What to know about Apartment renovations
Renovating an apartment you rent out, or a unit in a duplex, triplex or larger plex, is a renovation with a third party involved: the tenant. The carpentry, plumbing and finishes are the same as in any home, but the schedule, the notices you give and whether anyone has to move out are governed by provincial tenancy law, and getting them wrong can halt the work or cost more than the renovation itself.

- Look for a contractor who has finished projects similar in size and type to yours, and ask to see them.
- Get a written contract with the scope, the payment schedule, the timeline and how changes will be priced.
- Ask who will manage the job day to day and how often you'll get updates.
- Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and that their trades are licensed where required.
- Compare quotes on the same scope, and ask what each one leaves out.
- For structural changes, make sure an engineer or designer is involved where needed.
Questions to ask renovation contractors before you hire
- Who will pull the permits, and who will be there for inspections?

- How do you handle change orders and unexpected problems once walls are open?
- What is the payment schedule, and what is each payment tied to?

Apartment renovation permits in Quebec
Some apartment renovation work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Quebec
General contracting and renovation
Anyone who does residential renovation work for you must hold an RBQ licence, and that licence must include the subclasses required for the work you are hiring them for.

Certified trades
Workers in the construction industry covered by Act R-20 need a CCQ competency certificate. The Act excludes maintenance, repair, renovation and alteration work done for an individual, on their own account and for strictly personal, non-profit purposes, on a dwelling they live in. The contractor still needs an RBQ licence.

New-home building and warranty
Contractors who build or sell new residential buildings must be accredited by the administrator of the mandatory Guarantee Plan for New Residential Buildings.
