Edmonton New Home Parging & Concrete Foundation Finishing

Transform Your Property with Professional New Parging Applications

Parging is the art and science of applying a thin coat of cementitious mortar to the exterior of a foundation wall. It’s a critical step in finishing any new build, offering both essential protection and a significant boost to your property's aesthetic appeal. A new parging application creates a flawless, durable surface that masks the imperfections of a bare foundation, providing a clean canvas that enhances the curb appeal of any home. Beyond its visual benefits, new parging serves as a vital first line of defense against the elements, protecting the underlying concrete from moisture damage, frost, and spalling. At EDM Parging, we specialize in new parging applications for a wide variety of foundations, ensuring every project is completed with a commitment to quality and lasting durability.

Why New Parging is a Non-Negotiable Step for Your Foundation

While a poured concrete or ICF foundation provides the structural skeleton of your home, it’s not designed to be exposed to the elements. Without a protective layer, the foundation is susceptible to deterioration that can compromise its long-term integrity.

• Aesthetic Enhancement: Unfinished foundations often show formwork marks, hairline cracks, and other minor imperfections from the construction process. Parging smooths out these flaws, giving your home's exterior a finished, professional look. It can be applied with a variety of textures, from smooth to textured, allowing for a personalized touch that complements your home's design.

• Moisture and Water Protection: Parging acts as a crucial barrier against moisture. In climates like Edmonton’s, where wet conditions and heavy snow are common, this barrier prevents water from seeping into the concrete. This helps to prevent leaks in your basement and protects the foundation from the damaging effects of trapped moisture.

• Defense Against the Freeze-Thaw Cycle: The expansion and contraction of frozen water within the pores of concrete can cause it to crack and crumble over time, a process known as spalling. Parging creates a moisture-resistant layer that prevents this from occurring, extending the lifespan of your foundation and saving you from costly repairs down the road.

• Pest Control: The smooth surface of parging makes it more difficult for insects and other pests to burrow into small holes or cracks in the foundation, adding another layer of protection for your home.

Our Expertise in New Parging Applications

At EDM Parging, we pride ourselves on our ability to handle new parging applications on a variety of foundation types, using only the best materials and techniques. Our process is meticulous, ensuring a superior result every time.

Concrete Foundation Parging

This is the most common type of new parging application. Our process begins with thorough surface preparation. We ensure the concrete is clean and free of any debris, then apply a specialized bonding agent to ensure an unbreakable bond between the concrete and the new parging mortar. Our expert technicians then apply a durable, uniform coat of parging, creating a beautiful and resilient finish. We are experienced in working on both residential and commercial projects, providing a consistent, high-quality finish for every foundation we touch.

ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Foundation Finishing

ICF foundations are becoming increasingly popular for their superior insulation and structural strength. Finishing an ICF foundation requires a specific skill set to ensure the parging adheres properly and works in harmony with the building envelope. We have extensive experience in applying parging to ICF foundations, using specialized materials that are compatible with the foam panels. This ensures a strong, durable, and visually appealing finish that enhances the energy efficiency and longevity of your ICF home. Our team knows how to properly prepare the surface and apply the parging to create a seamless, integrated finish that is both beautiful and functional.

The EDM Parging Difference: Quality Materials and Expert Application

The secret to a long-lasting, durable parging application lies in the quality of the materials and the skill of the application. At EDM Parging, we use a premium cementitious mix specifically designed for parging. Our mixes are fortified with high-end polymer admixtures that enhance their strength, flexibility, and resistance to water and salt damage. This makes our applications far superior to standard mixes and ensures your new parging will withstand the test of time.

Our technicians are highly skilled and trained in the art of parging. We understand the nuances of different foundation types and are meticulous in our application. From the initial surface preparation to the final finishing touches, we ensure every step of the process is performed with the utmost care and professionalism. We believe that a quality parging job is a blend of craftsmanship and science, and we bring both to every project.

Whether you're a homebuilder looking for a reliable partner for your new developments or a homeowner building your dream property, EDM Parging provides the expertise and quality you need.
