Stucco & Foundation Parging in Lexington Center, Lexington, MA
Looking for stucco & foundation parging in Lexington Center in Lexington, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Lexington and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Lexington's colonial homes and stone walls need repairs that look like they were always there.
Housing in Lexington Center in Lexington includes homes sitting on fieldstone and block foundations, and road salt and plow damage every winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our stucco & foundation parging work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. Parging is the cement coat on the exposed part of your foundation. When it cracks and falls off, water and frost start working on the block or stone underneath. We remove loose parging, repair the substrate, and apply a bonded, breathable new coat.
Response time in Lexington: Estimates within 24 hours · Typical range $600 – $4,500

Local FAQ
Stucco & Foundation Parging in Lexington Center, Lexington: questions answered
How much does stucco & foundation parging cost in Lexington Center, Lexington, MA?

How quickly can you start stucco & foundation parging in Lexington Center, Lexington?
Estimates within 24 hours in Lexington. Most projects are scheduled within one to three weeks, and safety hazards are prioritized.
Do I need a permit for stucco & foundation parging in Lexington?
Minor repairs usually don't need a permit, but rebuilds, new structures, and tall retaining walls often do under the Massachusetts building code. We check with the Lexington building department and pull permits when required.
Which areas near Lexington Center, Lexington do you also serve?
Besides Lexington Center, East Lexington, Countryside, we regularly work in nearby Waltham, Framingham, Natick, and every community within 45 miles of Boston.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Lexington?
Yes. Ultimate Boston Masonry is licensed, fully insured, and family-owned with 5 years of experience on Greater Boston brick and stone.
Why is the parging falling off my foundation?
Moisture wicking up from the ground freezes behind the coating, or it was applied without proper bonding. Removing the loose areas and re-parging with a bonding agent solves it.
Is parging just cosmetic?
It is partly cosmetic, but it also shields block and mortar from water and frost. Missing parging lets the foundation deteriorate faster.
