Hello everyone,
the facade of our 2-year-old house is no longer white.
Here are a few pictures:
What could this be?
In the picture of the north side, the outlines of the insulation panels seem visible – or am I just imagining it?
We had similar “stains” already after one year. However, only in a few spots and mostly on other sides. We repainted those areas and it was fine afterward.
I don’t know how long these have been here – but they are on the back side of the house, which I just happened to pass recently and noticed this for the first time.
Thanks for your feedback.
Mario

Well, with external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), you only save money once—precisely during installation. After that, if you want everything to look good for a long time, there is a lot of maintenance and additional costs. With brick veneer, you pay more upfront (even if somewhat higher), but then you have no further work or costs. However, everyone is the master of their own decision.

The other two walls have already been painted a second time and currently look good.
What do the experts think?

Bieber081526 Jan 2017 08:14There are no "visual" defects. A defect is a defect (deviation from the specified condition). The contractor is allowed to perform remedial work. If the remedial work involves disproportionate costs (which will need to be clarified), the contractor may refuse to carry it out. In that case, a reduction in value will be determined, and the client will receive a refund (usually less than expected, but more than nothing).
Note: The client may, of course, also dispute the existence of a defect. In this case, experts and legal proceedings are needed to establish whether a defect actually exists.
So, report the defect, and please share here the response and how the situation progresses!

If the correction involves disproportionate costs (what exactly that means will need to be clarified), the contractor may refuse to make the corrections. In that case, a reduction in value will be determined and the client will receive a partial refund (usually less than expected, but more than nothing).
Note: The client may also dispute that a defect exists at all. Then experts and a court proceeding are needed to determine yes or no.
So, report the defect and please update here about the reaction and how things proceed! That’s a clear statement – I like it
Thank you.
