How to fix it?
Hi @emperorsanders5744, Thanks for your question! Fixing EIFS damage, like the kind caused by lawn mowers, can be quite complex and typically isn't a DIY job. It requires specific materials and expertise to ensure a proper and durable repair. For more information on preventing and addressing lawn care damage, you can check out this blog post on my website: EIFS Stucco Lawn Care Damage eifsrepair.info/eifs-stucco-lawncare-damage/ . It provides insights into the importance of professional repair and tips for preventing future damage. If you need any help with repairs, feel free to reach out. I'm here to help! Best regards, Corey Turcotte
BS... EIFS can be fixed easy with the same texture in a sealed bucked. Spray nitrogen into the bucket and seal well. Using RED poly tape sold at home improvement stores, mask the area and use as a guide. Razor or scissors work great. Sand or cut back any treated fiberglass around damage like a woodpecker hole. Spray with insulation foam and squirt water to stop action. Sand, cut or grind with 1/2" X 10 belt sander, to just below surface. Apply concrete bonding additive to area with a brush. Taking OEM EIFS and trowel or drywall hopper to spray thin light coats to cover. Trowel or rubber float to achieve texture to match. Exterior grade resin/binder is the product they add color to at home improvement stores. Add some to your bucket if getting thick. Mine has lasted years and a clean seal & nitrogen sold at welding supply shops have a return exchange regardless of how much you use or length of time you have had it. This has lasted 26 years before woodpeckers came to town.
Responding to comments, especially critical ones, can be challenging but also offers an opportunity to engage constructively with your audience. Here's a suggested response that acknowledges the commenter's input, reinforces your expertise, and opens the door for further discussion: Hi @deankay4434, Thank you for sharing your detailed method for repairing EIFS stucco. It's always interesting to hear about different approaches, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain yours. In my experience, the techniques I demonstrate in my videos have been consistently effective for a wide range of repairs, ensuring long-lasting results that align with industry standards. While your method is indeed unconventional, it's great to know it has worked well for you over the years. Every project can have unique challenges, and sometimes innovative solutions like yours can be quite useful. However, for those who might not have access to all the specific materials you mentioned or prefer to follow more conventional techniques, I believe my methods offer a reliable alternative. If you're open to it, I would love to learn more about your process and any additional insights you have. Perhaps we could even discuss this further in a future video or blog post to provide a broader perspective to our community. Thanks again for your input! Best regards, Corey Turcotte
@@CoreyTurcotte True their are many ways to skin a cat. We get a solid 6 months of freezing and wild fires out West, have pushed woodpecker East and make the wife unhappy. You know the saying. I have had every lumbar procedures know to man and have had 7 days of relief scattered over 12 years, making raising the ladder the worst. Wife sold scaffolding at garage sale. I find myself in depression and sometimes mad hiding in the garage. Use what works as I bought some 28oz. treated fiberglass to place under cementitaious coat treated with adhesive promoter. Then finish. Deer fence is cheap and laid on cardboard, I use a roller & paint to match the field, both sides. When SS stapled two inches away from the wall on bottom of soffit (touch-up staples) it becomes invisible. The birds hate it as it is like coated fishing line with 1/4" squares. I cut 1/2" PVC white pipe creating 4 quarters and simply weaved it across the bottom for wind control. I have never heard any noise and too lite to leave a mark. The birds can't grab the wall as the invisible fence keeps moving. I guess it's better than ballon's, CD's, foil or plastic owls. lol. Looking for a Dr who wants more money! Have a lucky one!
This is such a brilliant comment thank you for taking the time out and responding with helpful information… we just bought a house with EFIS and was dreading how to repair Some area as in our area EFIS is not that common and the repairs quoted are in thousands of dollars 😢 would you be able to list the materials used here ? Thank you again for your time!!
@@2cents859 Use Deer Netting painted on cardboard or plastic the same color as the field. Let it drive and paint other side. Using 3/8" PVC tubing, cut in quarters. Weave this thru bottom and staple under soffit 2" away from wall. This moves and spooks birds as deer netting is 1/4" squares like fishing mono-filament encapsulated in a plastic polymer. Very light weight and when folded, staple to soffit to keeps woodpeckers of wall. Making repairs is aggravating, costly and slightly. But in this era of having a thermos bottle type insulation adding R14 to exterior walls reduce energy bills by 2/3rds and sound by 3/4. Then these birds that have a tongue that wraps around their brain and exits on the bottom. It acts as a muscle to aid in pecking. This action is for eating, nesting and attracting a mate. I am trying to stop two of three.
Bad EIFS to start if it peels that easy. I had to use a 3/4" X 10" belt sander over my foam, bonding agent sold by the quart from home improvement store, smooth, spray finish. I spray nitrogen into my half full buckets of finish for cold storage in room off garage, then add exterior latex resin/binder sold at home improvement my top coat. Trowel on or spray with drywall hopper and work with trowel and rubber float. The cold temp with no oxygen, stirred vigorously with 1/2" drill will last years with a clean bucket seal. No problems yet. I was scolded by some reader about the woodpecker being a Federal Protected migratory bird. Western fires & smoke have driven East as I never had this for 24 years. My "Daisy" BB rifle didn't know that.
Hi @deankay4434, Thanks for sharing your method. It’s always interesting to hear different approaches to EIFS repair. I'm glad you've found a system that works for you. In my experience, using specialized tools and materials designed specifically for EIFS tends to provide more reliable and long-lasting results. Regarding the woodpeckers, it’s true that many species are protected, including some in Michigan. There are humane ways to prevent bird damage that are both effective and environmentally friendly, which I cover in my blog as well. If you're interested, I’ve written a blog post on dealing with bird damage that might offer some useful tips here. eifsrepair.info/battling-bird-damage-eifs-stucco-repair-southeastern-michigan/ Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. I’m here to help! Best, Corey
Corey, Your videos are so well produced, not sure if you are in the EIFS biz or video production.
Hi @DetroitHomeInspector, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I've been in the EIFS business for 30 years, and I strive to share my knowledge and experience in a way that's both informative and engaging. Your feedback means a lot and motivates me to keep improving the content. If you ever have any questions about EIFS or specific topics you'd like me to cover in future videos, feel free to let me know! Best regards, Corey Turcotte
Do you do any video production work for InterNACHI ????
Hi @DetroitHomeInspector, Thanks for your interest! I haven't done any video production work for InterNACHI, but it's great to know that my videos have caught your attention. I do all my video production work myself and don't outsource anything. It's been a heck of a learning experience, combining my 30 years of EIFS stucco repair expertise with video production to share valuable content. If you have any specific topics or questions about EIFS that you'd like me to address, feel free to let me know. I'm always open to new ideas for content! Best regards, Corey Turcotte
Nice videos. I am a home inspector and near you. Would like to get together sometime and make a vid about what home inspectors can look for on EIFS buildings.
Hi @DetroitHomeInspector, Thank you for the compliment on my videos! I'm glad to hear you're nearby and interested in collaborating. It would be fantastic to get together and create some quality content about what home inspectors can look for on EIFS buildings. Feel free to reach out to me directly so we can discuss the details and set something up. Looking forward to it! Best regards, Corey Turcotte
@@CoreyTurcotte Sounds good. I used to teach construction at Roseville high school, and we are setting up some training for home inspectors and would like that.
Much of this is simply sales BS. How durable is 1” of rigid foam covered with a thin fiberglass mesh imbedded into the base coat with a very thin finish coat layer? How well will that hold up to abuse from things like lawn mowers and string trimmers?
Hi @ernieforrest7218, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. It's true that standard EIFS can have durability issues in high-traffic areas or where there's a lot of physical impact. In such cases, using heavy mesh is a great solution to enhance strength and resilience. I also recommend using cultured stone or brick at grade level, which is a common practice to protect against damage from lawn mowers and string trimmers. I've written a detailed blog post about using heavy mesh in EIFS applications, which you can check out here: EIFS Heavy Mesh eifsrepair.info/eifs-heavy-mesh/ . I hope this addresses some of your concerns and provides useful information. If you have any further questions or need more details, feel free to ask! Best regards, Corey Turcotte
What do you use for base and finish coats.
We do repairs so most of the time it depends on what was originally used. We do our best to match the existing. The top coat is much easier to match if you do.
@@CoreyTurcotteway to not answer the question
Soooo... your entire video says to hire a EIFS stucco professional when replacing windows? Over and over and over again. Uh. Thanks. BTW, shouldn't the drainage have vertical channels instead of a mesh that can keep water from draining? (seen in a drawing)
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and share your thoughts. I apologize if the message came across as repetitive; my primary goal is to stress the importance of hiring an EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) professional when replacing windows. From my 30 years of experience in EIFS stucco repairs, I've often seen projects get complicated because an EIFS specialist was not involved from the start. Regarding your question about drainage, it seems there may be some confusion. The mesh in the drawing is not intended for drainage; it's actually a fiberglass mesh that is embedded in the basecoat to provide structural integrity. Vertical ribs on the back side of the foam are created using a notch trowel to create natural drainage channels, as depicted in the drawing. I appreciate your engagement and hope this clears up any misunderstandings. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
@@CoreyTurcotte Thank you for clarifying! I have a "EIFS" installation on my house that is rotting away. But when I cut away some caulk to dry an area out after a freak rainstom had water arcing over a walkway and down into a covered area with gaps, I discovered there was no foam seen, but instead was like a pegboard that the stucco was attached to, and it was rotting away. I have to figure out how to replace this mess and deal with windows that are recessed slightly behind this very thin layer. Someone also told me that EIFS for homes was not being covered by insurance now. Not sure if that's true, but not a good sign for the industry if true. Again, thank you for taking time to clarify.
Awesome Content
Thanks, I am glad someone is getting value out of it. It’s surprising how much time and effort goes into one of these short videos. 👍
Great 👍
Thank you! Cheers!

Look at that!! This is some of the worst damage I have ever seen! And to think this all could have been prevented. Guys, cut your fkn trees!
You would be surprised at how many customers let the trees grow wild
U using cheap stucco..gotta use California Stucco..they in jersey but they'll ship anywhere
California stucco works great in warmer climates but 30 freeze thaw cycles every year is not ideal for traditional stucco as it turns out
I have never seen it so bad.! 😮 😅
The vines that grow right into the synthetic stucco is even worse.

Also this video assumes that there will always be damage.
It is suggesting that you inspect the stucco before you make a huge investment
Isn't all stucco synthetic,
Traditional Stucco is much different than synthetic stucco
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
