Moisture Problems

Your siding holds secrets within itself: trapped moisture. When moisture underneath siding is left untreated, it leads to quick invasion of unruly home molds. A Cut Above Exteriors’ EIFS has an effective insulation board to prevent moisture build-up.

Fading Paint

The rich color of your siding won’t stay the same over time. It is highly prone to paint chipping and fading from heavy rainfall and everyday weather. Even strong siding types, like cedar siding may experience color fading. The EIFS combats paint fading with a synthetic base coat. This coating is applied on top of the insulation board and reinforced with fiberglass mesh.

Cracks Due to Aging

When your siding has aged, it grows more and more vulnerable to major damage like cracking and bending. When your siding suffers cracks, there are no repair options available. You’ll need to replace it with the exact siding material or it will compromise your curb appeal. Luckily, the EIFS has a finish coat resembling stucco, apart from imparting a durable and crack-resistant finish to your siding.

The state of your siding is proportional how well you maintain it. The EIFS serves as a protective barrier, but when paired with proper maintenance, your siding will remain durable for a long time.
