Built to drain

Drainable EIFS, detailed from the sheathing out

Kennesaw keeps building. Retail pads, medical and professional offices, mixed-use projects and apartment buildings continue to go up along the I-75 corridor and around the university, and many owners still choose EIFS for its continuous insulation, light weight and flexibility in shaping cornices, bands and towers.

The modern system is a drainable one. We start with a fluid-applied or sheet weather barrier lapped and tied into every window, storefront and penetration, then install the insulation board with a drainage path behind it, embed reinforcing mesh in the base coat, and finish with the specified texture and color. Starter tracks, back-wrapped terminations and sealant joints at dissimilar materials get the same attention as the field of the wall.

On re-clad projects, we remove failed cladding, assess and replace damaged sheathing, then install the new system over a corrected substrate, so the building gets a new face and a dry wall behind 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 Kennesaw

New facades for a growing Kennesaw

From pad sites near Town Center to mixed-use and multifamily near campus, we install EIFS where Kennesaw is still building and renovating.

Many Kennesaw EIFS projects are not ground-up buildings but additions, tenant repositioning and re-clads of older centers along Barrett Parkway and Cobb Parkway. Those jobs mean tying new EIFS into existing walls, matching profiles and working next to open businesses, and we plan for that from the first site visit.

New buildings

Retail, office and multifamily projects that call for drainable EIFS over a continuous weather barrier.

Re-clads

Failed or dated cladding removed, substrate corrected and a new EIFS facade installed.

Additions & tie-ins

New EIFS joined cleanly to existing walls, with matched profiles and sealed transitions.

Questions & answers

EIFS installation FAQ for Kennesaw

Questions Kennesaw owners, developers and contractors ask about new EIFS.

Who handles permits for new EIFS work in Kennesaw?

Permits are normally pulled by the general contractor or owner for the overall project. Check with the City of Kennesaw or Cobb County building department, depending on the property’s jurisdiction, for what applies to a re-clad or addition.

Can you re-clad a building that stays open?

Yes. We phase re-clad work by elevation, protect entrances and walkways and keep tenant access open throughout.

Why drainable EIFS instead of barrier EIFS?

A drainable system gives water that gets past the finish a path back out, which protects the sheathing. It is the approach we install on new work.

Can new EIFS match an existing Kennesaw center?

Yes. We match profiles, texture and color so additions and repaired sections fit the existing facade, and prepare samples for approval.

Do Kennesaw design standards affect EIFS projects?

Some areas and developments have design or material standards, and some shopping centers have their own architectural requirements. Check with the City of Kennesaw and the property’s governing documents before finalizing the design.
