Serving All of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, One Project at a Time
Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is an independent city at the western tip of the island — not a Montréal borough — and its housing reflects a long, layered history: an 18th-century village core, one of Canada’s earliest garden-city developments, and newer construction pushing north of the highway. We adjust our approach to match what’s actually behind the walls.
- The Village & the boardwalk: Two- and three-storey heritage walk-ups above ground-floor retail line Rue Sainte-Anne along the Lac Saint-Louis boardwalk — older lath-and-plaster construction that needs careful, dust-contained interior demolition.
- Gardenvale: One of Canada’s earliest garden-city neighbourhoods, developed around 1918 — detached homes on generous lots, many with original framing that needs a proper load-bearing assessment before any wall comes down.
- Macdonald Campus & John Abbott College area: Rental duplexes and older single-family homes near the shared McGill/John Abbott grounds, often needing turnover renovations between tenants.
- North of Highway 40: Condo and semi-detached development from the past decade and a half — interior fit-outs and selective demolition rather than full guts.
Phase 1: Demolition That Respects Your Property
Sainte-Anne’s older housing stock — the Village walk-ups, the Gardenvale-era cottages — was built before open-concept floor plans were the norm. Our crews assess load-bearing walls before touching anything, contain dust in occupied duplexes, and keep noise controlled on the tight village-core lots.
- Interior Demolition: Wall, flooring, and cabinetry removal, including load-bearing assessments in pre-war and Gardenvale-era homes.
- Structure Removal: Garage, shed, and dock-adjacent structure demolition.
- Concrete Removal: Driveway, walkway, and basement-slab tear-outs.
We handle proper disposal of all materials — wood, concrete, metal — at authorized recycling facilities, all part of our full demolition services.
Phase 2: Home Renovations That Match Your Life
Renovation demand in Sainte-Anne runs in two directions: modernizing tight, older village-core units, and finishing out newer condos and semi-detached homes north of the highway. Both start with the same disciplined demo phase.
- Kitchen Remodels: Opening up the closed, compartmentalized kitchens common in older Village and Gardenvale homes.
- Bathroom Makeovers: Updated fixtures and layouts in homes built long before modern plumbing codes.
- Basement Finishing: Home offices, rental units, or extra space for growing or multi-generational families.

Phase 3: Outdoor Spaces Built for the Lakeshore
Sainte-Anne sits directly on Lac Saint-Louis, and that proximity to the water shapes outdoor work here more than in almost any other city we serve. Grading and drainage that actually protects a foundation near the shoreline isn’t optional.
- Grading & Drainage: Directing water away from foundations close to the shoreline and boardwalk.
- Hardscaping: Paver patios, stone paths, and retaining work suited to lakeside lots.
- Privacy: Cedar fencing and green screens for the close-set lots in the Village core.

Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Permits & Regulations
Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is a reconstituted independent city, not a Montréal borough — demolition and renovation permits here go through the City’s own urbanisme department, not through montreal.ca. Most interior demolition that touches structure, and any exterior demolition, needs a permit application filed directly with the city before work starts. We’re RBQ-licensed and handle the paperwork as part of the job so you’re not navigating a separate municipal process on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to demolish part of my home in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue?
In most cases, yes. Because Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue is its own independent city rather than a Montréal borough, the permit application goes to the city’s urbanisme department directly, not through montreal.ca. Interior demolition affecting structure and any exterior demolition typically require a permit. We handle the application as part of the job so you’re not navigating city hall alone.
My property is close to the boardwalk or Lac Saint-Louis — does that change how you approach the work?
Yes. Lots near the water and the Village core tend to be tighter, and drainage decisions matter more — a grading mistake near the shoreline can mean water at the foundation within a season. We plan demolition, disposal access, and any outdoor grading with that proximity to the lake in mind.
My home was built before 1990 — should I worry about asbestos?
Possibly — many of Sainte-Anne’s older Village and Gardenvale-era homes were built when asbestos was common in insulation, flooring, and drywall compound. DemoPrep is certified and trained for all levels of asbestos removal, from minor non-friable work to high-risk friable abatement. We test before any demolition, and when removal is needed our crews work inside HEPA-filtered (99.97%) containment using MSA Advantage 3200 full-face respirators with P100 Flexi-Filters, following CNESST requirements. It’s not something to disturb without knowing.
Do you handle demolition, renovation, and landscaping together?
Yes. That’s the point of working with us — one company for the demo, the rebuild, and the outdoor work, instead of coordinating three separate contractors yourself.
