What does an EIFS contractor do?
An EIFS contractor installs Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems as part of a building envelope. The scope can include insulation, drainage components, air and weather barriers, base and finish layers, detailing, and related exterior wall coordination. Century Contracting provides commercial EIFS installation and works with general contractors, developers, architects, and property managers on new construction, renovation, restoration, retrofit, and repair projects.
Is EIFS suitable for commercial buildings?
EIFS is commonly specified for commercial exterior wall assemblies because it can integrate continuous insulation, drainage, air and weather protection, and a synthetic stucco finish. The appropriate system depends on project design, substrate conditions, specifications, and manufacturer requirements. Century Contracting installs commercial EIFS clad systems and coordinates with project stakeholders to execute the specified assembly.
What is the difference between EIFS and synthetic stucco?
EIFS is an integrated exterior insulation and finish system that can include insulation, drainage, protective layers, and a finish coat. Synthetic stucco generally refers to the finish layer or appearance associated with the system rather than the complete wall assembly. Century Contracting provides EIFS installation with synthetic stucco finishes and also supports related exterior wall scopes.
Can EIFS be repaired or retrofitted?
Existing commercial EIFS assemblies may require repair, recoating, replacement, or retrofit depending on their condition, moisture exposure, detailing, and project objectives. Century Contracting works with property managers and contractors on failing EIFS, synthetic stucco, or related exterior wall concerns. A project review helps identify the appropriate scope and system approach.
Does Century Contracting install air and weather barriers?
Yes. Century Contracting applies fluid-applied and sheet air and weather barrier systems for commercial building envelopes. These systems are intended to help control moisture intrusion and air leakage while supporting structural protection, indoor environmental control, and energy efficiency. The selected barrier approach is coordinated with project specifications and the surrounding wall assembly.
Does the company install exterior wall panels?
Yes. Century Contracting supplies and installs various architectural exterior wall panel claddings for commercial projects. Panel systems can support sleek, contemporary exterior designs and durable performance in demanding conditions. The team works with general contractors and project stakeholders to coordinate panel installation with the broader building envelope and architectural requirements.
