Parging in Ottawa protects the exposed concrete of your foundation and gives the base of your home a clean, finished look. Over the years, Ottawa’s freeze-thaw winters crack and flake that coating until the wall underneath starts to show. Interlock Experts repairs, recoats, and refinishes parging on homes across Ottawa and the surrounding area.
We apply and repair parging on the concrete surfaces between your siding and the ground.
Foundation walls and the exposed top of the footing.
Cinder block and poured-concrete walls.
Front steps, porches, and parapets.
Garage and addition foundations.
Retaining and garden walls.
If you can see bare or crumbling concrete around the base of your house, it’s a parging job.
Most calls we get are repairs, not new builds. Old parging fails in a few familiar ways – and each has a fix.
From settling and frost movement.
Where the old coat lost its bond.
Chunks broken away, leaving pits.
From moisture sitting against the wall.
We chip back the loose material, prep and bond the surface, then apply a fresh coat that’s troweled to match the rest of your foundation. For walls that flex or sit in damp ground, we’ll recommend a flexible acrylic parging instead of a standard cement mix.
We find why the old coat failed – moisture, movement, or age.
Loose, flaking, or hollow-sounding material comes off.
We prep the surface so the new coat holds.
Even coats, textured to match your foundation.
We leave a tidy, uniform foundation.
Price depends on the height and length of the wall, how much old material has to come off, and the finish you want. A small repair is a quick, affordable job; a full foundation recoat is larger. We give a firm number after a quick look – see parging cost in Ottawa for what drives the price, or send a photo for a fast estimate.
A small, local crew with a 5-star Google rating. You deal with the people doing the work, not a call centre.
Parging pairs with our interlock work – many driveways and walkways sit right against the same foundations, so we finish the whole base of the house together.
Same family-owned Ottawa crew running every project since 2009.

Traditional cement parging is hard-wearing and matches most foundations. For walls that move or stay damp, a flexible acrylic parging resists cracking. We help you pick the right one during the on-site look.
Quote was itemized and clear. No pressure, no follow-up calls — just a professional crew that showed up when they said they would.
The team was very reliable. I loved working with them. I would highly recommend them again.
The interlock that was done was timely, and efficient. I would recommend the team again, and I appreciate the work you’ve done.

Parging is a thin cement or acrylic coating applied over the exposed concrete of a foundation. It protects the wall from moisture and gives the base of the house a clean, finished look.
It depends on the size of the wall, how much old material has to be removed, and the finish. A small repair is affordable; a full foundation recoat is larger. Send a photo for a fast estimate.
Cement parging typically lasts 10 to 20 years. Lifespan depends on surface prep, moisture, and freeze-thaw exposure – most early failures come from poor prep or water sitting against the wall.
Yes. When the rest of the coating is sound, we chip back and patch the failed areas and blend the finish. A full recoat is only needed when most of the old parging has failed.
Cement parging is traditional and hard-wearing. Acrylic parging flexes and resists cracking, which suits walls that move or stay damp. We recommend the right one on-site.
Parging needs above-freezing temperatures to cure properly, so we schedule it from spring through fall. Winter months are for quotes and planning.
