Alpharetta commercial stucco & EIFS. Property managers, boards, owners & builders.
A clean facade can still be wet inside
Alpharetta has an active market for office, retail and multifamily assets, and buildings change hands and refinance often. A visual walk-through catches cracks, stains and failed sealant, but stucco and EIFS can look sound while the sheathing behind them is soaked. That hidden condition is what drives the real cost of an envelope repair.
Our inspections measure it. We take moisture probe readings where leaks are most likely: below window corners, at storefront and door perimeters, at parapets, roof-to-wall transitions, deck and balcony connections, and at penetrations for lights, signs and mechanical lines. Where a reported leak has no obvious source, we water test individual details until it reproduces. Every reading is located on the elevation and documented with photos.
The report separates active water intrusion from aging and cosmetic conditions and outlines a repair scope by elevation. Buyers use it in due diligence, lenders and asset managers use it for capital planning, and condo and HOA boards use it to support reserve decisions. If you proceed, the same findings become the basis for an itemized repair or EIFS restoration quote.

Envelope inspections in Alpharetta
Every survey follows the same idea: test where water gets in, record what we find, and explain it in plain language.
Moisture probe surveys
Probe readings at high-risk locations across each elevation, recorded by location; each hole is sealed afterward.
Water testing
Controlled water applied to a window, storefront, joint or flashing confirms whether that detail is the leak path before anything is opened.
Due diligence surveys
Condition of the stucco or EIFS envelope documented for buyers and lenders before an acquisition or refinance closes.
Reserve study support
Condition findings by elevation that help condo and HOA boards and their reserve specialists plan envelope work over time.
System identification
We confirm whether the wall is hard coat stucco, barrier EIFS or drainable EIFS, because that decides how it is repaired.
Pre-repair baselines
A documented baseline before a repair, recoat or sealant program is scoped, so the scope is built from evidence.
Choosing the right level of testing
Not every building needs the same depth. A visual survey can spot failed sealant, open parapet caps, missing flashing and cladding run below grade, but it can’t tell you whether the sheathing is wet. Probing answers that. Water testing goes one step further and proves which detail is letting water in.
For an acquisition, a refinance or a reserve study, a probe survey across representative areas of every elevation is usually the right level. If a tenant has reported a leak in one location, a focused survey of that area may be enough. We recommend the level that fits your decision and quote it in writing before we start.
| Survey | Best for | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Visual survey | Routine check, budgeting | Details to watch |
| Focused probing | One reported leak or stain | Extent of damage |
| Building-wide probing | Due diligence, reserves | Moisture map by elevation |
| Water testing | Leak with unclear source | Leak path confirmed |
How an envelope survey works
We coordinate access, tenant notice and any lift or ladder work with you before the survey day.
Walk & identify
We walk every elevation, identify the stucco or EIFS system, and note sealant, flashing, parapets, penetrations and clearance at the base.
- System identified
- Risk areas marked
- Visible defects photographed
Probe & test
Probe holes go in at the marked locations and readings are recorded. Where needed, we water test a detail to confirm the leak path.
- Readings by location
- Holes sealed afterward
- Water tests where needed
Report & review
You get a written report with readings, photos and findings by elevation, and we review it with you, your board or your lender’s consultant.
- Photos of each issue
- Urgent vs. planned items
- Repair options if needed

Pre-purchase surveys
Envelope condition and moisture findings for buyers during the due diligence window.
Reserve planning
Condo and HOA boards get elevation-by-elevation findings to plan and fund repairs.
Leak investigations
Water testing to pin down a recurring leak before anyone opens the wall.
