Reliable Parging Repair Services in Edmonton
Edmonton, Canada – February 26, 2026 / Solida Coatings Ltd. /
Expert Parging Contractor
For the past decade, the company has been assisting homeowners, builders, project managers, and a variety of contractors with numerous parging and related small construction projects. Parging serves as a protective coating system that safeguards foundation walls against elements such as ice, water, dirt, and sunlight, while also providing defense against issues like mold and rust. Additionally, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of walls through an array of textures and color choices.
Solida Parging has been operating for six years, offering support to individuals and businesses with a range of parging and related projects on a small to medium scale. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, the company provides free estimates within the greater city area and surrounding regions.
The services offered include:
- Traditional textured finishes
- Smooth textured finishes
- Acrylic options
- ICF-based solutions
- Pressure-treated plywood options
The company undertakes various types of projects, addressing needs such as repairs and patching of foundation, retaining, and basement walls. With a strong focus on detail, they manage nearly every aspect of the project from initial preparation to final cleanup. A thorough walk-around is performed with the client to ensure complete satisfaction; if the clients are unavailable, visual documentation such as photos and videos will be provided.
Parging Installation Process
Parging involves applying a thin layer of material that is particularly beneficial for foundation and basement walls. It effectively covers and strengthens the foundation with a protective coating against various hazards and external influences. Contrary to popular belief, concrete walls deteriorate and weaken over time, necessitating protection through the appropriate parge coating. This also applies to ICF foundations, which are covered with Styrofoam that can degrade and discolor under UV rays, as well as pressure-treated plywood that may swell and warp due to prolonged exposure to moisture.
For a standard poured concrete foundation, the process begins with the removal of pebbles, rocks, and dirt from the walls. Any protruding metal pieces are cut off, and the walls are thoroughly cleaned. A vapor barrier membrane is then applied over the exposed wood plates and rim joists, reinforced with A-mesh. If necessary or requested, flashings are installed, typically above basement windows and ventilation covers. Following this, a concrete bonding adhesive is applied before the thick parge coat is added. For ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) foundations, the walls are rasped, and EIFS trims are installed if required. In projects involving ICF and acrylic parging, the parge coat is embedded with fiberglass mesh, followed by the application of texture and color as per the client’s specifications. The premises are cleaned, and final touch-ups are completed.
Parging Repair Services
When sections of parging begin to crumble, it is advisable to consider a parging repair service to restore the foundation’s appearance. While small cracks are generally harmless and considered normal, deeper cracks can allow dirt and water to infiltrate, leading to the deterioration of the parging over time. The presence of water in these cracks can freeze during winter, expanding in size, and thawing in summer, which causes the parge coating to detach. Foundation shifting is another significant cause of parging cracks, particularly in areas where the garage connects to the main building, as shifts can result in sections of parging coming loose.
Color changes in the parging can also occur due to prolonged exposure to moisture. The parging absorbs moisture, and when temperatures rise, it can leave behind stains that alter the color of the surface. This effect can cause certain areas of the parging to appear darker and more matte. The company provides parging repair services of all kinds within the greater Edmonton area; however, for minor repairs like cracks and patches, they prefer to request visual evidence such as photographs rather than conducting an on-site estimate.
Parging installations and repairs not only enhance the visual appeal of foundation walls but also add an extra layer of protection against various hazards. It is a wise decision to ensure that foundation walls look attractive while safeguarding the basement. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out via phone or email for a prompt response.
