Montreal's housing stock is unique. Whether you own a century-old plex on the Plateau-Mont-Royal, a duplex in Villeray, a single-family home in Ahuntsic-Cartierville or a downtown condo, every building has its character and its challenges: uneven floors, outdated plumbing, party walls to soundproof, borough regulations. Residential renovation in Montreal cannot be improvised.

Managing plumbers, electricians, drywallers and carpenters yourself is the first source of stress and delays. Our turnkey service gives you one point of contact: we coordinate every certified trade, build your cabinets and millwork in our Dorval workshop, and respect the historical character of your home while adding modern comfort.

Everything about turnkey home renovation

Do I need a permit to renovate my house in Montreal?

It depends on the scope. Purely cosmetic work (replacing cabinets, painting) generally needs no permit. If the project removes a load-bearing wall, changes the exterior envelope, moves plumbing or finishes a basement, a borough permit is mandatory. We prepare the applications for you.

What is included in your turnkey service?

The whole project: ideation and 3D plans, permit application, full site management (demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, paint), custom furniture built in our workshop and final installation.

Do you renovate heritage buildings and old plexes?

Yes. We have long experience with Montreal's typical century-old buildings (duplexes, triplexes, row houses): period structures, party walls, protected facades and PIIA rules. We add modern comfort without sacrificing character.

What is the return on investment of a major renovation?

In Montreal, kitchen and bathroom renovations and basement finishing are among the projects with the best resale recovery, often between 60% and 80%. A basement converted into a rental unit also generates immediate income.

How long does a major renovation take?

A bathroom takes 3 to 4 weeks on site, a kitchen 2 to 8 weeks, and a full floor reconfiguration with load-bearing walls spans several months. We set a detailed schedule before the first hammer strike and we keep it.

How does payment work?

The quote sets out a payment schedule tied to site milestones (signature, start of work, furniture delivery, completion). No payment is requested before the quote is signed.
