be cost-competitive with many other claddings, with material and installation costs per square foot often lower than premium brick, while also providing measurable energy savings over the service life of the home.
Commercial
Commercial exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) are non-load-bearing cladding solutions that integrate continuous insulation, air/water-resistive barriers, reinforcing mesh, and decorative finishes for high-performance building envelopes. They excel in commercial applications by meeting stringent energy codes while enabling bold architectural designs on offices, retail, and institutional structures.
Delivers superior energy efficiency through continuous insulation like EPS or XEPS foam, eliminating thermal bridging and helping commercial buildings achieve R-values of R-13 or higher to comply with modern codes.
Enhances moisture management with integrated drainage planes and water-resistive barriers that collect and redirect incidental water, reducing risks in high-exposure commercial environments.
Offers extensive design flexibility with customizable textures, colors, and finishes that mimic stucco, stone, or metal, ideal for large-scale commercial facades requiring aesthetic variety.
Provides durability and impact resistance via fiberglass-reinforced base coats, withstanding wind loads, UV exposure, and everyday wear on busy commercial sites.
Supports sustainability goals by lowering energy use, incorporating recyclable materials like EPS, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in commercial operations.
Features lighter weight and easier installation than traditional claddings like brick or cement board, speeding up construction timelines for commercial projects while cutting labor costs.
