Once the EIFS has been removed from the walls and all of the water damage has been addressed. Replace substrate and framing as needed, we apply a new vapor barrier and install flashing as needed to insure that no new problems come up down the road. It is important to note here that we will only remove as much EIFS in one day as we are able to dry in by the close of the day. We don’t want to leave the home exposed to the elements — not even over night. When possible, we like to get the whole house ready for plaster before we start applying any mud to the walls.

And here is the finished product. These pictures were sent to me by the homeowner. I got caught up in the project and forget to take my own pictures. I’ll get better.
We finished this house with a white smooth trowel finish. It is quite beautiful and as it ages, I am confident that it will become even more so.
Here is a note that the home owner sent along with the pictures.
We built our home in west Plano in the mid-1990’s, at a time when many architects and builders were recommending and utilizing a type of stucco called EIFS (Exterior Insulated Finishing System). Over time, this EIFS system proved to be problematic as water trapped behind the EIFS caused the underlying OSB and framing to become water-logged and rotted. In 2007 we contracted with Mark Cline, proprietor of Plaster, Inc. to remove and replace the EIFS,
damaged framing, sheathing and insulation, and to replace it with a hand-trawled masonry
stucco exterior finish.
The masonry re-clad of the entire exterior of our home was a substantial undertaking. From start to finish of the project, we were impressed with the professionalism, attention to detail, overall project management and work ethic of Mark Cline and his experienced crew of workmen. During the construction process we received regular updates and consultations on the scope and status of the work. The work crews were reliable and considerate, did a good job and kept the job site clean and orderly throughout. |
