Recladding, Refinishing, and Exterior Renovation
Recladding is the process of removing the existing exterior cladding (EIFS, cedar, etc.) from a home and replacing it with a new facade in brick, stone, stucco, cedar, Hardie Board or a combination of these materials.
Reasons homeowners decide to reclad:
- Existing EIFS exterior has extensive damage and repairs are costly
- Concerns with EIFS exterior in regards to future repair and maintenance issues and costs over the lifetime of the home.
- Increase marketability of home that currently has an EIFS exterior. Reduce days on market and increase market value of home.
- Desire to give the home a “face-lift” – improve the curb appeal by adding stone or brick to update the look of an older home.
- When the cost differential between repairing the existing EIFS exterior and recladding the home are evaluated and recladding makes more sense
