Commercial EIFS · Gilbert, AZ
Commercial EIFS in Gilbert, AZ
Rivulon offices, SanTan Village retail and the medical campuses off the 202. Gilbert's commercial stock is young, and that changes what its walls need.
Gilbert, Arizona
Gilbert went from farm fields to office parks in about fifteen years. Most of its commercial stock is newer than the crews working on it.
That sounds like good news, and mostly it is. The catch is that a young building has never had its first sealant cycle, and nobody has budgeted for one.
We do both ends of it here. New EIFS bid off your drawings on a building going up, and joint and finish work on the ones that went up a decade ago.

On the ground
Where we work in Gilbert
Rivulon
Office buildings at Gilbert Road and the 202. Multi-story walls with real detail in them, which means real scaffolding before anyone touches the finish.
SanTan Village and Gilbert Gateway
Retail on a scale that needs one consistent face across a lot of bays. A patchwork elevation here is visible from the ring road.
The Heritage District
Downtown Gilbert, where older buildings sit next to new infill. Matching work next door to a new build is its own problem, and it is a common one here.
The medical campuses off the 202
Banner Gateway and Mercy Gilbert anchor a cluster of medical offices. Those jobs run on strict access rules. We plan the crew around them.
Young buildings, moving ground
A lot of Gilbert sits on old farmland with clay-heavy soil. That ground swells when it gets water and shrinks when it dries out.
It moves slowly, and it does not crack a wall overnight. What it does is work the joints. Sealant at a control joint, a window or a parapet is the part that gives first.
On a fifteen-year-old building that joint is at the end of its life anyway. Nobody budgeted for it, because the building still looks new.
So on a Gilbert walk we start at the joints, not at the crack somebody called us about. The crack is usually the symptom of a joint two floors up.

Questions
Gilbert EIFS questions
Send us a photo of the wall and we'll tell you what we're looking at before anyone drives out.
The finish is probably fine. Sealant is what ages out, and twelve years is about when the joints start to go. That is a much cheaper fix than the wall behind it.
