Winters average around -14°C (Jan. low) with extended freeze-thaw cycles; summers reach a 25.5°C average July high; annual precipitation is about 1,066 mm, with roughly 175 cm of snowfall per year (Nov–Apr snow season) driving heavy demand for roofing, eavestrough, and driveway/foundation frost work.
36.5% of occupied dwellings are single-detached houses, 57.8% are attached (row/semi-detached), and 5.5% are apartments, with 60.2% owner-occupied; the oldest stock is in the Hull/Vieux-Hull sector (heritage homes from the late 1800s–early 1900s), while Aylmer, Gatineau, and Le Plateau sectors carry mostly mid-to-late-20th-century and newer construction.

- Labor (skilled mortar removal/matching, ~90% of the bill)
- Height/access — scaffolding needed above 8 ft
- Extent of damage — spot repair vs. full-house restoration
- Mortar type match on pre-1930s (lime mortar) homes

Licensing and permits in Quebec
Licence required. Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) — General Contractor licence (Schedule I subcategories, e.g. 4043 for residential maintenance/renovation). Verify the contractor's RBQ licence number and that it covers residential renovation/maintenance work before signing a contract.
Residential building permits in Quebec are issued by the local municipality (ville/municipalité), not a provincial agency; each municipality sets its own bylaw thresholds. In Gatineau, permits come from the Service de l'urbanisme et du développement durable (Ville de Gatineau).
Tax: Labor on home repair/renovation services is a taxable supply in Quebec (no labor exemption) — GST/QST apply to the full invoice including labor, though a partial QST/GST rebate exists separately for new-housing construction or major renovations meeting specific value thresholds.
Best time to book in Gatineau
Book by late summer (July–September) — mortar needs several frost-free weeks to cure, so mason calendars fill fast through October and prices/lead times rise; work often pauses entirely once temperatures drop near freezing. Peak demand: July, August, September and October. Typical job length: A few hours for a single-brick or small spot repair; 1–3 days for a chimney; up to 1–2 weeks for full-house repointing.
DIY or pro? Repointing a few low, easily reached joints (e.g. a garden wall) is realistic DIY with an angle grinder and mortar mix; chimneys, height above 8 ft, structural cracks, or heritage lime-mortar homes need a licensed mason.
