The parging on the exterior of our foundation has fallen off and looks unsightly. Could anyone recommend anyone who does this job? I’m having a hard time finding anyone who will do it.

If you have a modern home then it has a poured concrete foundation with a "Brush Coat". Parging on the other hand is usually a 1/4 inch thick cement cover that is only required to cover concrete block foundations.

Much less skill and time is required to do a brush coat but a complete parging of a foundation would take much more time, takes skill, and will cost much more.

Both will require some prep time in order to do a good job.

Thanks. It is a poured concrete foundation so I guess I would need what remains of the old stuff ground off and a new brush coat applied. Anyone know who does a decent job for a fair price?
