EIFS Retrofit – EIFS Removal and Replacement

Comments Off on EIFS Retrofit – EIFS Removal and Replacement

We recently completed a large project for an apartment complex in Montclair, NJ.  The complex had serious water entry issues because of improper EIFS installation which compromised the underlying substrate.  The owners needed to rectify the issues in a cost effective and timely manner.

Identify failing EIFS areas and missing flashing.

 

Identified water entry problems.

Removed EIFS to reveal damaged substrate.

Replaced damaged plywood and applied new vapor barrier and grace vycor to code specs to prevent future water entry.

Replaced EIFS board, applied scratch coat to new and existing surfaces.

Skim entire new and existing surface area to prepare for finish coat.

Applied customer pre-approved finish color to complete the project.
