Applicator Training 

Finestone offers a variety of classroom and hands-on training for experienced applicators on all Finestone products and wall systems. Whenever new Finestone products or wall systems are introduced, we offer Approved Applicators, allowing them to keep up with current technologies and trends within the industry.

Finestone can provide contractor training specific to our products and systems either at the Finestone headquarters in Jacksonville, Fla., or as scheduled by a local distributor. Distributors schedule training sessions as needed. For specific information regarding becoming a Finestone Approved Applicator or to schedule training on Finestone products and wall systems, please contact your local Finestone distributor.

If you are looking for a comprehensive understanding of EIFS practices, Finestone encourages you to attend the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry’s (AWCI) “EIFS: Doing it Right” training. This program results in industry-recognized certification upon completion of a written test. Or, if you are looking for a comprehensive understanding of stucco practices, consider the AWCI, "Stucco: Doing it Right" training.
