Plaster Pro Stucco Contractors LLC Advises Bergen County Homeowners on Fall Maintenance to Prevent Winter Stucco Damage

Hackensack, NJ – As temperatures drop and winter weather approaches, Plaster Pro Stucco Contractors LLC is urging Bergen County homeowners to take advantage of the fall season to inspect and maintain their stucco exteriors. With New Jersey’s mix of rain, snow, and frequent freeze thaw cycles, small issues can escalate into significant and costly repairs if left untreated.

“Stucco is one of the most durable siding systems you can have, but in this region, it’s constantly tested by moisture and temperature swings,” said Shivon Pardasie, owner of Plaster Pro Stucco. “When water gets into cracks or gaps and then freezes, it expands, causing further damage. Fall is the window of opportunity to address these issues before the first freeze.”

Fall Stucco Maintenance Tips for Bergen County Homeowners

Plaster Pro Stucco recommends the following steps to keep stucco exteriors strong through the winter:

Inspect for Cracks and Birdholes
Even hairline cracks can let in water. Look closely around windows, doors, and trim for small gaps or holes caused by birds. Addressing them early prevents water infiltration and future structural damage.
Check and Replace Caulking
Old caulking around windows, doors, and joints often loses flexibility. Replacing it with high performance elastomeric sealant ensures a watertight seal that can expand and contract with changing temperatures.
Clean Stucco Surfaces
Dirt, mildew, and algae buildup can trap moisture against the stucco surface. Power washing in the fall not only refreshes the look of the home but also reduces the risk of long term staining or deterioration.
Seal Vulnerable Areas
Applying protective coatings or basecoats to moldings and trim helps prevent water and bird penetration. In some cases, an elastomeric finish provides an extra layer of defense that can extend the life of repairs.
Schedule Professional Inspection
Homeowners may not always spot subtle signs of damage. A fall inspection by a professional stucco contractor can uncover hidden vulnerabilities and provide peace of mind heading into winter.
