A crack in your stucco might look like a cosmetic problem, but it rarely stays that way. Left alone, even a small crack becomes a path for water to get inside your wall system — and once water is in, you’re dealing with a much bigger repair. At Plaster Pro Stucco Contractors, stucco crack repair in Hackensack, NJ is one of the most common calls we get, and it’s something we’ve been fixing the right way for over 25 years.
We’re a family-owned stucco contractor in Hackensack, and our approach is straightforward: diagnose what’s causing the crack, fix the root issue, repair the surface properly, and match the finish so the repair blends in. No patching over a wet substrate. No color that clashes with the surrounding wall.

Not all cracks are the same. The type of crack tells us a lot about what caused it and what the right repair approach is.
If we find moisture behind the surface, we’ll recommend waterproofing services or further investigation with a professional stucco inspection before closing up the wall.
We come out and look at the full picture: crack location, size, pattern, and any signs of moisture intrusion.
We test for moisture and check whether the underlying material is sound.
We widen and clean the crack to create a proper bonding surface.
We apply the right material for the crack type. For deeper cracks, we use a cementitious patching compound. For surface cracks, a flexible elastomeric filler.
We apply a finish coat and texture to match the existing stucco as closely as possible. This is where our stucco color matching expertise comes in — we take this step seriously so the repair doesn’t look like a patch job.
Most standard crack repairs are completed in one day. More extensive repairs — particularly those involving base coat removal or large surface areas — may take two to three days. We give you a clear timeline before we start.
We repair stucco cracks on homes and buildings throughout Hackensack, Teaneck, Paramus, Ridgewood, Englewood, Fort Lee, Mahwah, Wayne, Clifton, and surrounding areas. Our work also extends into New York, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Westchester County, and beyond.
If you’re seeing cracks in your stucco — even small ones — it’s worth getting them looked at before winter. North Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles will make existing cracks worse. Call us at (201) 750-3590 for a free estimate, or fill out our contact form.
It depends on the crack. Hairline cracks are usually cosmetic and easy to repair. Wider cracks, pattern cracking, or cracks near windows and doors can allow water intrusion and should be repaired promptly. When in doubt, get it inspected — catching a problem early is almost always less expensive than dealing with the damage later.
Yes, in most cases. Matching the exact texture and color of existing stucco takes skill and experience, but it’s something we’ve been doing for over 25 years. We’ll let you know during the estimate if a full recoat would produce a better result than a spot repair.
Common causes include normal thermal expansion and contraction, shrinkage during curing, settlement in the substrate or foundation, and moisture intrusion behind the stucco system. Cracks near openings are usually related to sealant failure or window/door frame movement.
Costs vary depending on the size and type of crack, how many cracks need repair, and whether any substrate damage is found. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all work — call (201) 750-3590 to schedule yours.
Yes. We work on commercial buildings throughout Bergen County and North Jersey. Commercial crack repair follows the same diagnostic process as residential — we assess the full exterior, not just the visible surface.
