Welcome to EIFS Repair.
Exterior Insulation and Finish System / EIFS Repair
Switch to our Mobile Website The new Do it yourself EIFS Repair Kit
If you are interested in the EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) industry you will find this site engaging and full of knowledge. We have an extensive background in Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, and have no problem letting you know what we know; As, we feel, that it has been one of the short comings of the entire industry. Keeping the EIFS process a secret has not benefited any one, nor will it. We would rather, a home owner or contractor know the steps needed to complete a professional and successful EIFS project.
That is are aim here at Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems / EIFS Repair, to educate anyone that wants to know about the EIFS industry from general practices, to those little things to look for that Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems applicators just hate to do. Well, I guess it’s not really that they hate to do them, it is, that they are time consuming, and costly. And the little things are very hard to spot unless you really know what you are looking for. But those little things are what can cause havoc down the road.
Here are a few points of interest.
- Next Generation EIFS out preforms brick, concrete block, cementitious fiber board siding, and stucco study by U.S. Department of Energy
- What are the differences of a commercial application and a residential application.
- The proper way to tackle windows.
- What is kick-out flashing and where is it used.
- The Moisture Drainage System everyone is talking about.
We will not only teach you how to properly do the EIFS application, and what to watch out for, but perhaps the most important part of the site is that we will be introducing new and improved ways of doing EIFS that your applicator may not even be aware of yet. We will do our best to give as detailed instructions and shop drawings of these new techniques our Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems Guru’s come up with here at EIFS repair.
We will also go over the material including specifications and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the distributors Dyvit, Senergy and Sto.

I would like info on how efis is installed up a rake
Thanks

Butch, To install EIFS on a roof rake the important thing to remember is that you need to stay off the roof a couple inches. You never want the EIFS to come right down onto the shingles. You would go about it the same way as anywhere else. First your moisture barrier, then install your weep track, make sure your stucco wrap (moisture barrier) is tucked into the track. Then fasten your foam and apply base coat and finish as usual. One thing to make sure is that you cover the roof well, as the EIFS will be very hard to remove from the shingles if not impossible. I like to use some old carpet on the roof as it will stick to the roof and you can walk on it without it siding out, A little bit of a shag carpet is the best.
