EIFS Siding in Alpharetta, GA
EIFS — Exterior Insulation and Finish System — is a multi-layered, insulated exterior that delivers superior energy efficiency and a seamless, sculptural, stucco-like finish. We install, repair and remediate EIFS across North Fulton.
The Insulated, Seamless Exterior System
Often mistaken for traditional stucco, EIFS is a fundamentally different and far more sophisticated wall system. Rather than a single cement layer, EIFS is built from several engineered components — including a layer of continuous rigid insulation — that work together to wrap your home in an energy-efficient, water-managed envelope with a beautiful, customizable finish.
EIFS is also a system that demands genuine expertise. Done correctly, it performs superbly in Georgia's climate for decades. Done poorly, it can trap moisture. With 30+ years of exterior experience, our team installs and services modern, drainable EIFS the right way — and we're equally skilled at inspecting and remediating older systems.
How an EIFS Wall System Works
EIFS is engineered in layers — each one with a job to do. Modern drainable EIFS adds a built-in moisture-drainage plane behind the insulation, the key upgrade over older “barrier” systems.
The sheathing is sealed with a fluid-applied or sheet water-resistive barrier that keeps the structure dry.
A grooved channel or drainage mat lets any incidental moisture escape safely — the modern code-required upgrade.
Rigid EPS foam board is adhered to the wall, providing continuous insulation that boosts energy efficiency.
A base coat embedded with fiberglass mesh creates a strong, crack-resistant, impact-tough surface.
A colored, textured acrylic finish forms the durable, weather-resistant outer skin you see.
The Advantages of EIFS
Continuous insulation reduces thermal bridging and lowers heating & cooling bills.
A monolithic finish with virtually unlimited colors, textures and architectural shapes.
Adapts to curves, cornices and detailing that rigid materials simply can't achieve.
The mesh-reinforced base coat resists cracking far better than traditional stucco.
Modern drainable EIFS channels water out, protecting the structure behind it.
The acrylic finish resists fading and needs only occasional cleaning.

EIFS Repair & Moisture Remediation
Older “barrier” EIFS can trap moisture if it was poorly installed or improperly sealed. Our specialists diagnose and fix these issues — protecting your home and restoring its finish.
Probe and infrared testing to locate trapped moisture and hidden damage behind the finish.
Removal and rebuild of moisture-damaged sheathing, framing and insulation.
Upgrading older barrier EIFS to a modern drainable system that sheds water safely.
Sealing failed joints around windows, doors and penetrations to stop leaks at the source.
Patching, re-texturing and recoating to restore a uniform, like-new appearance.
