What the homeowner was dealing with

Framing deficiencies with uneven and bumpy walls

The outcome

Completed installation of a CCMC-approved drainage EIFS system designed for Ontario climate conditions

Clean, consistent exterior finish across all elevations

Custom finish delivered in the homeowner's selected colour and texture.

02 - SCOPE OF WORK

What was actually done

No subcontracting — every stage below was carried out by our certified installers, start to finish.

03 - CHALLENGES

What we ran into on site

Narrow side opening

The home was in the construction phase with exterior sheathing already installed and prepared for the exterior cladding system. We had to a lot of corrections on the exterior sheathing.

Inadequate framing

A 3-foot gap between the house and the fence line limited scaffolding options on the east elevation, requiring a staged ladder-and-platform approach

Coordination with window/door company

Work had to be carefully sequenced around framing completion, window installation timing, and coordination with other trades working on the building envelope to ensure proper integration of the stucco system.

04 - technical SOLUTION

How we overcome these challenges

Correcting the wall irregularities

After the insulation was installed, we rasped all the insulation and got rid of any uneven areas on the walls that were caused by inadequate framing

Working with the limited access

To safely complete the north elevation, we used a narrow scaffold which is 24 inches wide, allowing our installers to maintain quality workmanship despite the restricted working space

Selecting the right EIFS system

We installed a CCMC-approved Durock PUCCS drainage system and coordinated closely with the general contractor ensure property integration with windows and flashing. The drainage design allows incidental moisture to move downward and exit the wall assembly, supporting effective moisture management.
