Why Only a Stucco Master Should Remove EIFS
Improper EIFS removal tears the moisture barrier and damages the sheathing before the new material goes on. Dallas removes stucco forensically β€” preserving what can be preserved, documenting everything that cannot. 40 years of stucco knowledge applied to taking it off correctly.
Why Remove Your Stucco

Five reasons Utah
homeowners go all in.

Sometimes resurfacing is the right call. Other times full removal is the smarter investment β€” especially when you want new windows, a full material change, or there is hidden damage that makes resurfacing a short-term solution.

  • β—†
    You want James Hardie siding β€” converting from stucco to Hardie requires full removal. Only a stucco master can remove EIFS properly and install Hardie with correct moisture integration.
  • β—†
    You want new windows done right β€” with stucco removed windows go in with perfect flashing integration. No 6-inch rule. No visible patches. No compromise.
  • β—†
    Hidden moisture damage β€” when infrared inspection reveals significant moisture behind the stucco resurfacing over it accelerates the damage. Removal and fresh start is the correct path.
  • β—†
    1990s EIFS without drainage plane β€” many Utah homes from this era were installed without a drainage plane. Full removal and correct reinstallation is the permanent fix.
  • β—†
    Complete exterior transformation β€” if you want to change the material, the color system, and the entire look of your home stucco removal is the starting point.

The Forensic Removal Process

Remove it right.
Or don't remove it.

Stucco removal done wrong leaves you with a damaged moisture barrier, torn sheathing, and a wall system that is compromised before the new material goes on. Dallas removes EIFS and traditional stucco forensically β€” the same precision he applies to every other element of the exterior envelope.

Workmanship Warranty β€” What Is Covered
Dallas provides a 1-year workmanship warranty on the removal work and the new system installed after. This covers the installation of the new moisture barrier, sheathing repairs, and the new stucco or Hardie system. It does not cover hidden substrate conditions that were not visible or accessible during the removal process β€” Dallas documents everything he finds on video so you know exactly what you are getting.

Professional inspection first
Infrared moisture mapping, crack assessment, system identification. Determines scope before first piece of stucco is touched. Contact for inspection pricing.
2
Score and peel removal
EIFS removed in sections using scored cuts. Preserves the sheathing and any moisture barrier that is still intact. Never demo-crew removal.

4
Structural repair
All damaged sheathing replaced. Rot repaired. Structural issues addressed before any new system goes on. No buried problems.
5
New moisture barrier installation
Fresh housewrap or building paper installed correctly. Proper drainage plane created. The foundation the new exterior system is built on.

New system installation
New stucco, Hardie siding, or combination installed on clean dry correctly prepared substrate. 1-year workmanship warranty from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stucco removal
answered.

The questions Utah homeowners ask before committing to full stucco removal.

How much does stucco removal cost in Utah?
Stucco removal alone typically costs $3 to $7 per square foot for tear-off and debris disposal. A 2,000 square foot home runs $6,000 to $14,000 for removal only. The full project β€” removal, sheathing repair, new moisture barrier, and new material installation β€” is a larger scope. Dallas provides a written itemized estimate after inspection. Call (801) 518-5030.
Can Hardie siding go directly over stucco?
In some cases yes β€” if the stucco is fully adhered and structurally sound. However Dallas typically recommends full removal for stucco-to-Hardie conversions. Removal allows sheathing inspection, proper moisture barrier installation, and correct window integration that produces a far better long-term result. He will assess your specific situation honestly.
Will stucco removal damage my home?
Done correctly by a 40-year stucco expert β€” no. Dallas removes EIFS using scored cuts that preserve the sheathing and intact moisture barrier. The damage risk comes from inexperienced crews using demo tools that tear the sheathing during removal. Dallas documents everything found during removal on video so you see exactly what is underneath before any decisions are made.
How long does stucco removal take?
Stucco removal on a typical 2,000 square foot home takes 2 to 4 days for the tear-off. Sheathing inspection and repair adds time depending on what is found. The complete project β€” removal, remediation, and new material installation β€” typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. Dallas provides a detailed schedule with every written estimate.
What warranty comes with stucco removal and reinstallation?
Dallas provides a 1-year workmanship warranty on the new system installed after removal β€” covering the new moisture barrier, sheathing repairs, and the new stucco or Hardie installation. The warranty covers workmanship defects and installation errors. It does not cover hidden substrate conditions that were not visible during removal β€” Dallas documents everything found on video so there are no surprises. Manufacturer warranties apply separately on Hardie and other materials.
