EIFS AND STUCCO: THE COST-PER-SF QUESTION

$8 to $14 per square foot installed in most 2026 markets, with a national average near $16 and complex detail work costing more; traditional three-coat stucco costs $7 to $9. The spread is insulation thickness, drainage system, detail density, and substrate prep, which is why contractors need their own tracked cost-per-SF by system rather than a published average.

Three tiers, and which one you are in depends on how much of the work you want off your desk. Core is where you stop guessing: job costing built against the way you estimate, a 13 week cash forecast, monthly WIP, and a monthly meeting that ends in decisions, while your bookkeeper keeps doing the books. Strategic is where every job shows its margin while it is still open: a bookkeeper we choose does the books and the bank reconciliations, and the job costing and WIP software is set up and managed for you, on your own online software or ours. Platinum is where you approve and the money side gets handled: a controller we choose handles your bills and receivables the way an in-house controller would, and you approve every payment. No payroll. No scope gaps.

Sixty days. We migrate your books back to the start of your last taxable year and build your job costing structure from scratch, and on Strategic and Platinum we set up the job costing and WIP software too. Fully operational in two months. The onboarding fee is one time, the same for every tier, and set by your revenue band.
