What's different about wall painting in Montreal

Montreal's housing stock skews old and dense: roughly 36 percent of dwellings were built before 1960, and most homes are two- to three-storey brick "plex" duplexes and triplexes with exterior staircases and flat roofs rather than detached houses, with about two-thirds of residents living in buildings under five storeys. That shapes how a paint job actually gets done here: narrow shared stairwells mean more masking and careful scheduling around neighbors, and original plaster in older units often needs patching before a coat goes on. Winter's freeze-thaw cycles, with January averaging -9 to -10.5 degrees C and July 26-27 degrees C, also put ongoing stress on interior walls near exterior-facing surfaces.

Neighborhoods like Plateau-Mont-Royal, Mile End, and Griffintown mix pre-war plexes with newer condo conversions, so the right prep and paint approach can vary block to block; Verdun and Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie skew toward older triplex stock, while Griffintown leans newer construction. Interior wall painting itself doesn't trigger a municipal building permit, but Quebec requires any general contractor to hold a Regie du batiment du Quebec (RBQ) licence, so confirm your pro's RBQ number before signing anything. Spring through early summer and again before the fall holidays are the busiest booking windows; winter, December through February, tends to bring better pro availability and scheduling flexibility.

What moves the price in Montreal

Plex-style walk-ups with narrow exterior staircases add time for hauling gear and masking shared entries.
Pre-1960 units (about 36% of the stock) often need plaster patching before painting can start.
Quebec requires a general contractor to hold a valid RBQ licence — verify it before signing.
Winter freeze-thaw cycles stress interior walls near exterior surfaces, favoring off-peak scheduling in Dec-Feb.

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

Interior painting can be booked year-round, but spring/early summer and pre-holiday fall are peak demand; winter (Dec-Feb) tends to have better pro availability and pricing. Peak demand: March, April, May, June, September and October. Typical job length: 1-3 days for a room, 3-7 days for a whole home.

DIY or pro? DIY is reasonable for a single room in good condition (walls only, no major prep) at $100-300 in materials; hire a pro for whole-home jobs, high/vaulted ceilings, extensive prep or repairs, or trim and ceiling work.
