Permits in Pointe-Claire
Pointe-Claire is an independent city with its own permit rules, and it is stricter than many homeowners expect:
- Permit and certificate applications are sent by email, as PDFs, to the city’s urban planning department (urbanisme@pointe-claire.ca).
- Replacing or repairing private sewer and water services needs a certificate of authorization.
- Installing a French drain needs a building permit.
- Once a building permit is approved, the work must start within six months and be finished within one year of issue.
We prepare these applications, including the contractor’s detailed estimate the city asks for, and plan the schedule around the deadlines.
Basements and drainage
Many Pointe-Claire basement projects start with a water problem. If you need a new French drain or a sewer repair, it pays to do that work and the basement finishing as one project, so the drainage is fixed before new walls and floors go in.
Basement renovation in Pointe-Claire
Many Pointe-Claire basements sit close to the water table near Lake Saint-Louis, so we start every basement remodel by checking for moisture and drainage. Once the space is dry, we finish it the way you’ll use it: a family room, home office, guest bedroom, gym or a basement apartment.
- Moisture check, French drain and waterproofing when needed (with the city permit)
- Insulation, framing, drywall, flooring suited to basements, lighting and a bathroom if you want one
- Basement lowering and new egress windows for bedrooms

Kitchen renovation in Pointe-Claire
From a cabinet and countertop update to a full kitchen remodel with a new layout, we design, build and install everything, including custom cabinets, plumbing, electrical, flooring and backsplash. If walls are coming down, we handle the structural work and permits.

Bathroom renovation in Pointe-Claire
We remodel complete bathrooms in Pointe-Claire: removing the old fixtures, updating plumbing and electrical, waterproofing the shower, then tiling, vanity, toilet, lighting and ventilation. We also convert bathtubs to walk-in showers, add a second bathroom or powder room, and redo tub surrounds when a full remodel isn’t needed.
- One contractor for demolition, plumbing, electrical, tiling and finishing
- Waterproofing behind tile and a properly vented fan, so the room stays dry
- A written estimate and schedule before work begins
