Sometimes repair isn’t enough. When a stucco or EIFS system has failed across large portions of a building — whether from age, improper installation, persistent moisture intrusion, or extensive stucco delamination — the right answer is exterior facade replacement. It’s a bigger project than a repair, but it gives you a clean slate, a properly installed system, and years of protection you won’t get from patching a failing exterior.
At Plaster Pro Stucco Contractors, exterior facade replacement in Hackensack, NJ is one of our core services. We’ve completed full facade replacements on residential homes, commercial buildings, and multi-unit properties throughout Bergen County and North Jersey. Our owner has been doing this specific type of work for over 25 years, and our crew handles every step — from tear-off to final finish coat.

If you’re not sure whether you need replacement or repair, we’ll give you an honest answer during the site assessment. We’ll tell you if repair is the right move — we don’t push replacement when it isn’t warranted.
We recommend exterior facade replacement when:
Before any work starts, we inspect the full building envelope — not just the areas with visible damage. We check for moisture intrusion, substrate condition, and any structural issues that need to be addressed before new exterior material goes on.
We remove the existing exterior system completely — stucco, EIFS, lath, and any damaged substrate layers. This gives us full visibility into the condition of the building’s sheathing and framing.
Any water-damaged sheathing or framing is repaired or replaced at this stage. We also install or renew the moisture barrier and flashings around all penetrations — windows, doors, electrical — where water most commonly enters. This is also the right time to integrate waterproofing into the building envelope if it wasn’t part of the original system.
We install the new exterior system according to the manufacturer’s specifications and EIMA standards — whether that’s a new EIFS system, hard coat stucco, or another approved exterior cladding. Our team is experienced in all major systems and can work with your architect or general contractor if the project requires it.
The final step is applying the finish coat in your chosen texture and color, and ensuring all trim, reveals, and architectural details are properly completed. We don’t consider a job done until the full building looks right.
Commercial facade replacement projects are a significant part of our work. Property managers and building owners throughout Hackensack, Jersey City, and the New York metro area call us for commercial exterior work.

Contact us for a free assessment or call (201) 750-3590. We’ll come out, evaluate your building honestly, and give you a clear proposal.
Key indicators for replacement: delamination visible in multiple areas of the building, damage discovered inside the wall cavity during a repair, extensive moisture damage to the substrate, or an exterior system that’s 30+ years old with a history of recurring problems. We’ll assess this honestly during your estimate.
On a typical single-family home, a full facade replacement takes one to three weeks depending on the scope. Commercial buildings take longer based on size. We provide a detailed timeline with every proposal.
We handle the full scope of the exterior replacement — removal, substrate repair, moisture barrier installation, new system application, and finish work. If structural repairs are needed beyond our scope (foundation issues, framing damage requiring a structural engineer), we’ll coordinate with the appropriate specialists.
Yes. Facade replacement is an opportunity to change systems. We can move from hard coat stucco to EIFS for better insulation value, or to fiber cement siding for lower maintenance, depending on your goals and budget. We’ll walk you through the options during the estimate.
In most cases, yes. We handle the permit application process as part of the project. Requirements vary by municipality — we’re familiar with the permitting process in Hackensack, Bergen County, and the surrounding communities we serve.
