Evaluation service
Expert opinion and second opinion on your project
Did you receive very different quotes and don't know which one is realistic? Was work already done and you doubt the quality? We give you an independent professional opinion with no conflict of interest.
- Comparative analysis of the quotes received
- Verification of the quality of completed work
- Estimate of corrections required if applicable
- Independent professional opinion, no commercial bias
Facade inspection
Facade condition, cladding and masonry
Cracks in masonry joints, warping cladding, moisture stains around windows: your envelope is sending you signals. We analyze everything from the cladding down to the visible foundation.
- Deformations, cracks and loose cladding joints
- Masonry joints: cracks and water infiltration
- Moisture stains and mold-risk areas
- Condition of the foundations and visible structure
Pre-purchase evaluation
Pre-purchase following an inspection report
Your inspector flagged exterior problems without telling you what they really cost. We visit the property and give you a realistic estimate before you sign.
- On-site visit to the targeted property
- In-depth analysis of issues identified by the inspector
- Realistic and detailed estimate of corrective work
- Report before signing to negotiate from a position of strength
Condominiums & Associations
Condominiums and associations: Bill 16

- Complete evaluation of the building envelope condition
- Documentation for the contingency fund study
- Prioritization of interventions by urgency level
- Precise budgeting over 5, 10 and 20 years

“Nous avons fait appel à EJA pour le revêtement extérieur (acier MAC) de notre agrandissement. Nous avons été en contact avec Emir pour la planification du projet et avec Jérémy et leur équipe pour l'exécution. Nous sommes très satisfaits de la qualité et de la rapidité d'exécution du travail effectué. Les commentaires Google, sur lesquels nous nous sommes fiés, sont bien fidèles à la réalité. Je recommande donc grandement les services de l'entreprise EJA pour vos projets de revêtement extérieur.”
“Mon premier contact avec l'équipe a été avec Emir. Il est venu rapidement, retournait ses appels. Il m'a bien accompagné pour la soumission, le permis et s'est montré patient avec le financement. Ensuite, Jérémie et son équipe ont fait la pose. Ils sont respectueux, vérifient les morceaux avant de les installer et ont corrigé des défauts sur la maison pour empêcher l'eau de s'infiltrer. À la fin de chaque journée, Jérémie faisait le tour avec nous et le chantier restait propre. On n'a pas eu de surprise, la communication était bonne et les délais respectés. Je recommande !”
“J'ai fait appel à EJA pour le revêtement extérieur de ma maison, qui était vraiment en mauvais état. Je suis absolument ravi du résultat : l'équipe a travaillé avec un grand souci du détail, et le changement est spectaculaire. Ma maison a retrouvé toute sa beauté, presque comme neuve. Je recommande vivement leurs services à quiconque veut redonner vie à l'extérieur de leur maison.”
“Très bonne expérience avec Jérémie et son équipe ! On a fait refaire une terrasse en hauteur, qui sert aussi de toit, et permet l'écoulement des eaux. L'équipe a bien travaillé dans des conditions météo difficiles et en hauteur. Le résultat est bien fait. Les communications étaient bonnes.”
“Excellent service. On a fait appel à EJA pour des travaux de calfeutrage pour notre copropriété. Très pro, bonne communication avant, pendant et après les travaux. 5/5”
“Les Entreprises EJA did an excellent job on the complete overhaul of the wooden siding of our chalet, and stand highly recommended for their reliability and conscientious work! Emir, Jeremie and their team reassured me that there are still hardworking young people out there, for whom a job well-done is not only a question of money well-earned, but also of professional pride and honor!”

Have other questions? Our team is here to help, at no cost and with no obligation.
What is the difference from a building inspection?
A building inspector is a regulated professional who evaluates the whole property. We offer a specialized evaluation of the building envelope: cladding, masonry, joints, insulation. It is more targeted, more technical, and comes with a realistic cost estimate for renovation work.
What are the fees for the evaluation?
A travel fee applies. Depending on the scope of expertise required (residential, multi-unit, condominium), a quote is provided before any intervention.
How long does the visit take?
Generally between 1 and 2 hours depending on the building size and the complexity of the issues observed.
Do you evaluate condominiums and multi-unit buildings?
Yes. Our team has experience with residential, multi-unit and commercial buildings. We adapt to the needs of condominium associations and property managers, including requirements under Bill 16.
How do I know if I qualify for Rénoclimat?
Eligibility depends on the building type, the planned work, and the energy improvement achieved. Contact us: we assess your situation, help you obtain quotes for eligible work, and guide you through the subsidy process.
Do you help with building permits?
Yes. We know the requirements of boroughs in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and the South Shore. Our team helps you prepare your permit application for exterior cladding and insulation work.
