A stucco inspection is one of the most valuable things a property owner can do — and one of the most overlooked. Most people wait until they see visible damage before calling a contractor, but by then the problem has usually been developing for years. At Plaster Pro Stucco Contractors, stucco inspections in Hackensack, NJ give homeowners, homebuyers, and commercial property owners a clear picture of their exterior’s actual condition — before small issues become expensive problems.
We’re stucco and EIFS specialists, not general home inspectors. That distinction matters. A general inspector looks at dozens of systems in a single visit. When we inspect stucco or EIFS, that’s all we’re focused on — and our 25+ years of hands-on experience means we know exactly what to look for and what it means.

A stucco home in Bergen County can be a great purchase — but only if you know what condition the exterior is in. EIFS and stucco systems have specific failure modes that general home inspectors often miss. A stucco inspection before closing gives you leverage in negotiations and protects you from inheriting someone else’s deferred maintenance.
If your stucco is 10+ years old, or if you’ve noticed any cracks, staining, hollow spots, or other changes in your exterior, a periodic inspection is worth scheduling. We also recommend inspections before winter, when freeze-thaw cycles will stress any existing issues.
Commercial EIFS and stucco systems cover large surface areas, and problems can go unnoticed in areas that aren’t regularly observed. A scheduled inspection helps you stay ahead of building envelope issues and plan maintenance budgets accurately.
Our inspections follow AWCI standards for building envelope assessment. AWCI (Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry)
If the inspection reveals issues that need repair, we provide separate estimates for that work. You’re not obligated to use us for repairs — the inspection and the repair estimate are separate. Our goal is to give you accurate information first.
If repairs are needed, we offer stucco crack repair, stucco delamination repair, and EIFS remediation, among other services — so we can handle whatever the inspection uncovers.
We conduct stucco inspections on residential and commercial properties throughout Hackensack, Teaneck, Paramus, Ridgewood, Englewood, Fort Lee, Wayne, Mahwah, Clifton, and into New York. Call (201) 750-3590 to schedule.
For a typical single-family home, a thorough visual inspection with sounding takes 1 to 2 hours. Larger properties or full moisture testing takes longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when you book.
A general home inspection covers dozens of systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and more) at a surface level. A stucco inspection is a detailed, focused assessment of the exterior stucco or EIFS system specifically — using techniques like sounding and moisture testing that general inspectors typically don’t perform.
If the home has stucco or EIFS exterior, we recommend it — especially for EIFS homes in New Jersey, which have a history of moisture-related issues from the 1990s and early 2000s when installation standards were not as well established.
The inspection itself identifies issues and their severity. If repairs are recommended, we provide separate estimates for that work. You’ll have a clear picture of both the condition and the cost before you make any decisions.
Yes. We inspect commercial stucco and EIFS systems throughout Bergen County and North Jersey, including multi-story buildings, commercial storefronts, and mixed-use properties.
