  • attic access for running new wiring

Licensing and permits in Quebec

Licence required. Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) subcategory 16, administered by the Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec (CMEQ). Ask for the CMEQ membership/RBQ licence number and confirm it's active on the RBQ register or CMEQ directory.

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 Quebec City, permits come from the Ville de Québec — Service de la gestion du territoire (permis résidentiels).

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 Quebec City

Book in late summer, before fall renovation season fills electricians' calendars and small lighting jobs get bumped for bigger projects. Peak demand: September, October and November. Typical job length: 1-2 hours per fixture on existing wiring; half a day or more when new wiring or a circuit run is needed.

DIY or pro? A like-for-like fixture swap on existing wiring (power off, same box) is reasonable for a confident DIYer; new circuits, heavy chandeliers, or anything needing a permit call for a licensed electrician.
