Designers want their dreams and buildings to look pretty, owners don’t want leaks and contractors want to do what they know works. 

 Throughout the life of any stucco or EIFS clad building, invariably some damage will occur to the cladding.  

During a two year period WeKanDo Construction had the opportunity to work on a remodel of a 1919 design by the internationally acclaimed architect Whitney Warren, the ultra luxury Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. 

 Robert Fortunato—with full support of his family—decided to turn the remodeling of his home into a prime example of energy efficiency and sustainability for the building community.  

 Probably one of the most extensively tested exterior claddings is Exterior Insulation and Finish System or EIFS. (An acronym pronounced “eefs,” please don’t call it EFUS.)  

Dale Hayes Masonry Inc., a large plastering contractor in Hudson, Fla., has really amped up its profile as the go-to Tampa-area subcontractor. 

 I moved to Florida a few years ago. Construction is different down here.
