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.
