Let’s be clear about one thing: our office is on Nuns’ Island, at 150 rue Berlioz. We have no address in Laval, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What you get here is one accountable party, from the first call to delivery.
Laval has its own Urban Planning Code, in force since November 2022. A renovation here gets planned around Laval’s rules, not Montreal’s.

The local housing stock
What makes Laval job sites different
Laval is an island between two major waterways, and nearly half of its homes date from 1980 or earlier. That raises questions we settle before opening a wall, not after.
Housing stock reaching major-renovation age
46.9% of Laval dwellings were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 census.
- We check structure, electrical and plumbing before promising a schedule
- Opening up a floor plan often means a load-bearing wall: the engineer confirms, we execute
- On a pre-1980 house, we have found asbestos: removal by a specialized firm, 3 to 4 weeks of delay
Waterfront properties
Flooding often comes with the spring freshet, roughly March 15 to May 15. The City had to step in during both 2017 and 2019.
- Signs to watch for: basement seepage, moisture that returns every spring
- Before signing, we check whether the lot is in a flood zone
- We deal with water before finishing anything. A French drain is a perforated pipe laid at the foot of the foundation to carry water away from the wall
Bungalows from the 1950s and 1960s
The City ties this house type to a major phase of Laval’s growth, with mixed materials: brick, stone, light siding.
- Examples the City cites: the Crochet and Duvernay areas
- Building up or out starts with checking what the structure can carry
- The City recommends keeping the original cladding composition, especially on the front facade

Before you choose
Before you sign, and before you call
Three things worth a close look, whichever contractor you end up choosing.
What to have ready for the call
These make the call more useful and the quote more accurate.
- The address and the year the house was built
- Phone photos of the rooms involved
- Existing drawings or the certificate of location, if you have them
- A realistic budget, and the margin you keep for the unexpected
- Past work and when it was done
- After a disaster: your claim number and insurer’s contact details
General contractor or quote website
A quote website puts you in touch with contractors. It doesn’t sign your contract and doesn’t answer for your job site.
- Kasa signs one contract and stands behind it
- Cristian or Samuel walks the site with you at the key stages: partitions, electrical and ventilation, finishes
- Those walkthroughs are when you sign off, before a wall closes up

- $5,000,000 liability insurance

Client Reviews
What Montreal homeowners say about Kasa Entrepreneur Général
Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 14 verified Google reviews.
Wonderful experience building our patio deck last fall. The job was done quickly with great attention to detail. Solid construction. And when I wanted a change to add a second staircase, no problem at all. Cristian listened and incorporated the new design I asked for. Job well done, I highly recommend Groupe KASA.
shelley craig2 years agoFrom start to finish, we had a very good experience with Groupe Kasa. They transformed my bathroom and we got lots of compliments. They understood our vision and made it reality. We are definitely recommending them.

Ivan Moran2 years agoJust before Christmas 2023, disaster struck and our basement was flooded with water.

We talk it through on the first call, free of charge, then come see it when the project warrants a visit. The detailed quote follows within 48 hours of the visit.
How it works
Our process, from the first call to delivery
A disciplined sequence that removes surprises and keeps you informed at every stage that commits your budget.
Discovery call
Thirty to forty-five minutes to scope the project and confirm that budget and expectations line up.
On-site visit
We come and see the building when the project warrants it. In older housing stock, that is where we spot what drawings never show.
Detailed quote
Line by line, presented and explained in person for major projects. Never a lump sum with no breakdown.
Drawings, permits and planning
Professionals retained, drawings finalized, permits filed, schedule confirmed before the first hammer swing.
Construction and inspections
Client walkthroughs at the critical stages: partitions, electrical, ventilation, finishes.
Delivery and warranties
Joint inspection, corrections, then warranties activated: 1 year on workmanship plus the RBQ guarantee plan.
Paperwork
Renovation permits in Laval: who does what
In Laval, permits come from the City’s Urban Planning department, not Montreal. We can assemble the file and submit it on your behalf, or guide you if you prefer to do it yourself.
Procedures and links checked on November 6, 2026.
The application
It is filed online, with a recent certificate of location prepared by a land surveyor.
- Drawings and documents depending on the work
- On a floodplain or waterfront lot, the certificate must also show the flood elevations
- An incomplete file must be completed within 30 days
Timelines published by the City
Indicative timelines, in calendar days, for a single-unit home.
- Renovation: 30 days
- Addition: 50 days
- Demolition of the main building: 30 days
- Longer if the file needs a special approval
Exterior cladding
Same material or new material: the process is not the same.
- Same material: no permit, unless a PIIA applies to the address
- New material: permit required
- The Code generally limits main facades to three materials, and two colours count as two
PIIA areas and heritage
A PIIA (site planning and architectural integration program) is added to some applications: the City reviews the project against set criteria.
- Sainte-Rose, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and Sainte-Dorothée include heritage-interest areas
- We check the address before anything gets drawn
- The City publishes no fixed timeline for a PIIA: it depends on which one applies
What drives the cost
What drives the cost of a project in Laval
A bathroom renovation starts around $25,000, and a complete residential project generally starts at $80,000. Beyond that, it depends on what we see on site. We don’t quote by the square foot or by the hour: a number thrown out without a visit protects no one.
Scope and structure
This is the first thing that moves the price.
- Full renovation: load-bearing walls involved, condition of electrical and plumbing
- Addition: area added, foundation, tie-in to the existing roof
- Kitchen and bathroom: moving plumbing, ventilation, finishes
Water and site access
Two items you only see once on site.
- Basement: seepage to fix first, ceiling height, soundproofing
- French drain: length of foundation, access to the lot, condition of the wall
- Site access: material delivery, dumpster, working space
Paperwork and financial aid
Fees to plan for, and programs to apply for before the work begins.
- Exterior renovation permit: $92 for the first $20,000 of work, then $2.50 per $1,000
- Rénoclimat: support for insulating exterior walls, with an energy assessment before the work
- Building on the heritage inventory: City program, up to $35,000

FAQ
Frequently asked questions in Laval
Yes, in every district, from Auteuil to Vimont. Our office is on Nuns’ Island. We start with the discovery call, then visit the site if the project warrants it.
It depends on the work. Normal upkeep that changes neither the foundation, the structure, the floor area nor the number of units needs none, unless a PIIA applies. For everything else, the City of Laval issues the permit, and Kasa can assemble the file and submit it on your behalf, drawings included.
First, you need to know whether it is in a flood zone, because that changes what you are allowed to do. On a floodplain or waterfront lot, the certificate of location must show the shoreline and the flood elevations. We check this before you sign.
A general contractor takes responsibility for the whole job site, coordinating professionals (architect, engineer), subcontractors (electrician, plumber), permits, the schedule and inspections. You get one point of contact and one contract.
A bathroom starts around $25,000, and a complete residential project generally starts at $80,000. An hourly rate says nothing about the final price, which depends on scope, structure, permits and finishes. The discovery call and site visit are free, and the detailed quote comes within 48 hours of the visit.
One year on workmanship, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on materials and the RBQ guarantee plan. Our liability insurance is $5,000,000.
