Brick is one of the most enduring building materials available — when it’s installed correctly. A properly built brick installation looks great from day one and can last for generations with minimal maintenance. But a poor installation, with incorrect mortar mixes, improper drainage, or rushed coursework, can lead to cracking, spalling, and water infiltration within just a few years. At Plaster Pro Stucco Contractors, brick installation in Hackensack, NJ is part of our broader masonry contractor services — and we bring the same craftsmanship to every brick job that we bring to our stucco and EIFS work.
We’ve been working with brick, stone, and masonry materials throughout Bergen County and North Jersey for over 25 years. Whether you’re looking for a full brick exterior installation, a decorative brick accent feature, or brick and block work for structural purposes, our crew has the experience to do it right.

For new construction or full replacement, we install traditional full-thickness brick veneer exteriors on residential and commercial buildings. Full brick installation requires careful attention to structural ties, weep holes, flashing, and drainage — all the details that ensure the system performs as designed. The Brick Industry Association sets the technical standards we work to on full brick projects.
We handle structural and decorative brick and block work for foundations, retaining features, planters, columns, and other applications throughout Hackensack and Bergen County. This type of work is closely related to our stone facades and masonry capabilities — both require understanding how masonry materials behave over time and how to build systems that hold up.
Not every brick project is a full exterior. We install brick accents around entryways, window surrounds, chimney faces, and architectural details that add character to residential and commercial properties.
For property owners who want the look of brick without the weight or structural requirements of full brick installation, thin brick systems are an excellent option. We install thin brick facades that replicate the appearance of traditional masonry at a lower cost and with less structural impact.
Good brickwork is as much about preparation as it is about laying brick. Before the first course goes down, we verify the substrate condition, plan the coursing and bond pattern, select mortar that’s compatible with the brick type being used, and account for movement joints where the building requires them.
We lay each course to line, check for plumb and level consistently throughout the job, and tool joints to the correct profile before the mortar fully sets. The finish quality — the consistency of joint widths, the cleanness of the tooling — is what distinguishes craftsman brickwork from a rushed installation.
After the installation is complete, we clean the brick face and inspect the full installation before considering the job done.
We install brick on residential and commercial properties throughout Hackensack, Paramus, Ridgewood, Teaneck, Englewood, Fort Lee, Mahwah, Wayne, and the broader Bergen County area, as well as neighboring communities in Essex, Passaic, and Morris Counties.

Full brick veneer uses standard-thickness bricks (typically 3.5 to 4 inches thick) and requires a foundation ledge or structural support. Thin brick is a facing material — typically 0.5 to 1 inch thick — that is adhered to the substrate. Full brick is heavier and more durable; thin brick is lighter, less expensive, and can be applied to surfaces that won’t support full brick. We’ll recommend the right option based on your project.
When properly installed and maintained, brick is one of the longest-lasting exterior materials available. Full brick veneer installations regularly last 50 to 100+ years. The mortar joints are the first thing that typically needs attention — tuckpointing every 25–50 years is the main maintenance requirement.
We make every effort to match existing brick on additions and repairs, sourcing from the same manufacturers or finding close matches. An exact match on older brick can be challenging — we’ll be upfront about what’s achievable before we start.
Yes. We repair cracked, spalling, or damaged brickwork, and perform tuckpointing (mortar joint repair) on existing brick throughout Bergen County.
Most structural brick installations require permits. We handle the permit process as part of our project management. Cosmetic brick accent work may or may not require permits depending on your municipality.
