> Holder of a permit from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ)

The Quebec Building Act requires that all contractors hold an appropriate permit issued by the Régie du bâtiment. The RBQ verifies the knowledge and skills of contractors through examinations and ensures their creditworthiness.

> Member of the Association provinciale des constructeurs d’habitation du Québec (APCHQ)

The APCHQ provides services and support to contractors, such as training and development. The APCHQ is the instigator of the Domus contest.

> Réno-Maître

Réno-Maître is the way Quebec contractors showcase their professionalism. The certification – the only one of its type in Quebec – confirms that members respect quality standards. To obtain this certification and be among the best residential renovation contractors, Rénovation Deschênes had to demonstrate its financial capacity, its skills and its focus on customer satisfaction. This banner is managed through the Association provinciale des constructeurs d’habitation du Québec (APCHQ).

> Réno-Prêt loan

Réno-Prêt is a customized financing program that allows customers of Réno-Maître contractors to quickly get the funds they need to start or complete their home improvement projects. Also, customers are charged zero interest during the first year of the loan and start reimbursing the capital only after one year. This program is offered through an agreement between the APCHQ and TD Canada Trust, one of the most important business banking groups in Canada.

> Garantie rénovation de l’APCHQ

The APCHQ “Garantie renovation” warranty plan is the most recognized by financial institutions, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Société d’habitation du Québec and consumers themselves.

> Residencia recommended

Residencia helps consumers carry out their construction or home improvement projects by putting at their disposal a complete listing of specialized contractors who work in the field of construction in Montreal and the surrounding areas.

> Coming soon: The CAA residential certification

CAA-Québec provides consultative services in the area of home improvement and construction and prepares a list of recommended contractors (in various industry segments) based on a thorough satisfaction study among customers.
