The Home You've Planned for Years Deserves Walls Built Right

Premium stucco, EIFS, and exterior finishes for custom homes and renovations — built on healthy-home building science.

What Can Go Wrong

Dreams become nightmares one shortcut at a time.

You've seen the stories: builders cutting corners on envelope systems. Rot and mold discovered behind brand-new walls. Families dealing with respiratory illness from air quality problems nobody can find. Repair bills in the tens of thousands on a home that's two years old.

Almost every one of those disasters traces back to the same thing — the right materials, installed in the wrong order. Moisture that should have drained out was trapped in. An air barrier that should have been continuous had gaps. Nobody was watching the sequence.

How We Protect You

Healthy home science, applied to your walls.

IN-EX approaches your home the way we approach a commercial envelope: as a system. Continuous insulation that keeps walls warm and dry. Air barriers that stop drafts and moisture. Flashings and drainage integrated in the correct sequence so water always moves out — never in.

The payoff is a home that costs less to heat, feels comfortable in every room, stays quiet inside, and protects your family's health and your biggest investment for decades.

What You Get

Seven Things Your Family Will Feel

Lower Heating Bills

A continuously insulated, sealed envelope cuts heating energy 20–35% — every winter, for the life of the home.

Health & Comfort

No drafts, warm walls, even temperatures room to room, and cleaner indoor air — moisture control prevents the mold that causes respiratory problems.

Family Protection

Fire-resistant materials and an envelope engineered against rot, mold, and structural damage protect the people inside — not just the walls.

Your Vision, Exactly

Unlimited colors and textures. The look of stone, brick, or modern smooth finishes — without the weight or the price.

Built to Last Decades

Proper moisture management means your exterior performs for the long haul with minimal maintenance.

Resale Value

A premium, high-performance exterior protects and grows the value of your largest investment.

Straight Answers

Common Questions From Homeowners

How do I choose between EIFS, stucco, and siding?

It depends on your priorities. EIFS gives the best energy performance and design freedom; cement stucco offers a traditional, highly durable finish; siding suits certain styles and budgets. We install all three — so our recommendation is based on what fits your home, not what we happen to sell. Read the comparison →

What will it cost?

Every home is different, but EIFS typically delivers a premium architectural look for 20–70% less than masonry — and pays you back in heating savings every year after. We provide clear, detailed quotes so you know exactly what's included, with no surprises later.

How long will my project take?

A typical home can be clad in roughly 10–14 days start to finish. Because we handle cladding, flashings, stone, and waterproofing as one coordinated scope, there are no gaps or delays between trades.

Why does sequencing matter so much?

Most residential envelope failures are caused by correct materials installed in the wrong order. Windows, flashings, weather barriers, and cladding have to integrate so water always drains out — never in. That discipline is the difference between a 40-year exterior and a 4-year disaster.

Will it stand up to Manitoba winters?

Yes — continuous exterior insulation protects the structure from freeze-thaw stress and keeps walls warm and dry at -40°. We've been proving it across Manitoba since 1997.

What maintenance is required?

Very little: periodic inspection of sealants, occasional gentle washing, and re-caulking joints every 10–15 years. A properly installed system is designed to perform for decades.

What warranty do I get?

Our installations are backed by manufacturer warranties from partners like ADEX, Dryvit, and Sto — plus the accountability of a local company that's been here since 1997 and plans to stay.
