T-BONE  Designs, C J Campisi
Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) as well as conventional stucco systems, require proper detailing and workmanship in order to guarantee enduring performance and longevity.  As consultants we ensure that these applications are correctly designed and specified, whether pre-fabricated or built in place.  As inspectors we ensure that these installations are installed in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and project specifications.  We have extensive     experience with virtually all major manufacturers including STO, Dryvit, Senergy, Parex, Decoplast and many others.  When a previously installed wall system fails we are routinely called upon to determine the probable cause and to recommend a workable solution.  We perform both invasive and non-invasive moisture testing of  underlying substrates as well.  Our extensive experience with these installations enables us to find problems that evade most investigations.
