Average renovation costs and estimates for Montreal, Quebec.
Montréal's renovation market is a plex market: duplexes and triplexes with shared walls, common elements and a syndicate when the building is a divided co-ownership. A large, bilingual pool of RBQ-licensed contractors serves it, and the cost index sits between Québec City and Toronto.
Montréal's permits are issued by the borough, which decides what needs one; the fee is set citywide at $9.80 per $1,000 of work with a $167.40 minimum for a residential building. Processing time depends on the borough and on whether a heritage review applies.
Cold winters, hot humid summers and repeated freeze-thaw: insulation, air sealing and materials rated for it matter more than in milder cities. Snow load is a design factor for roofs, and ice dams are common on older homes without proper attic ventilation.
