AJA Engineering, LLC

We had been advised by a local foundation company that we needed to add two steel beams and 12 smart jacks to ensure our home is stable. The firm was not clear as to the reason, other than a small crack in a joist. They indicated these were critical for our home and we paid the deposit immediately. When we couldn’t get sound reasoning from them, we hired AJA Engineering for a second opinion. Aboud responded quickly and got us on the schedule within the week. The engineer Juan was extremely knowledgeable and thorough, analyzing the full home and advising of each step in his process. The analysis from AJA Engineering saved us $10,000 and gave us peace of mind for our historic home.

AJA showed up in a timely manner and got right to the heart of the structural issue we are having on a commercial building. Aboud was able to provide a report within a short period of time and suggested corrective work that needs to take place. These folks really know what they are doing and I would hire them again without hesitation.

Our home sits above a huge retaining wall that was at risk of collapse. We had been misled by a fraudulent engineer’s letter claiming the previous repairs were done to spec when they were not. Many firms refused to take on the job due to the scale, tight access, and complexity. This was closer to a highway project than a residential one. AJA Engineering, especially Aboud and Amanda, stepped in when no one else would. They designed an eighty foot by twenty foot recon block wall, engineered carbon fiber reinforcement for a second wall, helped us hire the right contractors, and stayed with us every single day from start to finish. They adapted quickly when excavation uncovered new constraints, always focusing on safety, feasibility, and structural integrity. Their professionalism, expertise, and kindness were exceptional. We were so satisfied that we expanded their role into broader project management. We would hire them again in a heartbeat. Eleven out of ten. Highly recommended.

Aboud was so professional and efficient. He was on-time and ready to get to work with his assistant joining him. He generated a detailed and comprehensive analysis of major structural work in our old 2 family as well as plans on how to best bring everything up to code. Turned everything around in less than 2 days! Highly recommend.

They were very responsive upon my initial request and once we had reached an agreement they completed the work very efficiently. I was very happy with the job they did and would gladly work with them again.

The AJA team has done an excellent job. From the initial consult through the various stages of design all the way through the plans for construction. They also promptly came out for site visits while construction was underway. Very transparent on fees and billing. Overall, a very good experience.

Aboud was very prompt and professional with communications. He worked expeditiously and diligently with my project.

AJA Engineering exceeded our expectations from the first contact Prompt response, highly knowledgeable, and professional Abdou is a talented solution provider and will become a valued trade partner moving forward. Highly recommend!

Aboud and his team were absolutely fantastic. I called him needing architectural plans structurally engineered. I voiced to him that timing was my major concern as I was already behind on the project. He set up a visit for following day and had finished plans back to me in under two weeks. If I could leave a 10 star review, I would. The plans I received back were fool proof. Highly recommend Aboud and his team.

Aboud was excellent, helped us out in a short time frame on a Sunday. Was great at assessing the home we were interested in, Would highly recommend!

We would definitely hire them again in the future.

Fast and very professional. The plans were done well in advance and they had great recommendations for what we needed to do.

We hired Aboud in 2021 to investigate the supports in our basement of our 3 story wood frame house. He provided a detailed plan to make our house safe and sturdy. He was a delight to work with, and the usually picky inspectors loved his paperwork.

They returned our call quickly and scheduled the job promptly. Very satisfied with the professionally prepared report..

The renovation of a classroom was on a tight timeframe. Aboud helped us stay on track even though he was quite a distance from the project. He was very knowledgeable about older New England structures that really helped in our situation. I was very happy to work with Aboud and would call on him for future projects if needed.

We had a great experience with Aboud and his team. We built out the 2nd floor of a pre-existing building to create another classroom, staff room and office. There were many issues that came to light because of the age of the building and other structural issues. Aboud and his team quickly explained and remedied the issues.

Aboud from AJA Engineering was the most professional, patient, and detail-oriented engineer we encountered. We were facing a significant retaining wall issue, and Aboud guided us through various options available. It was reassuring to have the opportunity to discuss our concerns in detail and have him delve into the intricacies of our problems.

We were very pleased to work with Aboud and his firm. They were true professionals and gave us prompt attention throughout the project. We are a non-profit affordable housing organization and their assistance was invaluable in working with a complex project renovating an existing home and constructing an addition. The value for the fees spent was very much in our favor, and truly fit our budget. We look forward to working with them in the future, and give our whole-hearted recommendation for their work and the good relationship that was established.

I would highly recommend this company for any structural engineering projects. They were very thorough with ensuring my house could handle my ideas.

Very professional! Fast turnaround time. We are very happy that we hired Aboud as our engineer for our house Reno project. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs an engineer for their project.

Aboud and his team were excellent to work with. They offered great suggestions throughout our project and were very timely with their work. It was a seamless experience. I look forward to working with them again.
