Parging in Newmarket

Newmarket covers a lot of ground for a town its size. There are older homes around Main Street and Huron Heights, big 1980s and 1990s subdivisions through Summerhill Estates and Glenway, and newer builds up in Stonehaven and Armitage. Different decades, different foundations, one shared problem: the exposed strip of concrete or block between the grade and the brick wears down under York Region winters, and the parging on it starts to crack, flake or pop off.

That is the work we do. Toronto Parging & Concrete handles parging in Newmarket all season long. We patch spalled walls, strip failed coatings and trowel on fresh parge that actually stays put. Quotes are free, most go out the same day, and every job is covered by our 5-year workmanship warranty.

Parging services we offer in Newmarket

Most of the calls we get from Newmarket fall into a few buckets:

• Foundation parging. A fresh cement parge coat over the exposed concrete or block at the base of your home.
• Parging repair. Patching cracks, flaking and hollow spots before water gets in behind them.
• Basement parging. Smoothing and sealing interior or exterior basement walls.
• Concrete work. New concrete patios, steps and walkways, poured and finished properly.

Parging is the bulk of what we do, and concrete comes second. If your front steps are spalling or the back patio has settled, we can handle it on the same visit. Plenty of Newmarket customers bundle a recoat with new concrete and get both done at once.

Why builder-grade parge fails on newer Newmarket homes

A lot of Newmarket grew fast, and fast subdivisions often mean thin, builder-grade parge coats. The newer homes in Stonehaven and Armitage are old enough now that their original coating is reaching the end of its life. It was applied quickly over green concrete, and it tends to let go in sheets once a few winters have worked on it. The 1980s and 1990s homes in Summerhill Estates and Glenway are at the same stage, just a decade further along.

The older homes near Main Street have the opposite history. Block and rubble foundations there have often been patched two or three times over the decades, and each layer traps the problems of the one under it. Moisture works in behind a loose patch, freezes, and pushes everything off at once. Either way, the fix is the same discipline. We remove anything loose or hollow, prep the surface, apply a bonding agent, then trowel on a cement-based parge coat built to handle our winters. Done properly, it protects the foundation instead of just dressing it up.

Catch it early and a repair is quick and straightforward. Leave it and the damage spreads, water reaches the concrete itself, and winter widens every gap it finds. If you can see bare foundation, bubbling or white staining at the base of your wall, it is time to have someone look at it.
