Renovating a kitchen or bathroom is an exciting but complex project. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the key stages of renovation, while respecting Quebec standards.
Start by defining your priorities: do you want to enlarge the space, modernize appliances, or improve energy efficiency? Then, establish a realistic budget based on the materials required and the scope of the work. Tip: always leave a 10-15% margin for unforeseen circumstances.
Opting for materials made in Quebec is not only an ecological choice, it’s also an economical one. You can find cabinets, countertops and tiles made locally. They’re often adapted to Quebec climatic conditions, while supporting the local economy.
Consider using contractors licensed by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). This guarantees that the work will be carried out according to Quebec safety and quality standards. Check references and ask for several quotes before choosing a contractor.
Depending on the scope of the renovations, you may need a city permit for electrical, plumbing or structural work. Check with your municipality for specific requirements.
The RénoVert program or grants from Transition énergétique Québec offer financial assistance to improve the energy efficiency of your kitchen or bathroom, such as installing energy-efficient windows or water-saving plumbing systems.
Discuss a precise schedule with your contractors and make sure that each stage is well defined, from demolition to final installation. Good communication is key to avoiding delays and budget overruns.
