| I’ve heard that water can get behind the stucco and ruin my house, is this true? This is actually a problem with all improperly installed exterior claddings. Mile High Stucco minimizes the possibility of this happening with proper system installation including caulk and backer rod around all windows and doors and proper diverter (kick-out) flashings where appropriate. In the rare occurrence that moisture should get behind the cladding system, it will be shed by the Tyvek stucco wrap. This wrap is part of the moisture drainage system installed on every job. See industry news for more information. Do I have to paint the stucco once it’s applied? No, nor should you. The finish coats we use all have integral color for a long lasting, beautiful, maintenance free exterior. Is there a way to prevent woodpeckers from damaging my EIFS? Yes. These birds are attempting to build a nest in your home and like the "hollow" sound EIFS makes when pecked on. A very good option is to contact your local pest exterminator. They can install a ultrasonic machine that drives the birds away. Some homeowners have had success building an alternate nesting area and placing it in an inconspicuous place. Fake owls and shotguns are not appropriate solutions. |
