Frequently asked questions
How long does a Pointe Claire kitchen remodel take?
Typical timeline: 6–10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Permit-heavy jobs in Pointe Claire add 2–3 weeks.
Do I need a permit in Montreal County?
Yes - any plumbing, gas, or electrical change triggers a Montreal County permit. Cosmetic refreshes (paint + cabinet fronts) are usually exempt.
Can I live in my house during the remodel?
Most Pointe Claire homeowners do. We'll set up a temp kitchen and seal off the work zone with plastic + air scrubbers.
What's included in the quote?
Demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, paint, cabinets, counters, backsplash, appliances install, permits, and cleanup.
Cabinets vs. refacing - which is right for me?
Refacing saves 40–60% if your boxes are solid. Full custom makes sense if you're changing the layout. Your matched pros will walk you through both.
What is an RBQ licence and does my Greater Montreal contractor need one?
The Régie du bâtiment du Québec licenses most contractors and sub-contractors in Quebec. Any project above the RBQ threshold or requiring a municipal permit in Greater Montreal must be done by an RBQ-licensed contractor. We verify the licence number before matching.
