Cumming commercial stucco & EIFS. Property managers, boards, owners & builders.
Sequence the envelope before the schedule slips
On a busy Forsyth County job site, the cladding is where schedule pressure and envelope quality collide. Framing and sheathing run late, windows arrive early, the roofer needs the parapets, and everyone wants the scaffolding gone. When the weather barrier, window flashing and roof-to-wall details are not sequenced around that pressure, laps run backward and the building leaks before it is leased.
We plan our package around the trades that touch the wall. Before mobilizing, we walk the details with the superintendent: window and storefront flashing, roof-to-wall and kick-out flashing, parapet caps, through-wall penetrations and transitions to brick, stone and siding. We build a mockup when the specifications call for one, and we tie our weather barrier into the work of the other trades so responsibility is clear.
We bid from plans and specifications on multifamily buildings, retail and mixed-use, office and medical work, and hospitality projects. Our crews work hard coat stucco and drainable EIFS, and we can carry glass-mat sheathing details when the GC wants one trade responsible for the wall.

Hard coat or EIFS for your project
Most commercial projects are specified for either three-coat portland cement stucco or a drainable EIFS, and some use both on different elevations. Hard coat stucco is a dense, impact-resistant cement finish built over a weather barrier, lath and weep screed. EIFS adds a layer of insulation board behind a reinforced base coat and finish, and makes larger foam profiles and cornices practical.
Whichever system is specified, the parts that decide whether the wall stays dry are the same: a continuous weather barrier, flashing at windows, parapets and roof-to-wall transitions, control or expansion joints where the design calls for them, and sealant at every termination. When we review your documents, we point out details that conflict with the system manufacturer’s requirements so they can be resolved before the bid is final, not during construction.
| System | Build-up | Often used on |
|---|---|---|
| Three-coat stuccoHard coat | Barrier, lath, scratch, brown, finish | Ground floors, high-traffic walls |
| Drainable EIFS | Barrier, insulation board, mesh, finish | Upper floors, large elevations |
| Foam profilesCornices, bands | Shaped foam, base coat, finish | Parapets, towers, accents |
| Combined facadesStucco and EIFS | Each system to its own spec | Mixed-use and retail |
From bid documents to final punch list
A facade crew that shows up when the wall is ready and leaves it ready for the next trade keeps your schedule intact.

Apartments & Multifamily
Building-by-building envelope repair for apartment communities, with work planned around residents.
Learn moreConstruction realities in a growing county
New apartment, retail, office and medical projects around Cumming bring their own site and scheduling conditions.
Graded sites in red clay mean mud at the base of the wall and splashback on fresh finishes, so we protect weep screeds and lower courses until paving and landscaping are done. Multi-building apartment projects need crews that can leapfrog from building to building as framing releases. Summer heat and the occasional winter freeze both limit when base and finish coats can go on, and we build those windows into the schedule rather than discovering them.
Multifamily phasing
Building-by-building sequencing that follows framing and dry-in on large apartment sites.
Weather windows
Application timed to temperature and humidity limits through Georgia summers and cold snaps.
Submittals and mockups
