Parging is the application of a mortar-based coating to the exterior of your foundation walls. It protects the concrete or block from moisture infiltration, freeze-thaw damage, and deterioration-and gives your home's foundation a clean, finished appearance.
In Northern Ontario, foundations take a beating from years of frost cycles, water infiltration, and settling. Cracked or spalling parging isn't just an eyesore-it's an open door for water and insects to enter your foundation. Northstead repairs damaged sections properly before re-applying a full coat, so you're not just covering up the problem.
If water is pooling next to your house, we can combine parging work with re-grading to ensure water sheds away from your foundation entirely. Addressing the source of the problem at the same time as the cosmetic fix is always the right call.
"Super super happy with the job that NorthStead did widening our paved driveway with an interlocking brick section, complete with new retaining wall and paver steps. Darin and the team were really professional and friendly, had great ideas of their own, and also open to suggestions along the way. Fully recommend their quality work!"
"Darin & his crew did an amazing job on my backyard, fence & front yard. Darin kept me updated all along. His staff worked incredibly hard through all kinds of weather conditions to keep on track. They went above & beyond & I could not be happier with the outcome."
"The Northstead crew are first rate. Nothing was rushed and all work was meticulously inspected by Darin. I highly recommend them!"
