Home › Facade renovation contractors
The housing company board asks whether the price is visible before a quote request, whether a proper survey is available for free, what the warranty is and whether servicing is available after the renovation. These decide 50 points out of 100.
Score shows how the company does on our comparison criteria, on a 0–100 scale. Rankings cannot be bought.

| Buying motive | What is measured | Scale | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price before quote QUESTIONDoes the contractor disclose prices even before a request for quotation? | Whether the company's page has a price in euros or at least the pricing basis. | Price in euros = 100 points, only pricing criteria = 40, no price information = 0. | 22 p |
| Free assessment QUESTIONCan the condition of the property be surveyed free of charge? | Does the company say the survey or review is free of charge. | Free survey or review = 100, survey offered but free of charge not mentioned = 40, not mentioned = 0. | 10 p |
| Warranty QUESTIONWhat warranty is given for the work? | Does the company state the length of the warranty or only that a warranty exists. | Warranty period stated in years = 100, warranty mentioned but no duration = 50, not mentioned = 0. | 10 p |
| Servicing after renovation QUESTIONIs there a facade maintenance or upkeep service after the renovation? | Does the company offer maintenance or upkeep service for facades. | Maintenance or upkeep service offered = 100, not mentioned = 0. | 8 p |
| Basic metrics | Digital quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score | Basic metrics × 0.5 | 50 p |
We scored 6 contractors carrying out façade renovations and refurbishments for housing companies on 20 metrics: technical quality, transparency, reachability and data quality. The most important question: can the housing company's board see the methods offered, the warranty, the references and the operating company before submitting a request for quotation?
A housing company's facade renovation is one of a property's most expensive and longest-lasting repair projects. Because the final price depends on the condition of the facade, the chosen method and possible additional insulation, contractors rarely state a euro amount online. Instead, the housing company's board should look at who openly states the methods offered, the warranty, the references and the operating company, already before a quote request.
Pricing model or square-metre price range publicly stated (20), methods offered (rendering, coating, concrete repair, additional insulation) described (20), warranty on the work in years or warranty practice stated (15), condition survey or repair design as part of the service stated (10), published reference sites shown (15), RALA qualification, SUJU membership, ISO certification or other quality assurance mentioned (10), operating company and business ID (Y-tunnus) shown (10)
Transparency is 30% of the basic metrics, i.e. 15% of the total points · these metrics make up its 100 points · the full formula and the other pillars
How to read the comparison correctly: Half of the points come from buyer's questions, i.e. things the buyer finds out before deciding. The other half measures how openly the company publishes its prices, terms and contact details. Clear differences in points indicate a genuine difference: one tells you the price immediately, another only after logging in. Close scores should not be read as a ranking order, because every measurement has a margin of variation. The measurement accuracy and the full calculation formula are open in the methodology.
Customer experience is brought into the assessment separately. We also collect customer feedback and customer experiences about companies through separate surveys. The survey results will be added to the overall assessment later.
A housing company facade renovation typically costs 30-60 euros per square metre for washing and painting alone, and extensive plaster repair with added insulation can rise to 150-250 euros per square metre. The final price depends on the condition of the facade, the chosen method and additional insulation, so few contractors state an amount in euros online. For this reason, instead of pricing, the comparison emphasises the transparency of methods, warranty, references and quality assurance.
A façade renovation requires a permit and is a long-lasting investment. RALA qualification and membership of Suomen Julkisivu-Urakoitsijat Ry (SUJU) are voluntary quality marks that some contractors highlight and some do not. The operating company's business ID (Y-tunnus) tells the housing company's board who the contract is made with.
Ranking cannot be bought. The ranking is based on publicly verifiable information, not on contractors' payments or advertising.
Every company is measured with the same public formula: half of the points come from buyer's questions and half from basic metrics, which have four pillars: technical quality, transparency, reachability and AI quality score. Ranking cannot be bought, and you can see the origin of each point on the company's profile. Read the full methodology →
The price of a facade renovation depends on the size of the property, the condition of the facade, the chosen method and added insulation, so the same contractor can quote very different prices for two housing companies. For this reason the price only emerges after a condition survey and a request for quote. The rough per-square-metre estimates visible online (30-250 euros/m2) are indicative.
The terms are often used interchangeably. A light façade renovation usually means washing, spot repairs and maintenance painting, while façade refurbishment refers to more extensive repair, such as renewing the render, concrete repairs or additional insulation. The required scope is determined by a condition survey.
RALA qualification is a certificate of competence and reliability granted by an independent assessor, covering, among other things, references, staff qualifications and financial standing. It is not mandatory, but gives a housing company verifiable extra assurance about the contractor's background.
