The trade in this neighbourhood
In Outremont, renovation contractors work at the heart of the city's residential history. With a median construction year of 1927 for the housing stock, jobsites require specialized expertise in older structures. Professionals must deal with period construction techniques to preserve the integrity of these nearly century-old buildings. To work on these delicate structures, holding a license from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) is essential to ensure the compliance and safety of the original elements.
The daily routine of these contractors is also shaped by the layout of the dwellings and the profile of the residents. Single-family homes represent only 21.3% of the housing stock, meaning that most interventions take place in plexes or co-ownerships. Additionally, 8.5% of dwellings in the area require major repairs. Contractors must plan their work while considering family life, especially for the 41.2% of households with children who wish to minimize noise and dust during renovations.
