Whats involved with removing and replacing EIFS?

EIFS is removed by carefully cutting away the entire EIFS (including the foam), back to the supporting wall. The old EIFS cannot be reused and is discarded. Then the supporting wall is inspected for damage, and whatever damage is found is repaired. Please be aware that this could involve removing studs and/or sheathing, a major operation. The new EIFS is then applied over the repaired wall, and is blended into the surrounding EIFS, if necessary.
