What are the different types of rainscreen?
Rainscreen assemblies can use different cladding and control-layer configurations, including EIFS with drainage, stucco systems, exterior wall panels, and air or weather barrier combinations. The appropriate arrangement depends on the specified wall design, project conditions, drainage strategy, and finish requirements. Century Contracting Corporation installs EIFS, stucco, air and weather barriers, and exterior wall panels for commercial projects.
What is a rainscreen stucco system?
A rainscreen stucco system is an exterior wall assembly designed to manage water and air around the building envelope while providing a finished stucco surface. It typically coordinates drainage, air and weather control, insulation, reinforcement, and finish layers according to the specified system. Proper installation helps support moisture management, exterior durability, and the intended architectural appearance.
Is rainscreen stucco suitable for commercial buildings?
Rainscreen stucco can be suitable for commercial buildings when the assembly is properly designed, specified, and installed. It may support exterior durability, moisture management, energy performance, and architectural flexibility. Century Contracting Corporation works with general contractors, architects, developers, and property managers on commercial EIFS, stucco, barrier, and cladding installations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
Can Century Contracting install the air and weather barrier too?
Yes. Century Contracting Corporation provides fluid-applied and sheet air and weather barrier installation as part of its exterior wall services. These systems are intended to help address air leakage and moisture intrusion while supporting the building envelope. Barrier work can be coordinated with EIFS, stucco, stone, and exterior wall panel installations based on the project’s specified assembly.
Does Century Contracting work on existing buildings?
Yes. The company serves property managers and owners of existing commercial buildings that need failing stucco, EIFS, or stone facades repaired, recoated, or replaced. Project requirements vary according to existing wall conditions, the specified repair approach, and the desired finish. Century Contracting can coordinate exterior wall scope for renovations, restorations, retrofits, and repair projects.
Who typically hires a rainscreen stucco installer?
Commercial general contractors, architects, developers, and property managers commonly engage rainscreen stucco installers. General contractors may need a qualified subcontractor to bid and self-perform envelope scopes, while architects may seek installation guidance for specified assemblies. Property managers can require repair, recoating, or replacement of existing EIFS, stucco, or stone facades.
Does Century Contracting provide project estimating?
Yes. Rob Lobi, Jr. leads estimating and supports project scoping for Century Contracting Corporation. The company develops proposals for commercial exterior wall work involving EIFS, stucco, stone, air and weather barriers, and wall panels.

Does the company offer warranty coverage on installations?

The applicable warranty relates to the company’s installation work and should be reviewed alongside the project contract, specified system requirements, and manufacturer provisions. Clients can discuss warranty expectations and project-specific documentation during the proposal and contracting process.
