The trade in this neighbourhood
In Saint-Léonard, the work of a renovation contractor is deeply shaped by the local housing structure. With a median construction year of the housing stock of 1972, professionals work on fifty-year-old buildings that require constant attention to preserve their integrity. Projects do not mostly target detached homes, as the share of single-family homes represents only 9.6% of the residential landscape. Renovations are concentrated on multi-unit buildings, requiring careful planning to minimize disruption to the occupants.
This reality is accompanied by a specific occupancy dynamic. With the share of renter households reaching 65%, contractors frequently collaborate with the 35% share of owner households looking to maintain or upgrade their rental properties. Upgrades and repairs must be managed alongside the daily lives of tenants. To execute these projects, contractors must hold a license from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ), ensuring compliance in a sector where the share of dwellings needing major repairs is limited to 5.8%.
