Surface Coating
Parging: Professional Protection for Your Property
Parging is a special layer of mortar used to cover and protect the foundation of your building. It acts like a shield for your exterior and basement walls. In the Peterborough area, the weather changes quickly between freezing and melting. This can cause uncoated walls to crack or fall apart. When that happens, water and bugs can get inside your home. Our services help fix these local problems.
We apply a new layer to strengthen old concrete and help your house look its best. Whether you have an old home in Cobourg or a shop in downtown Peterborough, our team provides a solution that lasts through the tough Ontario winters. We make sure your yard is tidy when the job is done. You can feel good about your choice because we promise to do the work correctly.
Lasting Barriers
Why Choose Professional Parging for Foundations and Walls?
A good layer of parging is about more than just making a wall look smooth. It creates a strong wall against rain and wind. In older houses, small cracks can allow moisture to seep into the basement. This leads to bad smells and even mould. Our services stop these problems before they can start. For people in Peterborough and Lindsay, hiring a team with full insurance is the best way to protect your property.
We use the best materials to ensure the coating stays firmly attached to the wall for a long time. This is very important for basements and the parts of your foundation that sit in the dirt. We know how to work with old bricks and modern blocks. We pick the right mix for every job so your building stays safe from the elements for many years.
Three-Way Shield
Our Parging Services: Foundation, Exterior, and Basement Walls
Our team offers three main types of parging to help different parts of your building. Foundation parging covers up ugly marks and helps stop cracks from getting bigger when the ground moves in the winter. Exterior wall parging creates a clean look that keeps out the wind and rain. Basement wall parging is very important for stopping water from leaking inside.
Before we start, we check the walls for hollow spots or bulges. We fix those spots first so the new coating stays strong. We have worked on many homes in the Kawarthas and know the best way to handle every surface. We want your property to be safe and dry while also looking great from the street.

FAQS
Common Questions About Parging and Foundation Coatings
Why is my old parging falling off in big chunks?
This usually happens because water got trapped behind the coating or the wall was not cleaned properly before the parging was put on. We remove the loose parts and use a special bonding mix to make sure the new layer stays attached.
Can you put parging over a painted foundation?
Parging does not stick well to paint. We usually have to remove the paint or use a special metal mesh to make sure the new mortar has a strong grip on the wall.
How thick should the new layer of parging be?
A good layer is usually about half an inch thick. This is enough to protect the wall without being so heavy that it pulls away from the concrete.
Does parging need to breathe?
Yes. We use a mix that allows tiny amounts of moisture to escape from your foundation. This stops water from getting trapped inside the wall, which could cause the bricks to rot over time.
Is it okay to parge over the weep holes in my brickwork?
No. We are very careful to keep those small holes open. They are there to let water drain out from behind your bricks. If they are covered, it can cause big problems inside your walls.
