Parging in Markham, done right

Markham mixes old and new like few places in the GTA. Heritage homes line Main Street Unionville and Markham Village, whole neighbourhoods went up through the 1980s and 90s in Milliken, Armadale and Cachet, and newer streets keep filling in across Cornell, Wismer, Greensborough and Berczy Village. Different eras of housing, same weak point: the parge coat protecting the exposed top of the foundation. Ontario winters are hard on it, and sooner or later it cracks, flakes or lets go in sheets.

That is where we come in. We handle foundation parging and parging repair across Markham, from small patch fixes to full strip-and-recoat jobs. We remove the loose material, prep the wall properly, and apply a fresh cement-based parge coat that bonds and cures the way it should. No smearing new product over a crumbling old coat. We treat your home like our own.

Parging and concrete work we do in Markham

Most of the calls we get from Markham homeowners land in one of these buckets:

• New parging for exposed foundation walls on new builds, additions and garages
• Parging repair where the old coat is cracked, hollow-sounding or falling away
• Full recoats when patch repairs would look patchy and fail at the edges
• Basement parging to smooth and seal rough block or poured walls inside
• Concrete work, including driveways, steps, porches and walkways

Parging is the bulk of what we do, but the concrete side matters in Markham too. Driveways here take a beating from plows, salt and freeze-thaw, and a cracked, heaved slab drags down the whole front of the house. If yours is past the point of patching, we pour and finish concrete driveways built for Ontario winters.

Why parging fails faster in Markham

York Region sits on heavy, clay-rich soil. Clay holds water against the foundation, and when that water freezes it expands and pushes on the parge coat from behind. Add the repeated freeze and thaw swings we get through winter and early spring, and even a well-applied coat has a hard life. A thin or poorly bonded one never stands a chance.

We see this most in the subdivisions built through the 80s and 90s. The original builder-applied parging on many of those homes was a quick, thin pass, and thirty-plus years later it is simply at the end of its life. Short downspouts, grading that slopes toward the house and snow piled against the wall all speed things up. When we quote, we point out these small fixes too, because a fresh parge coat lasts a lot longer when water is being steered away from it.
