20+ years as a general contractor — now working exclusively for you. Independent guidance, honest costs, every grant you qualify for, and an advocate in your corner at every step.
Your goals are our goals.
Most homeowners enter the renovation process alone — relying on contractors for advice that should be coming from someone in their corner. From the bid process and negotiations to avoiding unexpected issues on-site, having a dedicated advisor representing only your interests can save you significant time, money, and stress.
After 20+ years building in Montreal, I know exactly how contractors think, what they charge, and where homeowners get taken advantage of. I switched sides. Reno-Guide represents you — assessing your property, producing honest cost estimates, navigating grants, and making sure the right contractors compete for your work on a level playing field.
I'm not tied to any architects, contractors, or lenders. I don't build anything. I don't sell anything. I advise — clearly, honestly, and always in your best interest.
To optimize the renovation process for Montreal homeowners — protecting their interests, advancing their goals, and ensuring they never pay more than necessary for a high-quality result.
Reno-Guide works at the intersection of homeowners, architects, lenders, and contractors — bringing clarity and objectivity to every relationship.
Building or renovating is a massive investment — one that requires experience and time most homeowners don't have. Reno-Guide ensures your interests come first at every stage, from scoping and bidding to contractor oversight and grant applications.
Architects appreciate the clarity and objectivity Reno-Guide brings. We ensure everyone is aligned, manage issue resolution, and coordinate contractor selection to complement the architectural vision — keeping projects on track and within budget.
Lenders benefit from accurate cost forecasting relative to market conditions, reducing underwriting risk. By managing competitive bids from qualified contractors, Reno-Guide helps all parties make more informed decisions and maximize value.
Contractors know they're bidding on a level playing field when Reno-Guide is involved. They gain a knowledgeable third party for issue resolution, clearer communication, and homeowners who arrive better informed — creating more efficient, collegial projects.
