Stucco is a popular exterior finish for buildings that provides an economical hard surface that can be colored and finished in a wide range of textures to adorn any architectural style. Stucco is hard, strong, fire-resistant, and color-retentive. Since it is also breathable, or able to transmit moisture vapor, water that gets behind it does not become trapped. That makes it resistant to rot and fungus. Stucco finishes have proved to be a durable wall cover in all climates, whether wet, dry, hot, or cold. Stucco can be applied directly (to concrete and concrete masonry) or using methal lath (usually used over stud wall construction with or without sheathing materials).

All our stucco work is done with approved materials and applied in conformity with the existing standards (ASTM C 926, Standard Specification for Application of Portland Cement-Based Plaster; ASTM C 1063, Standard Specification for Installation of Lathing and Furring to Receive Interior and Exterior Portland Cement-Based Plaster).

In addition to Stucco, we also provide and install complete EIFS systems. Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) are multi-layered exterior wall systems that are used on both commercial buildings and homes. They provide superior energy efficiency and offer much greater design flexibility than other cladding products.

EIFS systems were introduced in the U.S. almost 30 years ago. They were first used on commercial buildings, and later, on homes. Today, EIFS account for nearly 30% of the U.S. commercial exterior wall market. EIFS typically consist of the following components:insulation board, made of polystyrene or polyisocyanurate foam, which is secured to the exterior wall surface with a specially formulated adhesive and/or mechanical attachment a durable, water-resistant base coat, which is applied on top of the insulation and reinforced with fiber glass mesh for added strength.
