Stucco Repair Edmonton
Sometimes it is tricky to know the difference between the various types of mortar-based exterior masonry finishes. Though the processes of parging repair and stucco repair are similar, there are a few notable differences to keep in mind to help determine which service you need for your home masonry repair needs.
Stucco Repair Edmonton
Both parging and stucco involve the application of a masonry coating to the surface of a home. Though parging is attractive and offers a more finished look than a bare, poured-concrete foundation, parging serves practical purposes that go beyond its appearance; while stucco’s purpose is almost entirely decorative.
Repair Foundation Cracks
The decision about how to repair foundation cracks will depend on a number of factors; not the least of which is determining whether it’s the foundation that is cracked, or it’s the coat of stucco or parging covering it! Because of the importance of a solid foundation, determining the nature and severity of any cracks is imperative.
A parging contractor can help seal any pits or surface-level imperfections in the foundation, but an actual crack that goes all or most of the way through is something that requires a foundation repair specialist. When any necessary repairs have been completed, a professionally applied coat of parging can help protect the foundation from future wear.
