Serving Every Corner of Verdun, One Project at a Time
Verdun has been a borough of Montréal since 2002, and it is really three places in one. Wellington–De l’Église holds the dense grid of brick duplexes and triplexes that went up during the borough’s building boom of the 1910s and 1920s, wrapped around a Wellington Street that has become one of the city’s liveliest commercial strips. Desmarchais-Crawford runs west toward LaSalle, where post-1945 Crawford Park traded the tight grid for a more suburban feel. And Île-des-Sœurs is another world entirely — modern condominium towers and offices that have kept rising since the Champlain Bridge opened the island in the early 1960s, now served by its own REM station. Three metro stations — LaSalle, De l’Église, and Verdun — have anchored the mainland since 1978. We plan demolition differently in each of them.
Phase 1: Demolition Built for Verdun’s Housing Stock
Most of our Verdun calls start inside a plex. A 1920s duplex or triplex here usually means plaster-on-wood-lath over brick, layered flooring from a century of renovations, and neighbours on the other side of the wall who would like to stay friends with you. Our crews strip kitchens, bathrooms, and full storeys down to structure with the dust contained, the debris chuted to containers placed for narrow Verdun lanes, and the party wall treated with the respect it deserves. On Île-des-Sœurs the job changes: condo interior strip-outs with elevator protection, quiet hours, and syndicate rules built into the schedule.
Phase 2: Renovations for Every Era of Verdun Home
Demolition is usually the first week of a bigger plan. The same company that opened up your plex can close it back up: kitchens and bathrooms rebuilt in centennial duplexes, basements in Crawford Park bungalows converted into real living space, and layouts reworked to bring light into the long, narrow floor plans this borough is famous for. Because the crew that demolished the space documented what is behind the walls, the rebuild starts with no surprises — part of our home renovation services across greater Montréal.
Phase 3: Outdoor Spaces Worthy of the Riverfront
Verdun lives outside — the waterfront parks along Boulevard LaSalle see more bikes, strollers, and cross-country skis than most streets in the city. We take down tired sheds, rotten decks, and cracked concrete pads, then rebuild backyards that hold up to riverside winters: drainage-minded grading, hardscaping that survives freeze-thaw, and fences that respect the sightlines your neighbours actually notice in a borough this dense.

Verdun Permits & Regulations
Demolition permits in Verdun run through the borough, and Montréal’s rules are set borough by borough — what needs a full demolition authorization, what counts as a renovation, and what a small accessory structure can skip. Before any structural or exterior work, check the City of Montréal’s official page on how to get a demolition permit, or let us handle the paperwork — we file and manage permits for our clients as part of the job. Heritage and waterfront-adjacent properties can carry extra review, so build the approval time into your schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a partial demolition in Verdun require a permit?
Often, yes. Removing a load-bearing wall, an extension, or any exterior structure usually triggers a borough permit, while light interior finish removal may not. The safe move is to confirm with the borough before the first hammer swing — we do this verification for every project we quote.
Can you demolish inside an occupied duplex without disturbing the tenant next door?
That is the standard Verdun job. We isolate the work zone, contain dust at the source, schedule the loudest phases in agreed windows, and keep the shared wall protected. Your neighbour hears less than you would expect, and the common spaces stay clean every single day.
My plex was built before 1990 — should I worry about asbestos?
Treat it as possible until tested. Buildings from before 1990 commonly hide asbestos in plaster, flooring, and insulation, and CNESST rules require it to be identified before dust-producing work. Our certified crews work with MSA Advantage 3200 full-face respirators with P100 Flexi-Filters and HEPA-filtered (99.97%) equipment, and we manage testing and safe removal as part of the demolition scope.
Do you handle demolition, renovation, and landscaping together in Verdun?
Yes — that is the point of working with us: one company for the demo, the rebuild, and the outdoor work, instead of coordinating three separate contractors yourself. One estimate, one point of contact.
