This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this. This part was a new addition to the house, and a window must have been open because what appears to be a raccoon climbed the EIFS wall while the finish coat wasn’t quite fully set, leaving his little claw marks all over the corner of the wall. The damage is permanent in as far as it needs to be re-coated and re-finished, but the system should still function as intended.
The real shame of course, is that the owner didn’t bother to fix it.
Oh bad raccoon. Yes there are no way around to fix it than to recoat it.
