Realignment positions Ev-Air-Tight to lead major waterproofing and restoration projects, while Valcourt Building Services focuses on smaller projects, responsive repairs, and routine maintenance.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Valcourt Group, a leading provider of exterior building services, today announced a strategic realignment of its Washington, DC-area waterproofing and restoration businesses to better serve customers through more focused expertise, dedicated resources, and enhanced service delivery. 

The initiative brings together the teams and capabilities of Valcourt Building Services, Ev-Air-Tight, East Coast Building Services, and Superior Grouting & Restoration Services under two go-forward brands: Ev-Air-Tight and Valcourt Building Services. 

Both are Valcourt Group companies, bringing decades of local experience and trusted customer relationships, backed by the resources and support of a national organization. Each will have a distinct area of specialization to better serve customers across the region. 

“We’ve listened closely to our clients and trusted partners, and their message was clear: their properties have different needs throughout their lifecycles, from urgent repairs and routine maintenance to major, complex capital projects,” said Michael MacDonagh, Regional Vice President at the Valcourt Group. “Each requires a different level of responsiveness, expertise, and resources. We’re taking action by reorganizing around those needs and building specialized teams that focus on what they do best, ensuring every project, large or small, gets the right skilled team, approach, and attention it deserves.” 

Two Businesses, Distinct Specializations 

Under the realignment, Ev-Air-Tight and Valcourt Building Services will provide complementary waterproofing and restoration capabilities. Customers will benefit from specialized estimating and project management support, with teams and processes tailored to the scope and complexity of each project. Shared resources and expertise across both businesses will further strengthen coordination and consistency from planning through execution. 

Ev-Air-Tight: With more than 100 years of experience in the DC market and longstanding relationships with local engineering firms and ownership groups, Ev-Air-Tight will focus on major waterproofing and restoration work requiring advanced technical expertise, specialized craftsmanship, and comprehensive project management. Its teams will continue working closely with engineering firms, design professionals, property owners, and general contractors to execute complex capital projects from planning through completion. 

“For more than a century, Ev-Air-Tight has built its reputation on complex waterproofing and restoration work and strong relationships with engineering firms throughout the DC market,” said Rich Cassagnol, Operations Manager of Ev-Air-Tight. “By building on that legacy and drawing on East Coast’s major-project expertise, we’re strengthening our ability to execute challenging projects and deliver the specialized solutions our customers depend on.” 

Valcourt Building Services: The company is sharpening its focus on helping clients address building issues quickly, minimize disruption to tenants, and prevent small problems from becoming costly repairs. In addition to its established window cleaning services, Valcourt Building Services will focus its exterior building maintenance, waterproofing, and restoration operations on shorter duration projects, responsive repairs, and maintenance needs that require timely attention and specialized expertise. Through its ProXpress department, a dedicated rapid-response repair and maintenance team, the company provides efficient, quick-turn solutions to address urgent building envelope needs. 

“Our window cleaning and maintenance teams are regularly on our customers’ buildings, accessing areas that are difficult to see or inspect from the ground,” said Justin Hoover, General Manager of Valcourt Building Services – Waterproofing Division. “That firsthand access gives us valuable insight into building conditions, allowing us to identify potential issues early and help property managers prioritize maintenance and repairs. Combined with ProXpress’s responsive repair capabilities, this makes proactive maintenance, leak response, and waterproofing repairs a natural extension of what we already do every day for our customers.” 

A Coordinated Team, Built on Trusted Relationships 

As part of the transition, the people and capabilities of East Coast Building Services and Superior Grouting & Restoration Services will be integrated into the two go-forward businesses, with major-project teams joining Ev-Air-Tight and service and repair teams aligning with Valcourt Building Services. 

Matt McDougal, formerly General Manager of East Coast Building Services, will serve as Assistant General Manager of Ev-Air-Tight, helping bring together the teams and capabilities of both organizations. 

“East Coast’s reputation has always been built on the experience of our people and the trust we’ve earned from customers throughout the DC market,” said McDougal. “Those relationships remain central to our future. Joining forces with Ev-Air-Tight allows us to build on that foundation, expand the resources available to our customers, and continue delivering the quality work they expect.” 

Matt Butler has been appointed Regional General Manager, providing strategic leadership and coordination across the DC-area waterproofing and restoration operations of Valcourt Building Services and Ev-Air-Tight. Butler previously held a multi-branch leadership role at EDS, another Valcourt Group company, where he helped drive consistent growth in waterproofing operations. 

The realignment is designed to strengthen service delivery without disrupting established customer relationships. Existing projects and contracts will continue as planned, and customers can continue contacting the same people they work with today. 

“The goal of this realignment is simple: to serve our customers better by bringing greater specialization and deeper resources to the work we do, while maintaining the same level of service and responsiveness they expect,” said Butler. “Our customers can continue reaching out to the people they know and trust, and our teams will work together to ensure they have access to the expertise and support their projects require.” 

The realignment is expected to take effect January 1, 2027, with certain branding and operational changes being implemented in phases throughout the year.
