Before any renovation can begin, something usually has to come down first. Whether it's a load-bearing wall that's blocking your open-concept dreams, a water-damaged basement that needs gutting, or an entire structure that's past saving, proper demolition sets the stage for everything that follows.
At Groupe Project Reno, we've handled demolition projects throughout Terrebonne and the Lanaudière region for over 25 years. From selective interior teardowns in Lachenaie bungalows to complete structural removals in the older neighbourhoods near Vieux-Terrebonne, we understand that demolition isn't just about swinging hammers—it's about controlled, methodical work that protects what needs protecting and prepares the site for what comes next.
Why Proper Demolition Matters in Terrebonne
Demolition in Quebec isn't as simple as it might look on television. Municipal permits, utility disconnections, asbestos testing in pre-1990 construction, and proper disposal of materials all require coordination and expertise. Cut corners here, and you'll face delays, fines, or worse—damage to structural elements you intended to keep.
Terrebonne's housing mix presents specific challenges. Many homes built in the 1970s and 1980s contain materials that require special handling. Older properties near the Mille-Îles river may have foundation issues that only become apparent during teardown. Newer developments sometimes reveal construction shortcuts that weren't visible before walls came down. Our crews have encountered all of it, and we know how to adapt when surprises emerge.
For properties dealing with water damage—whether from spring flooding, burst pipes, or sewage backup—demolition often becomes the first step in flood restoration and repair. Removing saturated drywall, damaged flooring, and compromised insulation quickly prevents mold growth and allows proper drying of structural elements.
Residential and Commercial Demolition Services
Our demolition work spans the full range of project types. For homeowners, we handle interior demolition for renovations—removing kitchens, bathrooms, basements, or entire floors while protecting the structural integrity of what remains. We also manage garage teardowns, deck removals, and outbuilding demolition when properties need clearing.
Commercial clients in Terrebonne's growing business districts rely on us for tenant improvements, retail space gutting, and office reconfiguration projects. Demolition in occupied buildings requires extra care—containing dust, managing noise during business hours, and coordinating with building management. Our commercial crews understand these requirements and work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Selective demolition is often the trickiest work. Taking out specific walls while preserving others, removing old flooring without damaging subfloors, or extracting outdated electrical and plumbing without affecting adjacent systems—this precision work requires experienced tradespeople who understand building systems, not just labourers with sledgehammers.
The Demolition Process from Start to Finish
Every project begins with a thorough site assessment. We evaluate structural elements, identify potential hazards, check for asbestos or other regulated materials in older buildings, and develop a work plan that addresses the specific conditions of your property.
Permits come next. Terrebonne's building department requires permits for most demolition work beyond minor interior changes. We handle the paperwork, ensuring your project meets municipal requirements before any work begins.
Before demolition day, utilities must be properly disconnected. Electrical panels get de-energized by licensed electricians, gas lines are capped, and water supplies are shut off and drained. Skipping these steps isn't just dangerous—it's illegal.
The actual demolition proceeds methodically. We protect areas that aren't being touched, contain dust and debris, and work systematically to avoid damaging structural elements that will remain. Throughout the process, we sort materials for proper disposal—recyclables go to appropriate facilities, hazardous materials get handled according to provincial regulations, and clean fill goes to licensed sites.
Once teardown is complete, we clean the site thoroughly and prepare it for the next phase, whether that's house remodeling, new construction, or simply a cleared lot.
Seasonal Considerations for Demolition Work
Terrebonne's climate affects demolition scheduling in several ways. Winter work is possible but requires additional considerations—frozen ground complicates foundation removal, snow management becomes part of the job, and shorter daylight hours can extend project timelines. Spring often brings permit backlogs as the construction season ramps up.
Interior demolition proceeds year-round without weather concerns, making it ideal for winter scheduling when contractor availability is often better. If you're planning a major renovation that includes demolition followed by construction, starting the teardown phase in late winter positions you well for spring building season.
Why Work with a Full-Service Contractor
Many homeowners consider hiring separate contractors for demolition and subsequent renovation work. While this can sometimes make sense, there are real advantages to working with a single company that handles both phases.
When we demolish with your renovation plans in mind, we preserve what needs preserving. We know where new walls will go, which plumbing runs to protect, and how to prepare the space for efficient reconstruction. This continuity prevents the costly surprises that often emerge when a new contractor inherits someone else's demolition work.
Our team handles kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, basement finishing, and complete home renovations throughout Terrebonne. Many clients who start with demolition continue with us through the entire project.
