Whether you live in a house in Sector C, a condo near the REM or a plex in Vieux-Brossard, every home project starts the same way: getting a reliable estimate. A good quote protects you from unpleasant surprises, and comparing several gives you a realistic idea of market prices on the South Shore.
Why ask for several quotes
For the same project, prices can vary a lot from one contractor to another, depending on their workload, their materials and how they work. With three or four detailed quotes, you quickly spot the price that is too low and hides exclusions, and the price that is too high and cannot be justified.
Describe your project clearly
The more precise your request, the more comparable the quotes will be:
- the type of work and the rooms involved;
- approximate dimensions (square feet, length of fence, number of windows);
- the materials you want or your budget range;
- the timeline and constraints (access, parking, pets, working from home);
- a few photos of the current condition.
Check the contractor before signing
In Quebec, most construction and renovation contractors must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. Check the licence number in the RBQ registry, ask for proof of liability insurance and insist on a written contract that specifies the work, the price, the dates and the payment terms. Be wary of a very large deposit requested before work begins.
Compare quotes line by line
Don’t just compare the total. Look at what is included: demolition, debris removal, materials, labour, permits, final cleanup and warranty. A cheaper quote that excludes waste removal or finishing can end up costing more.
