Built to drain

New EIFS for a repositioning market

A lot of commercial work in Peachtree Corners is not ground-up. Owners are updating office buildings to compete for tenants, adding entry features to aging retail, and re-cladding elevations whose original finish has run its course. EIFS suits that work: it adds continuous insulation, it is light enough to go over existing structure, and it can be shaped into the bands, reveals and profiles that make an older building look current.

What separates a good installation from the barrier walls of past decades is everything under the finish. We install a fluid-applied or sheet weather-resistive barrier over the sheathing, flash windows, doors and penetrations before the foam goes on, and use a drainage plane so incidental water has a path back out. Board is set and rasped flat, mesh is embedded fully in the base coat, and corners and high-traffic areas get reinforcing mesh.

We coordinate with the window, roofing and sealant trades so terminations, transitions and joints are detailed the way the system was designed. For re-clads, we survey the existing substrate first and repair anything wet before new EIFS covers it.

What goes into the wall

Every layer of a commercial EIFS facade

Each layer has a job. Skip one and the facade leaks, cracks at the openings or fails at its edges.

Weather-resistive barrier

A liquid-applied or sheet barrier over the sheathing, lapped into window, storefront and roof flashing, is the facade’s real waterproofing.

The layer that keeps it dry

Drainage & adhesive

Insulation board is set in vertical ribbons of adhesive so water behind the foam drains down and out at the base of the wall.

A path out for water

Insulation board

Foam board fitted tight, staggered at corners, rasped flat and kept clear of grade, sidewalks and paving.

Continuous insulation

Mesh & base coat

Reinforcing mesh fully embedded in the base coat, with diagonal patches at openings and heavier impact mesh at entrances and ground-floor walls.

Strength where traffic hits

Sealant joints & terminations

Expansion joints at floor lines and sealant with backer rod where EIFS meets windows, storefronts, copings and other cladding.

Joints planned, not added

Cornices, bands & profiles

Foam cornices, banding, window surrounds and parapet caps shaped and coated as part of the same system, with sloped tops.

Architectural detail

Which cladding?

Choosing EIFS or hard coat stucco

Both can deliver the same look, but they are built differently. Drainable EIFS is lighter, adds continuous insulation outside the framing and makes cornices, bands and architectural shapes easy to form in foam. Hard coat stucco is harder at the surface and stands up better to carts, bikes and vehicles at ground level. Many commercial buildings use both: hard coat or impact-reinforced EIFS at the base and standard EIFS above.

We walk owners, architects and general contractors through the trade-offs, including how the wall meets windows, storefronts, roofs and other cladding such as fiber cement. If three-coat stucco is the better fit for part of the building, we install that too.

Our process

How a commercial EIFS installation comes together

Schedules depend on wall area, access, weather and cure time between coats. We set the sequence with you or your general contractor before mobilizing.

Review & sequence

We review drawings and the specified system, flag flashing and joint details that need answers, and sequence our work with the window, storefront and roofing trades.

Details reviewed early
Trade sequencing set
Access planned by elevation

Barrier, flashing & board

We check the sheathing, apply the weather-resistive barrier, flash openings and roof lines, then set insulation board in drainable adhesive and rasp it flat.

Sheathing checked first
Kick-outs at roof lines
Foam kept above grade

Base, finish & seal

Mesh is embedded in the base coat, the finish goes on in continuous sections, and sealant joints are installed at every termination.

Openings reinforced
Finish without lap lines
Sealant with backer rod

Bidding a project or planning a re-clad?

Bring us in before the walls are closed up. Flashing, joint and window details are easiest and cheapest to get right on paper.

New EIFS in Peachtree Corners

Where new EIFS goes in Peachtree Corners

Most of our EIFS installation requests here fall into three types of project.

Whether the job is a new pad building on Peachtree Parkway, an addition on an office campus or a re-clad of a dated facade along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, the order of operations is the same: confirm the substrate, build the weather barrier and flashing, then install the system. We also check early whether the project needs design approval from the city so finish colors and profiles are settled before materials are ordered.

Office repositioning

New entry towers, bands and recladding on office buildings competing for tenants.

Additions & infill

EIFS on additions tied cleanly into existing walls, flashing and joints.

Retail facade updates

New towers, parapet features and sign bands for updated shopping centers and pad sites.

Questions & answers

EIFS installation FAQ for Peachtree Corners projects

Questions owners, architects and general contractors ask before an EIFS installation.

What is drainable EIFS?

It is EIFS installed over a weather-resistive barrier with a drainage plane, so water that gets past the finish or a joint can drain out instead of soaking the sheathing. It is the standard approach for new commercial work.

Can EIFS go over our existing facade?

Sometimes. It depends on the existing material, its condition and whether it is dry. We survey the wall first; wet or damaged substrate has to be repaired or removed before a new system is installed over it.

Does a facade re-clad in Peachtree Corners need a permit or design review?

A re-clad usually involves permits, and appearance changes may be reviewed by the city, particularly in and around the Town Center. Check with the City of Peachtree Corners and the Gwinnett County building department early so approvals do not hold up the schedule.

Do you work as a subcontractor to general contractors?

Yes. We price from drawings and specifications, provide submittals and mockups, and coordinate our sequence with the window, roofing and sealant trades.

How is EIFS installation priced?

By system, area, detailing, access and schedule. Profiles, reveals and trim add labor; lifts or scaffolding add access cost. You get an itemized written quote.
