Services
Stucco Installation
Our stucco installation combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials for durable, low-maintenance exteriors. We offer both conventional cement-based and acrylic polymer-modified stucco systems that provide superior water resistance and color retention. The three-coat application process ensures structural integrity while allowing customization through various textures and finishes. Residential and commercial clients benefit from enhanced curb appeal and energy efficiency through improved insulation properties.
EIFS Systems
Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) provide energy-efficient cladding with aesthetic versatility. Our certified installers apply multi-layer systems that combine insulation, water-resistant barriers, and acrylic finishes. These systems offer R-value improvements up to 55% while maintaining architectural flexibility through customizable shapes and textures. We ensure proper installation of mechanical fasteners and water-resistive barriers to meet Calgary's climate challenges and building code requirements.
Woodpecker Repair
Specialized woodpecker damage repair utilizes Dryvit Shieldit technology to restore EIFS integrity while preventing future incidents. Our two-coat application system creates 175x greater impact resistance and deters birds through altered surface characteristics. Repairs include substrate restoration and color-matched acrylic finishes. The 10-year manufacturer warranty covers both structural protection and aesthetic maintenance for commercial and residential properties in Calgary's bird-prone areas.
Building Envelope Remediation
Comprehensive building envelope solutions address moisture intrusion, insulation failures, and structural weaknesses. Our process includes diagnostic testing, root cause analysis, and integrated repairs of flashings, waterproof membranes, and interface details. We specialize in remediation of window/door systems and balcony waterproofing while maintaining energy efficiency standards. Commercial clients benefit from reduced energy costs through improved thermal performance and air infiltration control.
EPS Molding
Expanded polystyrene molding creates custom architectural details for exterior facades. Our prefabricated EPS components install similarly to EIFS systems, providing lightweight yet durable decorative elements. Available in sills, columns, cornices, and custom shapes, these moldings add insulation value while enhancing visual appeal. The acrylic finish coating ensures weather resistance and color consistency with surrounding stucco or EIFS surfaces.
Questions
What is the difference between traditional stucco and acrylic stucco?
Acrylic stucco contains polymer additives that improve flexibility, reducing hairline cracks. It offers better water resistance and color retention compared to conventional cement-based stucco while maintaining similar aesthetic appeal.
How does EIFS improve energy efficiency?
EIFS systems provide continuous insulation with R-values up to 55% higher than standard walls. The multi-layer construction reduces air infiltration while maintaining breathability, improving heating and cooling efficiency in Calgary's climate.
What causes stucco cracking and is it normal?
Minor cracking occurs during curing as water evaporates. These hairline cracks are normal and don't affect structural integrity. Our three-coat application minimizes shrinkage cracks while maintaining stucco's natural characteristics.
How do you prevent woodpecker damage to EIFS?
We apply Dryvit Shieldit, a two-coat system that creates 175x more impact resistance. This acrylic-modified base coat alters surface characteristics to deter woodpeckers while maintaining EIFS performance and aesthetics.
What building envelope issues do you address?
We resolve moisture intrusion from failed waterproof membranes, improper flashings, and interface detailing. Our remediation includes diagnostic testing, structural repairs, and system upgrades to meet current energy efficiency standards.
Do you offer warranty on stucco repairs?
Yes, we provide a 10-year warranty on complete stucco and EIFS system repairs when using manufacturer-certified materials and application methods. This covers both structural performance and finish coat integrity.

Eric & his team do absolutely fantastic work, and incredibly fast too! Our building looks like new and the stucco work definitely enhanced the property's value. All the neighbours love it too. Pricing was very fair as well. Highly recommended.

Eric and his crew repaired damage to my stucco exterior caused by woodpeckers. They did a great job on the repair and the new stucco matches the existing areas really well - you cant tell where the numerous holes used to be at all. They managed to fit the job in this fall as weather permit which I was very grateful for.

We hired weststar for an stucco repair on a wall that had water damage. Eric was on time with his estimate and and his crew completed the work in 4 days. The repair area looks unvisiable

We had a small stucco patch job that needed attention on one of our clients homes, after some damage incurred during a tree removal. Eric was quick to respond with an estimate, and able to complete the work in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Weststar Wall Systems for any of your stucco repair needs!
