Dunwoody commercial stucco & EIFS. Property managers, boards, owners & builders.
Neighborhood centers show their age first
Much of Dunwoody’s everyday retail is in neighborhood shopping centers: Dunwoody Village, the Georgetown area off Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, and centers along Mount Vernon Road and Jett Ferry Road. Many of these centers have been updated more than once, so a single facade may combine original stucco, newer EIFS towers and sign bands added for different tenants over the years.
Each change leaves marks. Sign installers drill through the facade, tenants add lights and conduits, and old penetrations are often left unsealed. Water gets in at those holes, at parapet caps and around storefront frames, and the damage shows up as cracks, stains and delaminating finish along the sign band and at the tops of piers.
We survey the center elevation by elevation, separating landlord and tenant items where that matters to your leases. Repairs include sealing old sign penetrations, rebuilding damaged sections, correcting parapet and coping details and replacing failed sealant at storefront frames. When the center needs a unified look again, a recoat or color change can bring every elevation back to one consistent finish.
Common shopping center envelope problems
The conditions landlords and property managers call us about most on strip centers, neighborhood centers and retail pads.
Sign band penetrations
Holes from old and new tenant signage, raceways and lighting that let water into the wall behind the band.
Parapets & towers
Cracked parapet caps, open coping joints and entry towers that take water at the top of the wall.
Damaged storefront piers
Impact damage, cracking and broken corners at pier bases from carts, dollies and equipment.
Storefront perimeter leaks
Failed sealant where stucco or EIFS meets aluminum storefront framing and door systems.
Canopy & overhang details
Soffits, canopy fascias and roof-to-wall transitions at covered walks that trap water and stain.
Mismatched, faded elevations
Years of patches in slightly different colors and chalky finishes that make a center look neglected.

Learn moreHow we work around open stores
Retail tenants need visible entrances, clear walks and parking for their customers. We plan the work around them.
Walk & document
We walk every elevation with you, note tenant leak reports, take moisture readings at sign bands, parapets and storefronts, and water test where the path is unclear.
- Leaks matched to storefronts
- Readings by elevation
- Photo documentation
Scope & phasing plan
You get an itemized scope by building and storefront, with a phasing plan that keeps each store’s entrance and signage visible and limits how much parking is taken at once.
- Itemized by storefront
- Tenant notice support
- Parking & staging plan
Repair & refresh
Crews work section by section, keep walkways protected and open, coordinate with sign contractors on tenant changes, and finish with color and texture matched across the center.
- Entrances kept open
- Daily cleanup
- Matched finish
Tenant reporting water inside a store?
Call us. A water test usually locates the entry point so the immediate leak can be stopped before the larger repair is scheduled.
Working while the lot is full
Dunwoody shopping centers are busy all week, so our scheduling starts with parking and customer access.
At a neighborhood center, our crew shares the parking lot with customers. We stage equipment away from the busiest storefronts, keep walkways and entrances open and coordinate with tenants about the days work will be in front of their store. Restaurants and service tenants often have different peak hours from retailers, and we schedule each bay with that in mind.
Storefront bays
Pier, sign band and frame repairs done one bay at a time, with the tenant’s entrance kept open.
Towers & parapets
EIFS towers and parapet caps repaired and re-flashed where water gets into the top of the wall.
Sign penetrations
Old sign and lighting holes sealed and patched when tenants change.
