Frequently Asked Questions
My floor slopes. Is that serious?▾
In an older building, a slight slope is common. A slope that increases, a bouncy floor or new cracks above call for prompt diagnosis.
Can I remove a wall to open up the kitchen?▾
Only after determining whether it is load-bearing. If it is, you need a sized beam, adequate supports, often an engineer's plan and a borough permit.
Do I need an engineer?▾
For any change to a structural element, it is strongly advised and often required by the city. The plan protects your building and frames the contractor's work.
How long does this work take?▾
It depends on scope and permits. Ask for a written schedule that accounts for permit processing time.
How do I verify a contractor is licensed?▾
Ask for the RBQ licence number and search the Régie du bâtiment du Québec public registry.
Carpenter & Framing in Montréal: what to know
In plexes and older homes, the framing is over a century old in places. A carpenter works on what carries the house: joists, beams, columns, load-bearing walls, roof structure.
Sloping floors
A floor that tilts often comes from a weakened joist, a tired beam or a column that has settled. Correcting it requires a diagnosis: re-levelling the floor without treating the cause only hides the problem.
Load-bearing walls
Opening a wall to enlarge a kitchen is common, but a load-bearing wall needs a properly sized beam and supports carried down to the foundation. An engineer-stamped plan is often required, and the borough issues the permit.
Extensions
Adding a storey or an annex in a dense area involves access, party-wall and zoning constraints. An experienced carpenter anticipates them rather than discovering them.
Licence
The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
