Traditional cement stucco has been on American homes for over a century, and it is still hard to beat. It is a blend of Portland cement, sand, and lime that hardens into a solid, breathable shell. CMB Jersey Shore Stucco and EIFS Repair & Installation has worked with traditional cement stucco across New Jersey since 1985.
Traditional cement stucco is the original. Long before synthetic finishes showed up, builders mixed cement, sand, lime, and water and troweled it onto walls by hand. The same recipe works today. It gives you a finish with real depth and texture that many homeowners still prefer. People sometimes call it old world stucco or cement plaster.
There are good reasons this material has lasted.
It is fire resistant. Cement does not burn, so a stucco shell adds a layer of safety. It is tough. A well mixed, well applied cement finish can last 50 years or more. It breathes. Moisture that gets in can dry out instead of staying trapped. And it holds custom color and texture, so you are not stuck with one flat look.
For homes along the Jersey Shore, that durability matters. Salt air and storms wear down weaker materials fast. Cement stucco takes the beating and keeps its shape.
Synthetic stucco, or EIFS, is lighter and adds insulation. Traditional cement is heavier and more solid. Neither is the right pick for every wall. On an older home or a restoration, cement often fits the look and feel better. On a new build where insulation is the goal, EIFS might win. We walk you through both. See our EIFS page for that side of the choice.
We install traditional cement stucco as a full three coat system, and we restore it on older homes that already have it. Our stucco installation page walks through how a new install works. If your old cement stucco is cracked or failing, our stucco repair team can bring it back. Hard coat stucco is the same family of material, so our hardcoat stucco installation page goes deeper on the build itself.
Many homes across New Jersey were built with cement stucco decades ago. Over the years, that stucco can crack, stain, or pull away in spots. The good news is that it is usually worth saving. We match the original mix and texture so the repair blends in. On older and historic homes, that care matters. You keep the look the home was built with, and you get walls that are sound again. We have restored cement stucco on shore homes, brownstones, and city buildings alike. Whatever the age of the home, our goal is the same: a repair that lasts and a finish you cannot pick out from the rest of the wall.
CMB installs and restores cement stucco on homes, brownstones, warehouses, and commercial buildings. We have worked across Monmouth County, Ocean County, Manhattan, Hoboken, and the wider Tri-State area since 1985. We also serve shore towns like Long Branch.
How long does traditional cement stucco last?
With proper care, a cement stucco finish can last 50 years or more. A yearly check and quick repairs keep it going strong.
Is cement stucco fire resistant?
Yes. Cement does not burn, so a stucco shell adds fire resistance to your exterior. That is one reason it has stayed popular for so long.
Do you restore old cement stucco, or only install new?
Both. We install new cement stucco and restore aging walls that already have it. Our crew matches the original texture and color.
Do you work on homes outside the Jersey Shore?
Yes. We serve all of New Jersey and parts of New York, including Manhattan and Hoboken. Call (732) 400-4020 to check 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.
