EIFS replaced with stucco
Great Falls, Virginia

EIFS replaced with stucco We scaffolded up house to tear off the EIFS. Rotten OSB sheathing is soaking wet, rotten, and full of bugs.

EIFS is like a plastic bag, trapping water against the wall. Tiny holes in the finish coat material let water in, but not back out.
