Very happy with their work. They repaired the chimney, and a corner of my garage wall where water was getting in, and repaired a small part of the driveway with asphalt. Answered all my questions. Nice people who are experts at what they do.

Highly recommend Parker Restorations! We were very nervous when we saw cracks in our foundation, but owner Brian brought us great peace of mind with his thorough inspection of the property and honest evaluation of the work needed. We easily couldve been taken advantage of by another company, but Parker gave us such a fair price while going above and beyond. The work was finished seemingly as soon as we booked it. The team is incredibly clean/polite/trustworthy & efficient. They are incredibly knowledgeable in many areas of house repair besides concrete, so accommodating to our needs. They are also excellent communicators, sending progress photos to keep us in the loop while they worked. If you are looking for this type of work, book a quote with Parker Restorations first.

Brian and Shelley came to repair/replace the parging on the foundation of my 100-year-old house. When they had removed the parging we found a lovely stone foundation under it, so the job became a restoration. They did the work with great attention to detail - the tuckpointing was amazing and they matched the grout colour and everything. Brian's passion for stonework is evident and it is reflected in a beautiful job. Plus, he contacted me for a start date when he said he would and started the job when he said he would.

Brian and his wife did such an amazing job on the tuck pointing on our house. They were very diligent and didn't miss a single crack. You can't even tell where the tuck pointing starts and ends because it blends in seamlessly with the current grout colour. They cleaned up before they left and we couldn't be happier with their service. You can tell they take pride in their work and they're excellent at it!! - Michaila & Brandon

We experienced Brians work on our next door neighbours front steps and were impressed. We had Parker back to fix our steps and retaining wall and he worked the same magic.

I started working with masonry at a very young age with my father - pouring footings and foundations, brickwork, etc. My wife and I have been working together on the job for over 10 years. She's an amazing masonry technician who really pays attention to detail as do I. I provide mortar color and brick matching services. I am also very skilled in stonework and enjoy building and restoring stone and brick structures such as porches, walkways and pillars, etc. My parging work is excellent as well. Our services include: Tuckpointing, Masonry & Bricklaying, Pointing of brickwork, Brick replacement, Porch - Repair/Rebuild, Parging, Stone Work - Walkways, Walls etc, Foundation Repair, Concrete Sidewalks. I look forward to working with you! regards, Brian Parker Parker Restorations

What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
