At Montréal–Trudeau, normal daily mean temperatures are -9.2°C in January and 21.7°C in July, with typical annual snowfall about 217 cm. Snow clearing and roof-drainage maintenance recur, so inspect mortar and brick conditions alongside those needs. In 2021, 36.0% of Montréal’s occupied private dwellings were built in 1960 or earlier, making careful brick and mortar matching especially relevant for repairs.
Whether the work is in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Outremont, or Verdun, confirm the contractor’s 10-digit RBQ licence number and its good standing in the RBQ register. Use an insured masonry contractor.
