Duffy, got your back for Erol

Weeps through the foundation/sill plate a lot of the stucco on this one terminated below grade...Doh!!!
When it does that, no screed is required, right? [-o<...and where it was above grade they skimmed some parge/base, embedded EIFS mesh and applied the top coat...for that nice consistent finished look...only problem was it was all delaminating like your shots

wanted you to feel and see the love
it ain't just in your neck of the woods
we just don't have quite as much for them to screw up

It is a good thing Dale does not get the moisture that others do around the country!

In east Texas, these houses would already be filled with water from all the hard rains and half of the poor outer coating would be washed off.

The builder told me it was some new fella in town after I asked who did it. I told the builder not to lose his phone number. Was this a full EIFS exterior or a hybrid?

This is a travesty and is what gave EIFS a bad reputation. This is exactly why we created a 7 hour DVD training program to train inspectors which is obvious you know what your doing but more importantly contractors to effectively repair these type of problems. If you ever need a repair contractor, feel free to call upon our independent MoistureFree Contractors. I hate seeing these problems. They shouldn't happen.
