Standard Pacific Homes - CalAtlantic(Standard Pacific)
We purchased a Standard Pacific home in 2011 as the first owner. We are now in the process of selling this home and after the inspection it was revealed that there are serious issues with the Stucco/EIFS.
At first we thought the cracking was due to just settling but after the inspector provided his report, it showed that when the home was built, the builder(s) did not install the Stucco/EIFS to meet the 2009 International Code Council standards. Flashing was not installed, weep skreeds were not installed, expansion/control joints were not used and caulking was not done around the vents. Because of this we have experience sever cracking and rust on the stucco which means there is moisture behind the EIFS. CalAtlantic came out and said they are only willing to add the flashing and repair the cracks and re-paint.
The problem is, this is only a band-aid and does not address the issues that was found by the stucco inspector. CalAtlantic's position is that the weeping and expansion joints were not required at the time this home was built, but after speaking with the inspector and actual Stucco inspectors, this is not correct. Since this house was build in 2011 it must comply with the 2009 International Code Council guidelines. Because of this negligence I am now at risk of losing the buyer for my home.
I am now being forced to contract with someone to fix the issues which will cost by over $5, 000. I will never buy another home from this company and I will continue to broadcast my experience with every outlet possible.
