What Clients Say About MTL Contractors
"We are so happy with our beautiful, high-quality renovations! The MTL Contractors team was so responsive, professional, and organized throughout the project. And to top it off, they were super nice people to work with!"
-Julia
"We had the team renovate our main bathroom and it came out beautifully! Very professional and listened to all of our concerns and ideas for the final look. Very much recommend this company!"
-Michelle
"MTL Contractors undertook a reno project of the main floor of our home - primarily kitchen reno - which included the removal of a supporting wall and subsequent installation of a support beam. We really appreciated how the team worked WITH us to manage within our budget and to our expectations and needs. They thought of details we did not and discussed the "unexpected hiccups" with us to find solutions. As is normal with just about any reno project, there were some delays and a bit of "scope creep / cost overrun" but they always made sure we understood why. We are thrilled with the end results and can truly say they helped make our dream come true. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!"

Frequently Asked Questions About Montreal Contracting
Have questions about the building process? Learn more about our general contracting services, RBQ compliance, and how we manage projects across the Greater Montreal Area.
What should I consider when choosing a general contractor in Montreal?
Look for experience, specialization, and reputation. Verify licensing and insurance, review references and completed projects, and ensure clear communication about timelines, budgets, and expectations before work begins.
Are there specific construction building codes I need to be aware of in Montreal?
Yes. Montreal follows local and provincial building codes covering safety, zoning, and environmental standards. Working with a licensed contractor familiar with these regulations ensures compliance and helps avoid costly setbacks.
What are the risks of hiring an unlicensed contractor in Montreal?
In Quebec, it is legally required for all contractors to hold a valid RBQ (Régie du bâtiment du Québec) license. Hiring a fully licensed general contractor ensures your project meets strict provincial building codes, carries proper liability insurance, and gives you access to a reliable, professional network of trades. Working with an unlicensed operator is illegal and exposes you to massive financial liability, including voiding your property insurance if something goes wrong. Licensed contractors meet regulatory standards, carry insurance, and provide legal protections not available with unlicensed operators. They also have established supplier and subcontractor networks, improving quality and reliability.
Do you handle Montreal city construction permits and zoning approvals?
Yes. Navigating the permit process across different Montreal boroughs can be incredibly complex. As your dedicated general contractor, we manage all the required municipal paperwork, architectural approvals, and zoning clearances before breaking ground, ensuring your project is 100% compliant from day one.
How does your general contracting team manage subcontractors?
We only partner with fully vetted, insured, and RBQ-certified electricians, plumbers, roofers, and specialized trades. We oversee their daily schedules, enforce strict safety standards on-site, and conduct quality control inspections so every detail aligns perfectly with the master blueprints. Simultaneously, our certified plumbers and electricians execute the "rough-ins" for all new electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC ductwork before the walls are sealed. This stage includes insulation and vapor barrier installation, which is crucial for meeting energy efficiency standards in Quebec's climate. Municipal inspections are scheduled and passed during this phase to verify all structural, electrical, and plumbing work meets the National Building Code and local borough standards.
How does MTL Contractors ensure workplace safety on the job site?
Site safety is completely non-negotiable. As a responsible Montreal general contractor, we strictly adhere to all CNESST (Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail) regulations. From securing heavy equipment to enforcing daily safety briefings for all subcontractors, we actively protect our workers, your property, and your overall liability throughout the entire build.
What is the official RBQ license number for MTL Contractors?
Our official Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) license number is 5767-5480-01. As a premier general contractor in Montreal, we proudly display our active license to guarantee absolute financial transparency and legal compliance for our clients. Holding this certification proves that our construction company has passed rigorous provincial exams covering structural safety, administrative management, and project execution. We highly recommend verifying this number through the official provincial registry before hiring any Montreal contractor for your residential or commercial build.
