Commercial EIFS Installation in Alpharetta

The wall behind the foam decides how EIFS performs

EIFS is still a practical cladding for Alpharetta commercial projects: it adds continuous insulation, it is light enough for additions and re-clads over existing walls, and it can be shaped into the cornices, bands and reveals that architects use to give a building character. The systems that failed on older buildings did so because water had no way out. Drainable EIFS answers that with a weather-resistive barrier on the sheathing and a drainage path behind the insulation board.

We install to the manufacturer’s published details. That means a continuous barrier lapped correctly at every opening, flashing at window heads and sills, backwrapped or properly terminated edges, starter tracks that let water drain at the base and at floor lines, expansion joints where the structure moves, and sealant joints sized and primed so they last.

On re-clads of existing Alpharetta office and retail buildings, the work starts with the existing wall: removing failed cladding, repairing or replacing sheathing, and correcting window and roof-to-wall flashing before the new system goes on. On new construction we coordinate with the general contractor and the other envelope trades so the sequence supports the details.
