Thank you all for watching this free crash course on repairing EIFS with traditional stucco.
Now you know, have a wonderful day!
FYI, I try to explain what we’re doing in easy-to-understand terminology so that even my dear old granddad can understand what I’m talking about. If ole pops can, surely you can too.
That’s correct, folks; in this video, we’re showing how to repair EIFS or external styrofoam stucco and how to repair the other side, sheetrock. Why, Because we can.
What is EIFS? Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system. In Europe, systems similar to EIFS are known as External Wall Insulation Systems (EWIS) and External Thermal Insulation Cladding System (ETICS).
It’s similar to Dry-Vit or the Stow stucco systems, both of which I have also done a lot of.
How to repair small vent holes in interior drywall and exterior stucco
Howdy, guys and gals; in this video, I show and explain step by step how we repair the interior plaster and the exterior stucco.
They removed a failing instant hot water heater and returned to the original water heater, thus no longer needing the vent hole.

Hello, didn't do what?

where in the world are there styrofoam houses ??
Howdy Chuck, this stucco system happens to be a Dry Vit system. First the paper goes over the wood sheathing, and then the Styrofoam is placed over the weather barrier backing, with wire mesh or fiber mesh, then the Dryvit stucco system. It’s very popular all over the country. We did allot of this stucco system when I was a union plasterer in the late 80s and early 90s.
Best wishes and have a groovy evening.

Capt., do you use the same trowel for the stucco & plaster?
Good morning JM, I usually use my swimming pool trowel for the majority of projects inside and out.
I do have about 15 various size regular rectangle trowels from my small finishing stainless steel trowels to my midget trowels. They range in size from 5 inches long to 22 inches long by 5 inch wide.
The average trowel is a 12X5 for plastering. But this seems like a toy after you learn to plaster well.
Thanks for watching and have a good weekend!
