Berkeley Township runs from the edge of Barnegat Bay back into the pines. Bayville sits near the water, and homes there live with salt air every day. Farther inland, the township spreads into quiet wooded neighborhoods. Wherever a Berkeley home stands, its stucco faces the shore climate. CMB Jersey Shore Stucco and EIFS Repair & Installation has worked along this coast since 1985. We repair, install, and restore stucco and EIFS for homes and businesses in Berkeley.
Living near Barnegat Bay is great until you see what the air does to an exterior. Salt rides the wind and settles on walls. Over time it eats at finishes and works into small cracks. Bayfront and near-water homes feel this first. We know the signs, and we fix stucco with the coast in mind. A good repair here is one built to take the salt and the damp.
Most repairs start with a crack, a stain, or a patch of worn finish. Some are surface deep. Others mean water has gotten behind the wall, which is a job for stucco water damage repair. We check moisture readings before we cut into anything. Then we repair, match the texture, and blend the color so the work disappears. We keep our appointments, track down where the water is getting in, and leave the site clean. Our stucco repair page covers the process.
EIFS, or synthetic stucco, shows up on many Berkeley homes. It adds insulation and a clean look. Near the water, though, sealing matters even more. One failed joint can let damp air and rain behind the foam. Steady EIFS maintenance keeps the seals tight and the moisture out. Read our EIFS page for more.
Building new or replacing a worn exterior near the bay? We install hard coat stucco and EIFS made to handle the climate. The work covers prep, a weather barrier, lath, and a finish coat. Our residential stucco page helps you choose what fits your home.
A home a block from Barnegat Bay lives a harder life than one inland. Salt, wind, humidity, and storms all push on the walls. Stucco can still last 50 years or more here, but only with steady upkeep. We suggest a yearly look for any home near the water. Catching a small crack early keeps salt and moisture from turning it into a big repair.
CMB is not only a home crew. We handle commercial stucco and EIFS in Berkeley too, from shops along Route 9 to buildings near the bay. We work with owners, contractors, and property managers. Our commercial stucco page has more.
For more than 40 years, CMB has worked the shore towns of Ocean County as a stucco contractor that knows the water. We have seen what salt and storms do, and we build repairs to last through both. We favor spot fixes that match your wall, so you do not pay to redo a whole side. Your home gets treated like our own.
Not all of Berkeley sits on the water. A large part of the township reaches west into the pines, where homes face a different mix. Here the worry is less about salt and more about damp, shade, and the freeze and thaw of winter. Tree cover keeps walls wet longer after a storm, and slow-drying stucco invites trouble. As a stucco contractor that knows both sides of the township, we treat inland Berkeley homes with that in mind, finding the real cause before we patch and seal. Wherever your home sits in the township, we match the fix to the conditions around it.
A stucco home changes hands often along this coast, and the exterior is a big part of the deal. Before you buy, it pays to know what is behind the finish. Much of the EIFS installed across the Northeast in the 1990s and early 2000s was not put up correctly, so an older synthetic stucco home near the water can hide moisture behind a clean-looking wall. Before you sell, a sound wall helps your home show well. We check stucco and EIFS for moisture and hidden damage, so there are no surprises at closing. Our inspection page and our EIFS inspection page explain what we look for.
Near the bay, a few signs tell you the wall needs attention. White, powdery patches, called efflorescence, mean salt and moisture are moving through. Dark streaks, bubbling paint, and soft spots point to water behind the finish. Cracks near windows and corners let more of it in. Catch these early and the fix stays small. Wait, and the salt keeps working.
A repair on a bayfront home should vanish into the wall, not stand out on the sunny side. Careful color matching is part of every job we do, so the new finish reads the same as the old. On a home that faces the water, that even look holds up better over the seasons.
Do you work in Bayville and the bayfront areas?
Yes. We cover all of Berkeley, including Bayville and the neighborhoods near Barnegat Bay. Call (732) 400-4020 to set a time.
Does salt air really damage stucco?
It does. Salt works into finishes and cracks over time. That is why near-water homes need a little extra attention and the odd touch-up.
Do you repair EIFS along the water?
Yes. EIFS near the bay needs tight seals. We check for moisture and reseal where needed.
How often should I check my stucco?
Once a year is a good rule near the coast. A quick look can catch a crack before salt and water make it worse.
Do you cover the inland parts of Berkeley?
Yes. We work across the whole township, from the bayfront to the wooded neighborhoods inland. Call (732) 400-4020 and we will confirm your area.

Jersey Shore Stucco is amazing! I can not speak more highly of them. I’ve worked with other stucco repair companies in the past and it has been difficult at best. I desperately needed some maintenance done on a stucco wall surrounding our hose and decided to try these guys out. Wow! We could not be happier. High quality at an affordable price!

We purchased an older home and knew it was in need of stucco repair. During the first few months, we had a bunch of stucco contractors out to look at the job but none were sure we would end up with a result we were pleased without spending thousands! Jersey Shore Stucco was able to offer a very competitive price and started on the work right away. They matched the exterior paint to the rest of the house and a year later, you still can’t tell where the damage was! We would definitely recommend them, and plan to use them going forward for any stucco needs.

Jersey Shore Stucco was able to help with
repairs caused by a recent tropical storm. They came and inspected the damage and made me feel very comfortable that they could get the job done right. The craftsmanship was beautiful. It’s a perfect match and you can’t even tell where the damage was before.
