Stucco and EIFS Contractor in Middletown, NJ
Residential and Commercial Stucco Service in Jersey Shore and Surrounding Areas!
Middletown is not one place. It is the largest township in Monmouth County. It spreads across more than 40 square miles. And it holds nearly a dozen distinct neighborhoods, each with its own kind of home. A waterfront house near Belford has little in common with a wooded lot in Lincroft. So the stucco work they need is different too. We have worked across all of it since 1985.
Which part of Middletown are you in?
We serve the whole township. That includes the older estate homes in Navesink. It includes the suburban streets of Lincroft. And it includes the bayshore sections like Belford and Port Monmouth that sit close to Sandy Hook Bay. Tell us your section. We already know the kind of construction and the kind of trouble it tends to have.
The shore edge near Sandy Hook Bay sees real saltwater exposure. Inland Lincroft does not. That single fact changes how we inspect a wall. It changes what we look for first. A contractor who treats all of Middletown the same will miss it.
Common stucco and EIFS issues in Middletown homes
A lot of Middletown housing went up between the 1970s and the 1990s. Plenty of those homes got EIFS during that stretch. EIFS is the synthetic stucco system. Early EIFS from that era was the barrier type. It was built with no drainage plane behind the foam. Some of it has aged poorly. And some is now reaching the end of its service life.
That is where stucco remediation comes in. If the system behind the surface has failed, a patch will not fix it. We check whether your wall needs a simple repair, a restoration, or a full remediation. Then we are honest about which one it is.
The bayshore sections add a second issue. Many homes near Belford and Port Monmouth were rebuilt after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Those rebuilds are now 10 to 13 years old. That is exactly when the first real exterior problems start to surface.
Services we provide in Middletown
We cover the full range of exterior wall work for Middletown homes:
- Residential stucco repair and installation
- EIFS repair and replacement on synthetic stucco homes
- Stucco remediation when the system behind the wall has failed
- Crack and water damage repair with matched color and texture
- Stucco inspections and pre-purchase correction work
Each job starts with a real look at the wall. We find the cause before we pick the fix. On homes this age, the cause is often a small thing that was missed for years.
Pre-purchase inspections and correction work for Middletown buyers
Middletown homes often fall in the 1960s to 1990s age range. That is prime territory for stucco and EIFS surprises during a sale. If you are buying and the inspection flags an issue, we handle the correction.
We inspect both traditional stucco and EIFS. Then we follow up with the repair work the report calls for. Our Stucco Inspection and Correction After Stucco Inspection services are made for buyers in this market. You get clear numbers before you close.
Why over 40 years matters
Rich Lapinski founded CMB Jersey Shore Stucco and EIFS Repair & Installation in 1985. Over 40 years later, we have worked on Middletown homes through every kind of weather this stretch of the Shore throws at them. We know how a 1980s Lincroft home was built. We know how a Belford rebuild was put together. We treat each one like our own.
We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When water is getting into a wall, waiting only makes the repair bigger.
Why housing age tells us what to expect
Middletown homes carry their decade in the wall. A home from the 1970s was built one way. A home from the 1990s another. And the homes rebuilt after Sandy in the bayshore sections are different again.
That history is useful. When you tell us your section and roughly when the home was built, we already have a short list of what tends to go wrong. Early EIFS in a 1980s Lincroft home. Aging sealants in a 1990s build. Hidden moisture in a post-Sandy Belford rebuild. We start the inspection where the trouble usually hides.
The barrier EIFS problem, in plain terms
A lot of the EIFS on older Middletown homes is the barrier type. Here is what that means. The foam was put on with no drainage path behind it. The whole system relied on sealants and flashing to keep every drop of water out.
Sealants do not last forever. When they fail, water gets behind the foam and has nowhere to go. On a barrier system, that is how small leaks become big repairs. We check these systems closely, because the damage is usually hidden until it is severe.
Newer drainable EIFS handles this better. It has a path for water to escape. If your home has it, the inspection is simpler. Either way, we confirm which system you have before we recommend anything.
Inland vs. shore-edge: two different inspections
An inland Middletown home and a bayshore home need different attention. Inland, the main enemies are age and freeze-thaw. The walls are drier, so problems tend to start at cracks and tired sealants.
Closer to Sandy Hook Bay, salt and humidity join in. Flashing corrodes faster. Moisture lingers in the wall longer. We adjust the inspection to match. On a shore-edge home, we look harder at the metal and the hidden lower sections of the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve all of Middletown?
A: Yes. Middletown covers more than 40 square miles. We work throughout the township including Lincroft, Navesink, Belford, and Port Monmouth, as well as the shore-edge sections.
My 1980s Middletown home has EIFS. Is that a problem?
A: Not always. Early-generation EIFS from the 1980s and 1990s was the barrier type with no built-in drainage. Some of these systems have aged poorly. We inspect to see whether yours needs remediation, maintenance, or full replacement.
Can you repair stucco damage from Hurricane Sandy rebuilds?
A: Yes. Many Middletown rebuilds from 2012 and 2013 are now reaching the 10-year mark and showing first signs of moisture issues. We handle inspection and repair on these homes.
Do you handle pre-purchase stucco inspections for Middletown homes?
A: Yes. We inspect both traditional stucco and EIFS, and we follow up with correction work if the inspection identifies issues that need to be resolved before closing.

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.
