Decatur commercial stucco & EIFS. Property managers, boards, owners & builders.
Decatur facades leak at the details
Decatur's commercial building stock is unusually mixed for a small city. Older brick storefronts with stucco patches sit beside 1980s and 1990s office buildings clad in EIFS, and newer four- and five-story buildings put apartments or condominiums over ground-floor retail. Each generation fails in its own way, but the water usually gets in at the same places: window perimeters, parapet caps, balcony connections and the transitions where one cladding meets another.
We start every Decatur project with a diagnosis rather than a patch. We walk the elevations, take moisture readings at those transitions, water test where the leak path is unclear and write a scope that separates active water intrusion from cosmetic work. Owners, condo boards and asset managers get numbers they can budget against, and general contractors get a trade partner who understands the whole wall.
Stucco, EIFS, sealants and the details around them are the only work we do, for office buildings, condominiums, apartment communities and restaurants across Decatur.

Learn moreWhen a facade needs attention
These are the conditions we see most often on Decatur commercial buildings before a repair turns into a re-clad.
Leaks at windows & storefronts
Interior stains or wet carpet near exterior walls usually trace back to failed perimeter sealant or missing flashing.
Cracking at piers & parapets
Cracks at corners, control joints and parapet caps open a path for water into the wall cavity.
Soft or bulging EIFS
EIFS that gives when pressed or bulges between joints often has wet sheathing behind it.
Faded, stained elevations
Uneven color, rust streaks and mildew make a property look neglected to tenants and prospects.
Buying, refinancing or planning reserves?
A building envelope condition survey gives owners, lenders and boards real numbers to work from.

What our clients say
Long-term clients rely on Advanced Stucco Repair for stucco repair and water intrusion work across Metro Atlanta.
“We had a section of our wall that was crumbling, and I was worried the repairs would stand out. Not only did they fix the issue, but they matched the color and texture so perfectly that I honestly can’t tell where the damage was.”
“For over 10 years we have relied on ASR for all our stucco repair needs, but as well, for a number of other water intrusion related solutions. Their leadership are responsive and have trained their technicians well. We have been 100% satisfied with the work they’ve done for us.”
Commercial stucco & EIFS across Decatur, GA
From the square to Oakhurst and out along DeKalb Avenue and Scott Boulevard, we work on the commercial and multifamily buildings that make up Decatur.
Decatur packs offices, storefronts, condominiums and apartments into a compact, walkable grid, so most facade work here happens beside sidewalks, outdoor seating and occupied units. We plan access, protection and phasing around that from the first site walk.
One thing to settle early: many properties with a Decatur mailing address sit outside the City of Decatur limits in unincorporated DeKalb County. The jurisdiction decides where permits and any design review go, so we confirm it with you before the scope is final.
Downtown mixed-use
Retail at the sidewalk with offices, apartments or condominiums above, where water at the floor line shows up in the ground-floor tenant's space.
Humid, stormy summers
Afternoon thunderstorms and wind-driven rain test every sealant joint and flashing detail on exposed upper floors.
City or county?
We confirm whether the property is inside City of Decatur limits so the right building department reviews the work.
