About Montréal's Renovation Market
Montréal's renovation market is characterized by a large proportion of older housing stock — much of the island's residential building inventory dates to the 1950s–1980s — creating consistent structural renovation demand. Bathroom and kitchen permits are the highest-volume categories. The city's dense urban fabric generates significant addition and conversion permit activity.
