"In the 1990s, EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) was a very popular substrate for building. It is basically a synthetic stucco. However, problems with moisture retention and durability have curtailed its use in recent years. Not every stucco contractor is trained and equipped to repair and replace EIFS. At Stucco Repair Los Angeles, we can handle it! We can diagnose the problem, and help you attack the cause and damage so that it’s not a recurring problem. We want you to be happy with your home or business, and not have the stress of worrying about your EIFS failing. Simply call us, and we’ll handle the rest! EIFS repair is just one of the many services that we offer!

Common Issues Addressed in EIFS and Stucco Repair

• Bird Hole Repair and Deterrents: Birds can cause unexpected damage to EIFS façades. Our team is equipped to repair these holes and implement deterrent solutions to prevent future issues.

• Refinishing Services: Enhance the appearance of your property with our refinishing services, which breathe new life into worn surfaces.

When done correctly, the cladding process of a property can last a very long time, but after some time, there may be a need for it to undergo a repairing process. Stucco and EIFS repair are what we do best at Stucco Repairs Los Angeles.

When it comes to stucco and EIFS, they have the probability of lasting for 100 years. Be that as it may, the surfaces they cover can become permeable. When water finds its way through cracks and holes into the underlying surface, it causes further damage to the stucco and EIFS. Thereby leading to the looseness of the areas that can cause more significant damage.

To avoid extreme damages, the Stucco and EIFS areas that have become loose or fallen away must be repaired — removing the loose material, installing new building paper and metal lath, and applying coats of stucco repair mix. This process ensures that a building has a long lifespan.

Over a long time, cracks and dents occur in a building due to impacts. And just like it is with any coating, when water percolates, there is a big challenge. To avoid getting to this stage, proper inspection of the property is important in order to carry out necessary repairs.

The process of Stucco and EIFS repair could be a bit challenging, as it requires working on several layers and there are not many professionals who can do a great job in that regard, that’s why Stucco Repair Los Angeles is a trusted Stucco Repair company that renders quality service delivery every time. The proper installation of Stucco and EIFS ensures a long-lifetime cladding that anyone could wish for but when cracks and blisters show up, their repair cannot be further delayed."

Here is the breakdown of what we do to at Stucco Repairs Los Angeles to ensure an EIFS and Stucco repair that befits your building:

1. Break off loose Stucco.
We ensure to remove all sorts of Stucco that are loose, through chiseling, hammering, etc. In the process, we provide that the underlying supports are not damaged.

2. Chip the edges away.
The edges of the loose Stucco are properly chipped out to ensure that there is firmness at those edges before the Stucco repair on the surface where the loose stucco has been removed.



3. Cover the exposed lath.
We trim a builder paper around the surface that has been chipped and fit it around the boundary. We fasten the paper to the lath with roofing nails; afterward we apply a second paper before the application of Stucco.

4. Mesh placement.
To ensure tightening of the exposed surface, we use a galvanized metal lath over the paper and trim it tight against the edge of the Stucco. And then more roofing nails are put through the mesh and into the wood lath.

5. Stucco Mixture
This is achieved by mixing the acrylic bonding agent to improve the adhesion of the new Stucco to the old surface.

Then, we scratch it and apply the finishing coating that makes it finally available for painting. But if need be, we can apply a second coating before painting.
