I don't care much for strippers. They're just not my type. This especially involves EIFS. "Strippers" is my nickname for consultants that think the only way to repair EIFS is to take it all off.
I frequently get asked if it is really necessary to remove all the EIFS on the building when all the EIFS is not malfunctioning. Usually, the mantra "take it all off!" comes from an inexperienced consultant who does not know enough about EIFS to properly make the decision as to which areas to repair and which to leave as-is. To avoid the risk of being wrong, such consultants sometimes take the easy way out by simply recommending to remove all the material; he can't be wrong, since, in essence, the whole wall is then rebuilt.
