I have stucco board as my siding. My friends told me that systhesis stucco (eifs) is in big trouble and it hurts the property value. My inspection report has the stucco board as a different check box than eifs so I think these 2 are different. Can somebody tell me whether these 2 are the same or different for sure? And if they are different is there any complaints about stucco board as siding material? Thank you.

Stucco board is a pre-textured siding product that is mechanically fastened to the house in sheets. EIFS or synthetic stucco is applied like traditional stucco in layers on the outside of the home.

Yes and no. Exterior Insulation Finish System (eifs). Has evolved over the years and can be many things. Traditional eifs you can push a nail through it and has a hollow sound. stucco board is more rigid. My understanding is Stucco Board is a type if eifs. If there are any complaint with it I imagine you could google that. Like any building material somebody is going to have acomplaint about it no matter what.
