EIFS Repair
Most minor scuffs, nicks, and surface abrasions can be touched up to match an original EIFS finish. We prefer to use the special paint like top coats offered by most EIFS manufacturers, which are intended for periodic renewal of weathered acrylic EIFS finishes. Unfortunately, manufacturers don’t usually sell these acrylic-based top coats to the general public — and they aren’t available in small quantities anyway — so the easiest approach for small repairs is to contact us or call us today for help in finding a compatible latex or elastomeric paint. With careful color-matching, minor dings should disappear under a high-quality finish
The problems with barrier EIFS cladding all stem from water intrusion. These problems include moisture accumulation in the wall cavity, subsequent wood damage and, in more advanced cases, mold growth and the infestation of pests such as carpenter ants or termites.
How do I prevent woodpecker damage to my EIFS?
Woodpecker damage to your EIFS can compromise your home’s all-important water resistant barrier. When customers call us to repair woodpecker damage they ask, “how do we stop the woodpeckers from coming back?” When it comes to woodpecker damage to EIFS System, the solutions is to apply Shieldit By Dryvit witch is woodpecker resistant coating that has been approved in industry with 10 years warranty. Shieldit is 2-Pass Base Coat Which Improves Impact Resistance and Provides Protection from Woodpecker Damage for EIFS Substrates.
Shieldlt
ShieldIt Base Coats are acrylic polymer-modified products, which are mixed in a proprietary ratio to produce two composite base coats. Together, they provide a durable layer that protects the wall from woodpecker damage. The base coats are used over the top of existing EIFS lamina in a renovation scenario or over a reinforced base coat in a new construction scenario.​
Benefits:
-
Excellent durability, adhesion
-
Protects against woodpeckers
-
Governs the thickness of each coat
The Woodpecker Problem
Woodpeckers are very territorial. They may return year after year to the same general spot. Woodpeckers damage EIFS and other types of home exteriors such as cedar windows, fascia or siding, and softer cladding materials. Damage most often appears during the breeding season, March through May. The birds peck at the EIFS for the sound, which is similar to that of a hollow tree. They do not nest in the holes they make–unfortunately, smaller birds will nest in woodpecker holes

This is why we have experts on our team that offer our removal services for every type of exterior finish.

The Uncharted Territory of Stucco Repair: How Weststar Wall Systems Ltd is Redefining the Industry
​
Stucco is not just a popular exterior finish; it plays a critical role in enhancing the look and durability of homes and commercial buildings. Yet, like anything exposed to the elements, stucco faces challenges over time. Homeowners and property managers in Calgary often find themselves needing expert help to repair and maintain this vital part of their properties. That’s where Weststar Wall Systems Ltd comes in, transforming stucco repair with their innovative solutions, including specialized services like woodpecker deterrent systems and EIFS repair.
This post delves into how Weststar Wall Systems Ltd is redefining the stucco repair landscape, showcasing their unmatched expertise in addressing various challenges that come with aging stucco exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
​
Understanding Stucco and Its Challenges
Stucco offers versatility and aesthetic appeal, making it a top choice for many homeowners. However, its durability can give a false sense of security. When stucco is damaged, repairs can be costly. Common issues include:
-
Cracks and Chipping: Over time, the surface may develop cracks, which can spell disaster if not addressed. Small cracks can lead to larger ones, and even structural damage if ignored.
-
Water Intrusion: Water can seep behind stucco, weakening the structure. In Calgary, where heavy snow and rainfall are common, this is a significant concern.
-
Pest Infestations: Insects and birds, particularly woodpeckers, can damage stucco surfaces, leading to holes that compromise integrity.
When homeowners understand the potential problems, they can prevent costly repairs before they escalate. For instance, a small crack might be an easy fix, costing around $200, but letting it worsen can lead to expenses exceeding $2,000 for extensive repairs.
