Montreal's commercial flooring market includes a large share of adaptive reuse — converted industrial buildings in Griffintown, the Mile End and Saint-Henri turned into offices and retail. Those buildings bring old concrete slabs with unpredictable moisture, uneven surfaces needing substantial grinding, and heritage constraints on what can be altered. Slab testing to ASTM F2170 is essential before any adhered product. RBQ licensing applies to all commercial contractors in Quebec, which is a meaningful verification step that does not exist in most provinces.

Commercial flooring questions from Montreal
01Does my Montreal commercial contractor need an RBQ licence?
Yes. Quebec requires a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence for commercial construction work. Verify the number on the RBQ register before signing.
02What is the main risk in a converted industrial space?
The slab. Century-old concrete in converted buildings often tests high for moisture and is rarely flat. Budget for testing and for grinding or levelling before selecting an adhered product.
03How much does commercial flooring cost in Montreal?
Commercial flooring runs about $10.45–20.9 per square foot installed in Montreal, with labour alone at $6.17–12.35. A 1,000 square foot area therefore lands roughly between $10,450 and $20,900 before tax. Quebec quotes add 5% GST and 9.975% QST on materials and labour. Removal of the old floor, subfloor preparation, stairs and baseboards are quoted separately.
