— PARGING
Acrylic Parging & Coating
by Your Trusted Foundation Contractor in Sudbury & North Bay — a shield against water, weather, and freeze-thaw damage.
What is Parging?
Parging is defined as a thin layer of mortar applied on the outside of your foundation to protect it from water and weather damage.
As a trusted foundation contractor for Sudbury and North Bay, Foundation Masters offers professional parging services using both traditional mortar and modern acrylic formulations. We assess your foundation's condition and recommend the right product for lasting results.
In Northern Ontario, freeze-thaw cycles are relentless. Unprotected block and concrete foundations absorb moisture, then expand and contract with temperature changes — causing spalling, cracking, and eventual structural deterioration. Parging stops this cycle before it starts.
What is an Acrylic Parge Coating?
Acrylic parge coatings are a polymer-modified alternative to traditional cement parging. They bond more aggressively to the substrate, flex with temperature changes instead of cracking, and are available in hundreds of colours for a finished, professional appearance.
Foundation Masters uses premium acrylic coatings that outperform standard cement parging in cold-climate conditions — exactly what Sudbury and North Bay demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does parging last?
Traditional cement parging lasts 5-10 years; acrylic parging 15-20+ years in Northern Ontario conditions when properly applied.
Can parging be applied in winter?
We work within manufacturer-specified temperature ranges. Most applications require above-freezing temperatures. We schedule accordingly.
Does parging fix structural cracks?
Parging addresses surface protection. For structural cracks, Core-Fill or other repair methods may be required first — we'll assess and recommend the right combination.
