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." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "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." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "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." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) ## Trades Bricklayer / mason, Carpenter, Concrete contractor, Demolition contractor, Driveway Paving, Flooring Contractors, General Contractors, Groundworker / excavation, Handyman, Landscaper, Tiler ## What we checked, and when _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MyTrustedTraders shows 33 public reviews on this profile.

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. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. - Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule. --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/parker-restorations-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
