Concrete contractor Markham ONMasonry Markham is pleased to provide a variety of concrete services to residents and business owners of Markham, Ontario and surrounding areas including Richmond Hill, Aurora, Toronto, Whitchurch-Stouffville, Vaughan and more. Concrete is an impact-resistant and budget friendly building material made from a combination of Portland cement, water and aggregates like gravel, and used in a variety of applications including:
...the list goes on. Depending on the specific project, concrete masonry units (CMUs or more commonly known as cinder blocks) or poured concrete may be used. Each has its own set of differential features including budget, resistance to soil and water, lateral and vertical strength, longevity, and maintenance. However, in many cases, our masons will evaluate the individual project and advise the best type of concrete method to use. |

Our masonry contractors are also highly skilled at all types of concrete repairs. When you need a concrete crack repair for steps, porches, verandas, walkways, foundation, Masonry Markham ensures that we not just address the symptom of the damage (the crack, for example), but that we address the root cause of the problem. We ask ourselves what could have caused the damage. Was it an faulty original construction, or sloppy repair that needs further repair? And what’s the extent of the damage? Some cracks may appear superficial, but actually run deep into the concrete matrix. We do extensive evaluations and testing to ensure we identify the depth and extent of the defacement, and make certain to correct it accordingly. After all, we’re confident that no property owner wants to schedule an annual or bi-annual concrete repair when it should actually have no issues for many years. Unfortunately, in many cases where only the superficial issue is addressed by a previous masonry company, the foundation or structure may run into the same issues time and time again.
Along with concrete construction and repairs, our Masonry Markham professionals provide a service called parging. Many people are unfamiliar with the term, but they’ve seen it on many concrete foundations. Essentially, parging is a process where a mortar-like mixture is applied over foundational blocks. This serves two purposes: 1) it looks much better than bare foundation, and 2) it provides some protection from moisture. Parging has to be properly applied and maintained in order to prevent moisture from seeping in between the foundation wall and the mortar, which could cause concrete pitting, flaking or spalling, which would have to be repaired.
Masonry Markham is proud to be serving a vibrant and diverse community. The buildings and dwellings are relatively new compared to the more established districts of the GTA, but concrete is a prevalent building material in many homes and businesses, and if properly constructed and maintained, will provide a long-lasting product that will serve you well for many years. Call us today for a no-obligation estimate and we’ll be happy to discuss your next concrete repair and service request in more detail.
