EIFSmart Contractor
One of the industry’s most prestigious accreditationsGranted by the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry (AWCI). This certification signifies that our team has undergone rigorous training, testing, and evaluation to uphold the highest EIFS standards.
What are EIFS?
Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS) consist of rigid insulation boards applied to a variety of substrates, including wood, cement, and masonry.
The system is designed to create a seamless, insulated barrier that enhances energy efficiency and protects buildings from moisture. Originally introduced to the U.S. nearly 50 years ago, the Dryvit system revolutionized exterior cladding by incorporating expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation, reinforced with a modified cement base coat and a durable, textured finish.
EIFS Benefits
Built for Performance and Versatility
Energy Efficiency
EIFS insulation layers reduce thermal bridging. By minimizing heat loss and gain, EIFS help lower energy consumption for heating and cooling, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice for any project on the long term.
Improved Moisture Protection
EIFS incorporate a moisture-resistant barrier along with an integrated drainage system, ensuring effective water management and safeguarding structures against potential damage.
Design Versatility
EIFS have the ability to replicate the look of various cladding materials: brick, stone, and wood. By customizing the finish coat’s color, texture, and architectural elements, it achieves that aesthetic vision while maintaining durability and efficiency.
Lightweight & Flexibility
EIFS weigh less than Stucco and has greater flexibility. These characteristics ease installation and optimize structural load.
Durability
The improved moisture management and lightweight material maintain the integrity of the installation in the long term. Even in severe weather conditions.
FAQs
EIFS include a continuous insulation layer that minimizes thermal bridging, reducing energy loss. This results in lower heating and cooling costs while improving overall indoor comfort.
Yes, EIFS with moisture drainage are specifically designed to optimize water management, preventing damage and increasing the lifespan of a building’s exterior.
EIFS offer a vast range of colors, textures, and architectural details, allowing it to replicate materials like brick, stone, or wood while maintaining durability and flexibility.
When properly installed and maintained, EIFS can last for decades. Its durable composition resists cracking, fading, and weather-related wear, making it a long-term investment in building protection and aesthetics.

Acrylic
Acrylic EIFS provide excellent resistance to cracking and weathering. Its polymer-based acrylic finish coat enhances adhesion, making it ideal for high-performance applications. With a wide variety of colors and textures, Acrylic EIFS offer both aesthetic appeal and long-term protection.
EIFS with Moisture Drainage
This system incorporates a drainage plane that directs water away from the wall assembly. By preventing water infiltration and promoting proper ventilation, EIFS with Moisture Drainage enhances building longevity and reduces the risk of structural damage.
Barrier EIFS
Barrier EIFS provide a seamless, airtight exterior that acts as a protective shield against the weather. While it lacks a dedicated drainage system, it excels in preventing air and moisture intrusion when properly installed. Barrier EIFS is a cost-effective solution for buildings requiring strong thermal insulation and a smooth, energy-efficient finish.
