Recent EIFS Repair Projects
EIFS resurfacing provides several advantages:
- Addresses multiple points of damage simultaneously
- Enables the use of high-impact mesh to strengthen areas subject to heavy service conditions
- Restores the cosmetic surface or corrects inconsistencies in existing texture
- Allows for changes in color and texture

Resurfacing Procedure
The EIFS resurfacing process typically involves the following steps:
Preparation: Address any necessary repairs, replace sealants, and update flashing or damaged windows.
Surface Assessment: Perform bond testing to confirm base coat adhesion and apply surface stabilizer if needed.
Cleaning: Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be resurfaced.
Protection: Safeguard areas not intended for resurfacing.
Base Coat Application: Apply a uniform layer of base coat and embed reinforcing mesh.
Additional Reinforcement: For high-traffic areas, apply an extra layer of base coat with high-impact mesh.
Priming: Apply a tinted primer to prevent finish shadowing and reduce base coat suction.
Finish Application: Apply the new finish using appropriate techniques to achieve the desired texture.
