Hello Vinita,

A better place to ask this question would be at http://www.your-leaking-house.com/sites/your-leaking-house.c… Here you will find expert installers and many highly experienced Inspectors with years of inspecting dryvit.

A vasic answer to your question would be it depends on how well it was installed and maintained. To give a specific number of years would not be near accurate without that information. But visit the forum above and ask away with questions regarding dryvit.

Good luck!
