About Montréal-Nord
Montréal-Nord follows the south shore of the Rivière des Prairies, across the water from Laval. It was incorporated as a town in 1915, grew quickly after the Second World War, became a city in 1959, and was merged into Montreal as a borough in 2002.
About half its buildings went up in the 1960s and 1970s, with most of the remainder predating 1960. Small apartment buildings are the most common housing type, duplexes are common too, and roughly 70% of households here rent rather than own.

What that means for renovation work here
A borough where seven households in ten are renters produces a particular kind of work: turnover between tenants, scheduled against lease dates rather than preference, and priced to be worth doing repeatedly. Patch, prime, paint and flooring make up a large share of it.
The 1960s-70s stock that dominates here is the same era we work in constantly across the river in Chomedey, and it fails in the same places — supply lines, shut-off valves, and original bathroom waterproofing at or past the end of their service life.
In a small apartment building, one failure rarely stays in one unit. Water finds the units below before anyone notices, which is why we document conditions in writing for owners and insurers from the first visit.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you handle turnover work between tenants?
- Regularly. It is one of the most common reasons we are called in this borough. We work backwards from the date the next tenant moves in, and tell you upfront if that date is not realistic rather than discovering it halfway through.
- Can you work in an occupied building?
- Yes. Most of the buildings here are occupied while we work. We set up containment, protect shared corridors, and keep the noisy phases inside agreed hours.
