Stucco Contractor in Princeton, NJ

JARART LLC has been installing, repairing, and painting stucco across Princeton and Mercer County for nearly a decade. With more than 50 five-star reviews from local homeowners and businesses, we bring the materials, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that Princeton properties need to look great and hold up through New Jersey’s seasons.

Princeton’s housing stock spans everything from pre-war colonials near Nassau Street to newer construction toward West Windsor and Plainsboro, which means stucco work here covers a wide range of ages and systems — from original hard-coat walls that have never been touched to EIFS installed within the last couple of decades. Knowing which system you have, and how it was built, matters before any repair or repaint begins.

Stucco Work on Princeton’s Historic Properties

A number of homes and buildings in central Princeton sit within a locally designated historic district, where exterior work — including stucco repair, repainting, or a color change — can require a preservation plan reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. According to the Township’s own guidelines, routine maintenance generally doesn’t need approval, but repainting a building a different color, or work that changes the look of the facade, typically does. Depending on scope, a plan can be approved administratively by the Historic Preservation Officer in as little as 15 days, or it may need to go before the full Commission at their next scheduled meeting.

If your property falls under historic review, we can help plan the work — color matching, texture, and scope — in a way that’s consistent with what the Commission typically looks for, so the project isn’t held up partway through.

FAQ — Stucco in Princeton

Does my Princeton property need approval before stucco work?

It depends on the work and the location. If your property is in a locally designated historic district, a color change or facade-altering repair may need a preservation plan reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. Routine maintenance and like-for-like repairs generally don’t. We can help you figure out which category your project falls into before work begins.

What’s the most common stucco issue on older homes near central Princeton?

On hard-coat stucco homes built before the area’s modern EIFS systems became common, the most frequent issues are cracking and water intrusion around window and door trim, where original flashing and caulking have aged out over the decades. Catching this early with proper resealing is usually far cheaper than waiting for it to turn into a larger repair.
