Common Questions

Yes, if the work involves structural changes, moving walls, or changing the floor area. Purely aesthetic work like replacing cabinets or counters usually does not require one. Permits in Montreal cost $9.80 per $1,000 of work value, with a minimum fee of $167.40.

Homes built before 1990 often require asbestos testing for plaster and insulation, which can add $1,500+ to the budget. Outdated knob-and-tube wiring in neighborhoods like the Plateau can increase electrical costs by $2,000 to $5,000.

Contractors in Montreal recommend a 10% to 20% buffer. For an average $42,500 project, this means setting aside $4,250 to $8,500 for unforeseen plumbing or structural issues found behind walls.

Prices vary significantly by material, ranging from $6/sq ft for laminate to over $400/sq ft for high-end stone. A typical mid-range quartz installation for a standard Montreal kitchen averages between $3,500 and $7,500.
