I have been specializing in repairing synthetic stucco longer than anyone else. Most companies that repair EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) have something else they do as a main gig. I have been focusing on repairing this product since 2000, and after the testing came out from the Oakridge National Laboratories in 2007 I doubled down on repairs. You would be hard pressed to find someone that has more experience repairing EIFS.
Over the years I have learned what works and what does not. Why, where and when this product fails. From my experience, it is not so much the product itself, but all the actors involved. From the manufacturer all the way down to the installer.
