Parging in Etobicoke, done right

Etobicoke has some of the best housing stock in the GTA, and some of the hardest working foundations. The postwar bungalows in Alderwood and Richview, the older brick homes around Mimico and New Toronto, the wide lots out in Markland Wood, most of them sit on a parge coat that has been through fifty or sixty winters. When that coat starts to crack, flake or drop off in chunks, the block or concrete underneath is left bare to the weather. That is where we come in. Toronto Parging & Concrete handles parging in Etobicoke all season long, from small patch repairs to full re-parging of an entire foundation.

We are a local crew, not a call centre. You get a free quote, usually the same day, and a straight answer on what your wall actually needs, a patch or a full redo. We treat your home like our own. No pressure, no surprises.

Parging services we offer in Etobicoke

Most of the calls we get in Etobicoke fall into a few buckets:

• Foundation parging: a fresh cement parge coat over exposed foundation walls, on newer builds and older homes alike.
• Parging repair: patching cracks, filling gaps and re-coating sections where the old parge has let go.
• Full re-parging: stripping a failed coat back to a sound surface and applying a new one that will actually stay put.
• Basement and garage walls: interior and exterior parging to tidy up rough block and protect it from moisture.

Every job starts with proper prep. We grind off loose and hollow material, clean the wall, apply a bonding agent, then trowel on a cement-based parge mix and let it cure. Skipping the prep is why so much parging in Etobicoke fails after a couple of winters. We do not skip it.

Why parging takes a beating near the lake

Etobicoke's south end sits right on Lake Ontario. Homes in Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch get wind off the water and more freeze-thaw swings than almost anywhere else in the city. Water works into a hairline crack, freezes, expands, and pops a little more of the coat off with each cycle. Further north, in Rexdale, Islington and Eatonville, the same thing happens a little slower, helped along by road salt splashing up from driveways and walkways.

None of that means your foundation is failing. In most cases the wall behind the parging is sound, and a proper repair or re-parge restores both the protection and the clean look. Catching it early keeps it a small job.

Concrete work, too

Parging is most of what we do, but concrete is the other half of our name. If your driveway is heaving, your front steps are crumbling or your walkway has sunk, we pour and finish concrete driveways, steps, porches and pads across Etobicoke. It is common for us to re-parge a foundation and redo the front steps on the same visit.
