The buildings in the Plateau-Mont-Royal

The Plateau is plex country: duplexes and triplexes from 1900 to 1930 in brick or greystone, wrought-iron exterior staircases, high ceilings, original hardwood floors and woodwork painted twenty times over. Kitchens are often narrow galleys, party walls poorly soundproofed and plumbing cast iron.

Permits and regulations: The Plateau-Mont-Royal borough

The Plateau applies a PIIA on most of its streets: any change to a facade, window or balcony goes through architectural review. Interior work (kitchen, bathroom, non-bearing walls) is generally not covered, but removing a load-bearing wall, an extension or converting a basement into a unit requires a borough permit. We prepare these applications regularly.

Frequent projects in the Plateau-Mont-Royal

  • Turnkey kitchen in a plex, opening the wall to the dining room
  • Restoration of original staircases and woodwork
  • Soundproofing of party walls and ceilings between units
  • Renovating a unit between tenants

Why a contractor who is also a cabinetmaker

A contractor who is also a cabinetmaker knows what to save in a Plateau plex: the mouldings, panel doors and floors you restore, and what to redo without compromise, like plumbing, electrical and insulation.
