Most finishing materials are selected without due consideration to the environment factors, thus service life of these materials are usually shortened, this paper examines some residential, commercial and institutional buildings that have defective external walls finishes in tropical forest areas with focus on Ilaro and some buildings in Abeokuta town. Each building selected for review was carefully studied and analyzed to identify the type of finishing materials and causes of their defects. Some occupants were interviewed for further information. The results show that most of the buildings finishing materials lost their service lives not just to the environmental factors but defective method of construction and other factors. Conclusion and recommendations were drawn from the result.
