New Applications, Repairs and Full Replacement

Parging is a cementitious protective and decorative finish applied to exposed concrete and masonry foundation walls. It improves appearance and provides a serviceable exterior surface that can tolerate normal wetting, drying and seasonal exposure.

The correct scope depends on the existing bond, substrate, cracking, previous repairs and exposure at the grade line. Localized damage may be repairable, while widespread separation or deterioration usually calls for removal and replacement.

  • New cementitious foundation-parging applications
  • Localized repairs where the surrounding finish remains sound
  • Removal and replacement of extensively failed material
  • Texture matching and clean transitions around windows and corners
Important: Parging is not a substitute for structural repair, drainage correction or below-grade waterproofing.

30-Year Transferable Warranty

Our qualifying parging work is backed by a 30-year transferable warranty at no added cost. Review the warranty document for full terms and exclusions.

Repair or Replacement: Choosing the Right Scope

We assess whether the existing finish is sound enough for a localized repair or whether removing the failed material will provide the better long-term result.

Localized Work

Parging Repair in Edmonton

Repair may be suitable when the surrounding parging remains firmly bonded and the damage is limited to specific areas.

  • Hairline or localized cracking
  • Small chipped or impact-damaged areas
  • Limited loose sections near grade
  • Repairs that can be blended into the existing texture

If damage is widespread or the surrounding finish is hollow, replacement is generally more reliable.

Remove & Re-Apply

Full Parging Replacement

Replacement is usually recommended where bond failure or surface deterioration extends across a substantial portion of the foundation.

  • Large hollow or separating sections
  • Repeated patches that continue to fail
  • Heavily deteriorated or uneven finishes
  • Existing coatings that no longer provide a reliable base

Removing unsound material allows the new cementitious finish to be installed over a properly prepared surface for a more consistent appearance and bond.

Foundation Parging for ICF, Block and Poured Concrete

Foundation construction affects preparation, reinforcement and the complete parging assembly. The same application method is not appropriate for every substrate.

ICF Foundations

ICF surfaces require an appropriate reinforced base, suitable membranes and metal lath before the cementitious finish is applied. The assembly must suit the exposed foundation condition.

Block Foundations

Mortar joints, variable surface texture and previous coatings must be prepared carefully. Loose material is removed so the replacement coating can bond to a stable masonry surface.

Poured Concrete Foundations

Cracks, honeycombing, form-release residue and existing coatings can affect adhesion. The concrete is assessed and prepared before repair or new parging is applied.

Materials and Finish Options for Edmonton Foundations

We use professional cementitious parging materials, bonding products and reinforcement methods selected for the substrate, existing condition and exposure.

Cementitious Materials and Reinforcement

  • Cement-based mortar suitable for concrete and masonry
  • Compatible bonding products where required
  • Fibreglass mesh over cracks and vulnerable transitions
  • Galvanized lath and suitable membranes for applicable non-masonry areas
  • Controlled mixing, application thickness and curing

Texture and Appearance

  • Smooth or fine-textured finishes
  • Heavier hand-applied textures where appropriate
  • Clean and consistent foundation finishes
  • Localized repairs blended as closely as practical
  • Neat detailing around corners, penetrations and windows

We use cementitious parging systems selected for conventional concrete and masonry foundations.

Our Parging Process

A durable result depends on assessment, preparation, bonding, application thickness, finishing and controlled curing.

2. Protection

Protect nearby siding, windows, landscaping and finished surfaces.

3. Removal

Remove loose or unsound material where required.

4. Preparation

Clean and prepare the substrate for the selected bonding method.

5. Reinforcement

Address cracks, transitions and applicable non-masonry areas.

6. Application

Apply and compact the material to the appropriate thickness.

7. Texture

Finish the surface consistently with neat edges and transitions.

8. Cleanup & Curing

Clean the property and provide basic curing guidance.

“They were on time and did great work. Friendly and explained how they were doing the job. Im very happy with the work they did.”

Pamela in EdmontonParging

“The crew that was here got the job done in just a few hours. I couldn't believe how fast they were. And the noise wasn't really that bad. The final product is amazing. I don't think the parging has ever been repaired on my 1950s bungalow. Now, all the cracks, imperfections and any crumbling bits are gone and it looks SO amazing! It really has made a huge difference in the appearance of my house. Highly recommend!”

Very happy with results!”

Grant, St., Beaumont, ABOld Parging Removal And New Parging Applied

“Josh came out for a quote the next morning after I called J and J Coatings and took the time to explain everything they would do and answer my questions. I was told it was a two week wait for bookings. To my surprise when I called to hire them, they had an opening a few days later. The crew was able to finish the job over the course of an afternoon. They were courteous, professional, and cleaned everything up. The new parging looks great too and is backed by a long warranty.”

Dustin, Edmonton, ABAmazing Company And Service

“Competent, reliable honest trustworthy. Repaired parging and hairline cracking in Foundation. Work completed May 16th, 2023 and was done quickly with all debris cleaned up and removed. Looks great! Bonus 30 year warranty and finding of a possible problem and repair of foundation wall that certainly would have caused problems in the future. Thank you.”

Louise Rogucki, Sherwood Park, ABParging And Foundation Hairline Detoration

“Great work, exactly as quoted, minimum disturbance of my flower beds and shrubs. Came on the day they were scheduled, finished the work in a timely manner and were great to deal with. Listened to my pre work concerns and provided a good explanation of what I could expect from the work. Once the work started it went along smoothly and exactly as described. I wish all contractors operated this way, I was really happy with the quality and performance of the work scope. I'd recommend to anyone looking to have this type of work done.”

Michele in Vancouver, Edmonton, ABParging

“The parging on the foundation of our home had been painted by a former owner, some was falling off, cracked, etc. J And J removed all faulting parging, did a great job of cleaning up, then replaced it. They did such a good job--it looks like a new house! We are delighted with the work.”

Private User, Edmonton, ABReplace Old Parging On Foundation Of Our Home

“Looks fantastic. Well - organized high - quality work. Excellent curb appeal. This home has foundation cracks. Expansion and contraction occurred 2 months after the job was completed {not their fault}. I called their office, they came back to the site, repaired the affected areas with a coating solution, free of charge. Excellent work!”
