SIUE Art and Design – Plaster Progress
December 31, 2012We are working for Pottker Construction completing the interior renovation of the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville – Art and Design building. Our scope of work is the plastering contractor with Sand finish plaster, drywall, steel studs, acoustical ceilings (drop ceilings), and insulation. Phase three of four is nearly complete with the last phase finishing in the summer of 2013. The project has a very challenging schedule along with hard to reach plastering and drywall.
Having no ceiling and an exposed roof deck in a majority of the rooms, we were faced with many challenges trying to plaster around up to 50 penetrations in a single 4’x4′ wall up to 16′ off the ground. With experience union plasterers we were able to complete the difficult task with a great finished product. Above is a picture of a drywall ceiling with a radius drywall and plaster return.
Facade Renovation – Retrofit to EIFS (Dryvit)
December 28, 2012
The Heartland Bank in Sunset Hills is renovating the exterior facade of their building and changing the existing ceramic tile to EIFS (Dryvit). Hensley Construction has chosen George Weis Company to perform the EIFS, sheathing, framing, drywall and taping on the project. The existing substrate is remaining on the building and we are mechanically attaching sheathing to the existing tile and EIFS to the sheathing. The retrofit of the facade not only gives the building a whole new clean aesthetic look, it dramatically increases the thermal efficiency of the building, lowering heating and cooling costs costs by up to 30% (per Dryvit). George Weis company has successfully been retrofitting buildings with EIFS and Restoring / repairing EIFS and plaster since it began in the St. Louis area.

EIFS repair in Maryland Heights, MO
September 10, 2012George Weis Company received many calls from home and business owners in the St. Louis area after the severe hail producing storms we had during the spring of 2012.
Dash Multi-Corp in Maryland Heights, MO was one of those businesses that called George Weis Company. Their EIFS was damaged by golf ball or larger sized hail leaving divots in the finish, which can be repaired by our experienced union plasterers. These are pictures of Dash Multi-Corp’s damaged exterior.
Some people may call EIFS: Stucco, but EIFS is synthetic plaster which can come in a multitude of colors that is most often applied over foam in endless amount of shapes. Whereas stucco is a concrete plaster mix that was used on exterior of homes/businesses prior to evolution of EIFS.
George Weis Company also does stucco and EIFS inspections for water and moisture intrusion.
George Weis Company uses Dryvit, Senergy and STO EIFS products exclusively.
