Brett provides a brief overview of Exterior Insulated Fastening Systems, or EIFS (pronounced ee-fiss). This synthetic stucco has some unique challenges when working flashing and kickouts, so check your codes and enlist the help of a good mason or AWCI certified specialist if there's a significant amount of work involved.

EIFS systems also are known to have trouble at windows, so if your client mentions air or water leaks at the window, you likely have a sealant problem involving the EIFS. This is not always an easy fix, so get the right people involved from the start.
