What's different about bricklaying and masonry in Montreal

January averages about -9 to -10.5°C, July about 26-27°C; annual snowfall averages roughly 210 cm and total precipitation about 1,000 mm/year, with frequent winter freeze-thaw cycles stressing roofs, foundations and driveways (Environment Canada normals).

About 36% of Montreal's dwellings were built before 1960 (17.1% pre-1945, 18.9% 1946-1960, CMHC/2021 Census); the housing stock is dominated by 2-3 storey brick "plex" duplex/triplex walk-ups with exterior staircases and flat roofs rather than detached single-family homes — roughly two-thirds of residents live in buildings under five storeys.

What moves the price in Montreal

  • 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
  • Booking season — late-summer/fall demand surge before frost

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 Montreal, permits come from the Ville de Montréal — borough permit counters (Permits and Authorizations).

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 Montreal

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.
