Decatur commercial stucco & EIFS. Property managers, boards, owners & builders.
Patio-facing walls are the dining room
For many Decatur restaurants, the wall beside the patio is as much a part of the dining room as anything inside, and cracks, stains or peeling finish there are seen by every guest. Behind the building, walls take a different kind of abuse: grease and heat at kitchen exhaust, impact from deliveries and dumpsters, and water from washdowns and condensate lines.
We repair both sides. At the front, that can mean rebuilding a cracked pier, replacing failed sealant around storefront glass and recoating the facade to match the brand. At the back, it means cutting out grease-soaked or delaminated stucco near exhaust fans, correcting the flashing and terminations that let water in, and protecting the lower wall from carts and containers. Where a former shop or office has been converted to a restaurant, we also look for penetrations added during the conversion that were never sealed.
Work is scheduled before opening, between lunch and dinner or on closed days, and patios are protected or left open whenever possible. See outdoor dining walls for new patio features.

Water coming in over the dining room?
Call us. A water test usually locates the entry point so the immediate leak can be stopped before the larger repair is scheduled.
Around the square and in Oakhurst
Small buildings, shared walls, sidewalk seating and busy weekends shape how restaurant work happens in Decatur.
Many restaurants occupy older commercial buildings or the ground floors of mixed-use, with neighbors on both sides and seating on the sidewalk. We keep work zones small, clean up daily and avoid scheduling facade work during downtown street events when crowds fill the sidewalks. Converting an older building to restaurant use or changing its exterior can trigger city review, so check with the City of Decatur early.
Before opening
Cutting and other loud work finished before the first seating.
Exhaust walls
Grease-damaged stucco near kitchen exhaust removed and rebuilt with protected details.
Patio-side refresh
Facade and patio walls recoated so the outdoor dining room looks finished.
