Duluth commercial stucco & EIFS. Property managers, boards, owners & builders.
Facade decisions a board can defend to owners
For a Duluth condominium board, stucco and EIFS problems arrive in a familiar way: a unit owner reports a leak, then another, and the management company asks whether this is a repair or the start of a much larger project. The board needs an answer it can take to owners and fit into the reserve plan.
We start with facts. We survey the buildings, take moisture readings at windows, balconies, sliding doors and roof-to-wall details, and water test where owners have reported leaks. Our written report shows readings and photos by building and elevation, and our scope separates work that protects the structure now from maintenance and appearance items that can be scheduled later.
Common condominium scopes include balcony and breezeway repairs, sealant replacement at windows and doors, sheathing replacement where water has done damage, and a full-community recoat that brings every building to the same color and condition. We phase buildings to match the association's funding and keep residents informed through management.
Common condominium envelope problems
The conditions condo boards and community managers ask us to look at most often.
Balcony leaks
Water entering at balcony ledgers, railing posts and the joint where the deck meets the wall, often showing in the unit below.
Breezeways & stairwells
Cracked and stained walls in open breezeways and stair towers that see rain, foot traffic and moving day.
Wet sheathing
Sheathing and framing behind stucco or EIFS that has stayed wet at windows, joints and terminations.
Failed sealant joints
Hardened, split sealant at windows, doors, expansion joints and penetrations across every building.
Cracks & base-of-wall damage
Cracking at corners and openings, and deterioration where the wall finish meets paving and grade.
Faded, patched elevations
Years of spot repairs and chalky finishes that make a community look older than it is.
What condo projects usually include

Owner reporting water in a unit?
Call us. A water test usually finds the entry point so the immediate leak can be stopped before the board plans the larger repair.
Communities of different ages and styles
Duluth's condominium and HOA communities range from older garden-style buildings to newer stucco-front attached buildings near downtown.
Older communities often have barrier EIFS or hard coat stucco with original sealant now well past its life, and balconies where water has worked into the framing. Newer condominium buildings near downtown Duluth and along the main corridors tend to have more complex rooflines and more wall-to-roof transitions to keep dry. Both benefit from a survey before the next reserve update.
Reserve-ready data
Condition findings by building and elevation that a reserve specialist can price from.
Balconies & breezeways
Leaks at balcony ledgers, rail posts and door thresholds traced and repaired.
Owner communication
Schedules and notices prepared with management so owners know when crews arrive.
