“As lead attorney for the University of California, Santa Barbara, in a Construction Defect lawsuit involving a 10-year-old, 175,000 sq. ft. classroom/office complex suffering water intrusion, I was asked to locate a qualified EIFS inspector. We chose Mr. Robert J. Mault, Principal, EIFS & Stucco Inspection & Forensic Services to carry out a detailed inspection of the EIFS cladding on the building in question. Mr. Mault’s thorough forensic investigation revealed numerous defects that lurked beneath an otherwise normal looking building exterior. His broad knowledge of his field, detailed findings and reports were of great value in reaching a substantial settlement acceptable to the UC Regents.”
~ Christopher Haskell, Counselor at Law, Price, Postel & Parma, LLP


“In the field of EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) Robert has unequaled knowledge of the subject matter, systems and inspection methodology.

I would highly recommend his services both during construction and to remediate trouble issues.”

Donald McCrary, Kalahari Resorts Director of Architecture & Engineering

EIFS & Stucco Inspection & Forensic Services provided me not only excellent service, but also reliability and confidence in its findings and recommendations -- in other words, peace of mind."
