EIFS replaced with REAL stucco 

                                Lee Graham shopping center in Falls Church, Virginia

EIFS, dryvit, parex, whatever in Virginia.
The beauty of EIFS in Virginia.
Entrance to these offices looked kinda
shabby with torn up EIFS
.
Typical of areas with high traffic (or low traffic) is beat up flimsy foam.
Stairway redone with stucco in Falls Church, VA
Stucco on the stairway.
The EIFS is stripped off and replaced
with inch thick cement mortar.
Picture shows strips at the top, that is
the top is formed and filled.
The finish coat we put on was white,
and later painted to match.
My dog is inspecting the work.
EIFS done right torn off in Virginia.
The concrete is chipped up prior to stucco
              application
This EIFS was in terrible shape by the parking lot.
The concrete is chipped up prior to stucco application with a chipping hammer to assure a good bond.
solid cement mortar
              over 2 inches thick.
If a car bumps my wall, it will do more damage
              to the car..
A view of the brown coat shows where
the wall was filled out with solid cement
mortar over 2 inches thick to match the
thickness. The EIFS is put in bags to
haul away without blowing all over the place.
After a finish coat, and the wall is painted
to match, we have a decent product that
will last for years, maybe centuries.
If a car bumps my wall, it will do more damage to the car than the wall.
Trucks bumped into the wall next to
              the grocery store
several birds nests
Trucks bumped into the wall next to the
grocery store. The EIFS here was stuck
back on with orange spray foam.
There were several birds nests in the wall.
These nests were from starlings which is unusual. Most of the nests we find are
from sparrows.
We rebuilt the bands with metal
              lath and super hard cement mortar

We rebuilt the bands with metal lath and

super hard cement mortar. If a truck bumps into this wall, they will know it.
