Start a projectThe Maison Craft Difference
What you know before you sign
Most renovation disputes start with an early blur: what was included, what wasn’t, and what changed along the way. Our method addresses that blur directly.
Written scope
Every proposal spells out exactly what work is included, room by room and line by line.
Documented assumptions
What we assume about existing conditions (structure, plumbing, electrical) is written down, not implied.
Options, not just one choice
Where more than one approach is possible, each is presented with its cost and timeline differences.
Documented changes
A hidden condition is explained as soon as it’s discovered, with a clear choice presented before any work proceeds.
How it works
A four-step process
- 1
Free pre-qualification
A first conversation, at no cost, to understand your project and confirm it fits our offer and our service area.
- 2
Free first visit
An on-site visit, also at no cost, to assess the space and discuss your goals and the scope you have in mind.
- 3
Detailed project definition
Precise measurements and technical documentation of the project, starting at $149 CAD (taxes extra) — credited to your project if you sign within 45 days.
- 4
Contractual proposal
A written proposal detailing scope, assumptions, materials and price, ready to sign.
Budget control
What protects your budget
A renovation budget rarely slips because of one isolated surprise — it slips when decisions aren’t documented in time.
Scope fixed before work begins
The proposal details the items included, reducing diverging interpretations once the site work starts.
Explicit assumptions
Assumptions about existing conditions are written down, along with the flexibility built in if they prove inaccurate.
Changes submitted for approval
Any change to scope or price is presented to you before it’s carried out — never after the fact.
Hidden conditions explained quickly
An unexpected discovery (structure, moisture, wiring) is communicated as soon as it’s identified, along with the available options.
Additional capability
Special Projects
Complete renovations, custom interior projects and multi-room transformations depend on existing conditions, applicable permits and the specialized professionals required. Responsibilities are documented before signing.
These projects aren’t priced instantly — they start with a conversation about feasibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered directly
How is the price of a renovation determined?
Price is based on the scope we define together, the materials chosen, and the documented assumptions about existing conditions. A range is presented in the written proposal, along with what could move it.
What happens if something unexpected is discovered during construction?
The condition found (structural, plumbing, moisture, etc.) is documented and explained as soon as it’s identified. Options and their impact on price or timeline are presented to you before any work proceeds.
Do you work with condominiums and co-ownership syndicates?
Yes. These projects usually involve additional steps with the syndicate (bylaws, insurance, work-hour restrictions), which are clarified during the proposal stage.
Do I need a permit for my project?
That depends on the municipality, borough, building type and scope of work. A permit or authorization may be required for projects affecting structure, plumbing, electrical or the building envelope; requirements must be verified with the applicable authority before work begins.
How long does a full renovation take?
Duration depends on the agreed scope and the availability of materials and trades; it’s estimated in the proposal and confirmed at scheduling.
