Stucco and EIFS Contractor in Brick Township, NJ
Residential and Commercial Stucco Service in Jersey Shore and Surrounding Areas!
A lot of Brick Township was rebuilt after Hurricane Sandy. The storm hit the bayfront and barrier sections hard in 2012. In the years that followed, nearly 2,000 homes were rebuilt or reconstructed. Most of those homes are now 10 to 13 years old. That is the moment when the exterior systems put on during the rebuild are due for their first real inspection.
Stucco and EIFS in Brick: what time and weather have done
The rebuild years moved fast. Some Brick homes got barrier-style EIFS during the rush. Others got quick stucco applications. Those systems were fine on day one. A decade on, the sealants are aging. The first cracks are showing up around windows and trim.
Caught early, this is a small fix. Caught late, water has already gotten behind the wall and into the wood. The gap between a 10-year inspection and a 15-year emergency is the difference between a sealant job and a full remediation. The cost is not close.
Bay-side exposure vs. oceanfront: why Brick is different
Most contractors lump all shore homes together. Brick is mostly bay-side. It sits on Barnegat Bay. That is a different problem than oceanfront.
Bay homes do not take direct wave spray. What they get instead is sustained humidity and brackish water in the air. Wood components behind the stucco absorb that moisture slowly, over years. So the inspection focus shifts. We look at the hidden parts of the wall, not just the surface you can see.
Sections of Brick we serve
We work throughout the township. That includes Greenbriar, Herbertsville, Laurelton, the Drum Point area, and the bayfront communities along the water. Each one has its own housing mix. Some are older inland ranches. Some are newer waterfront colonials. The repair plan follows the home.
Inspection and correction for older rebuilds
If your home was rebuilt after Sandy, an EIFS Inspection now is one of the smartest moves you can make. We check the sealants. We check the flashing. We check the substrate for early moisture.
If something turns up, our stucco remediation and Correction After Stucco Inspection services handle the fix. We also do stucco water damage repair when moisture has already gotten in. The point is to catch it before it spreads.
Why over 40 years of experience matters here
Rich Lapinski started CMB Jersey Shore Stucco and EIFS Repair & Installation in 1985. Over 40 years of exterior wall work means we have seen how rushed rebuilds age. We know where they fail first. We do not guess. We inspect, we tell you what we find, and we quote only the work that actually needs doing.
We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. On a bay home, a small moisture problem can hide for a long time, so an honest first look matters.

Why rebuild quality varies so much
Not every Sandy rebuild was done the same. Some homeowners hired careful crews. Others took whoever was available during the rush. The difference shows up now, 10 to 13 years later.
A well-built wall from 2013 may just need fresh sealant. A rushed one may have taken on water for years. We do not assume either way. We inspect, we measure moisture where we can, and we tell you what your specific wall needs.
What bay humidity does over time
Barnegat Bay keeps the air around Brick homes damp. That is easy to ignore, because there is no dramatic wave damage to point at. The harm is slow.
Wood behind the stucco absorbs moisture a little at a time. Sealants soften. Finish coats hold dampness longer. None of it looks urgent on any single day. Over a decade it adds up. A bay home benefits from being checked on a schedule, not just after a storm.
What an EIFS inspection covers on a Brick home
An inspection is not a quick look from the driveway. We work around the whole building. We check every window and door, because those joints are where water gets in first.
We look at the flashing, the sealant, and the finish coat. Where it is possible, we check the moisture level in the wall. We note any soft spots, stains, or cracks and where they sit. Then you get a clear picture of the wall’s real condition, not a guess.
Why we do not oversell remediation
Full remediation is the biggest job we do. It is also the one some contractors push when it is not needed. We do not work that way.
If your wall needs a sealant refresh, we say so. If it needs a targeted repair, we quote that. We only recommend full remediation when the system behind the surface has truly failed. An honest scope keeps your costs down and our reputation intact.
A quick word on emergencies
Storms still hit Brick. When wind or water opens up a wall, you do not want to wait days for a callback. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We can tarp, secure, and assess fast, then plan the real repair once things are stable.
If your Brick home is a Sandy-era rebuild, now is the time to have it checked. Call CMB at (732) 400-4020 to schedule a visit, or contact us online.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve all of Brick Township?
A: Yes. We work throughout Brick including Greenbriar, Herbertsville, Laurelton, and the Drum Point area, plus the bay-side communities.
My home was rebuilt after Hurricane Sandy. Should I have the stucco or EIFS inspected?
A: Yes. Many Brick homes rebuilt after 2012 are now reaching the point where the original exterior systems should be inspected. Catching issues at 10 to 13 years is far cheaper than catching them at 15 to 20.
Is bay-side stucco different from oceanfront stucco?
A: Yes. Bay-side homes deal with sustained humidity and brackish water rather than direct salt spray. Wood components behind the stucco can absorb more moisture over time. The inspection focus is different.
Do you come out to inspect homes in Brick Township?
A: Yes. We come out, inspect the walls, and give you a clear assessment. Call (732) 400-4020 to schedule a visit throughout Brick Township.

Customer/Client Reviews
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!
-Tony G
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.
