- When your bricks are crumbling
If you have a crumbling brick wall you gotta address it otherwise your house looks terrible. You can find your bricks at your local masons supply. In my area the masonry suppliers are masons masonry supply
www.masonsmasonry.com
I go to their location in Vaughan
and if they dont have it I go to blair building materials
blairbuildingmaterials.com
they are both great and have a vast selection of clay brick and stone or stone veneer and concrete
if they dont have it or the client doesn't have the budget the next alternative is parging.

You are the Bob Ross of parging

[@realtimeconstruction3423]

Thank u kind sir

[@simplysimon9868]

It looks awful. Replace the brick or even a cut brick slip

[@shatadal1]

Wow, the bricks sure look better than they did before! All these amazing uses for drinking water!

[@realtimeconstruction3423]

Thank you. It’s quite a simple process. As far as water, gotta get creative when the client is not at home.

[@alicramazan]

Thanks for this helpful video! One question. Why did you apply paint before parging concrete?

[@alexandroslagoudelis7121]

Hi there some concrete paint was left over in the mixing bucket. 😅

[@Hammerz0738]

It’s gonna make the problem a whole lot worse pal

[@markgibbins4143]

Don’t you use cement colours to match.

[@juliahenriques5955]

I have trouble with my concrete textures. Maybe you could do a concrete 101. When to use which ones and how thick to mix it

[@realtimeconstruction3423]

It really ranges depending on the uses of concrete. I will make a video on that thank you

[@alexl.a84]

this seems easy I think I can manage something like this.

[@realtimeconstruction3423]

I am here if u have any questionf

[@fhsfhs1]

is it possible to replace the bricks instead of using concrete?

[@realtimeconstruction3423]

Yes it’s only more time consuming and I like to offer my clients both the options in this case the client picked the faster cheaper option.

[@anthonypowless1052]

Can this be done over large sections of wall?

[@realtimeconstruction3423]

ideally you want to look for an issue above then is there's no large cracks you want to make sure the drainage moves the water away from the house. patches like this are temporary mostly for clients that want to see the house. Cover ups. The concrete will stay longer because of the portland added to the wall but if water leaks there or sits there or if water goes in the wall from behind the parking won't last

[@janearc5788]

What is the black stuff and what is it for thanks?

[@realtimeconstruction3423]

It’s portland mixed with water I accidentally dropped black concrete powdered colour in it

[@juliettahenriques3430]

Home deep sponge!! 😂

[@ja1a100]
