Renovation in Laval
Our Home Base, Every Sector of the Island.
Home Renovation Contractors is based at 3583 rue Ignace in Laval. That makes Laval the simplest area for us to schedule visits, follow-ups and inspections.
Much of Laval’s housing was built between the 1960s and the 1980s: bungalows, split-levels and cottages, with newer townhouses and condos in growing sectors. These homes usually have solid structures and original basements, which makes them ideal for basement finishing and open-concept main floors.
Renovation permits in Laval are issued by the city’s Service de l’urbanisme (a permis de construction-amélioration for most renovation work), and applications can be submitted online. We prepare the documents and apply for you when a permit is needed.
Popular projects here include basement renovation, complete renovations, kitchens and bathrooms.
Laval homes
What We See in Laval Homes.
Laval’s housing stock shapes the projects we do most often there.
Original basements
Many 1960s–1980s basements were never finished, or were finished decades ago; a moisture check comes first.
Closed-in main floors
Separate kitchens and dining rooms that owners want to open, often across a load-bearing wall.
Split-level layouts
Half-levels that need careful planning for stairs, flooring transitions and lighting.
Original bathrooms
Bathrooms from the 1970s and 1980s with tired tile and poor ventilation.
Aging electrical panels
Older panels may need upgrading before adding a kitchen or basement suite.
Newer condos and townhouses
Finishes to modernise, with syndicate rules to respect.
