WHAT IS STUCCO AND EIFS?

Stucco is a cement plaster wall covering found on Mediterranean, Contemporary, and Southwest style homes.
EIFS (Exterior Insulation & Finish System) is foam-backed wall covering with a similar appearance to traditional stucco. It is sometimes referred to as “synthetic stucco.”

Why do you need a stucco inspection?

Some stucco systems have had a history of problems with regard to moisture, deterioration, rot, and mold.
Moisture behind the walls can be lurking where it's least expected and can be completely invisible to the naked eye.
Fixing bad stucco is expensive. Remediation can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000.
Find out if your stucco house has moisture problems before you buy.
We’ll identify appearance, installation, and moisture issues with your stucco system.
And, we’ll provide recommendations to keep your stucco house in tip-top shape, which will preserve the home’s value. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
