Reconstruction questions, answered

Yes. Tell us what has happened and what information is available. The first conversation can help clarify the reconstruction stage, while coverage and claim decisions remain with your insurer.

That depends on the condition of the property, the rooms affected and the work planned. Discuss access and occupancy arrangements for your project before deciding how the property will be used during reconstruction.

Identify the owner, building or syndicate contact and the relevant insurance contacts. Clarify access, common-area arrangements, building rules and who is responsible for authorizing the different parts of the work.

Raise the change before it is carried out. Discuss the revised scope, cost, materials and effect on the sequence with the relevant parties so the decision is clear.

Yes, you can call 514-333-2403 after a loss. Emergency cleanup and restoration inquiries can be directed to the main Metrospec Cleaning team, while Metrospec Construction discusses the reconstruction work.

Permanent repairs depend on the affected areas being ready for reconstruction. Discuss the status of cleanup, drying and any remediation with the teams involved before closing walls or installing finishes.

Coverage, limits and claim decisions belong to your insurer. Clarify the proposed repair scope, approvals and payment arrangements with the relevant parties. Optional improvements should be discussed separately from insured repairs.

A fire may affect several connected components and require smoke or soot cleanup and other preparation before permanent repairs. The reconstruction scope should reflect the assessed condition and work already completed, rather than assuming every component needs replacement.

There is no single timetable for every property. Scope, preparation, access, decisions, trades and material availability affect the sequence. Discuss a project-specific schedule and any changes as the work develops.

Call 514-333-2403 or email service@metrospec.com with the property address or postal code and a short description of the damage and work needed.

Yes. Metrospec Construction discusses post-loss reconstruction for homes and commercial interiors in Greater Montréal. The scope and arrangements depend on the property.

No. Start dates depend on project readiness, the agreed scope, material availability, access and scheduling. Confirm timing for your specific project.

Yes. Our RBQ licence covers Québec. Share the municipality, property type and scope so we can discuss availability and project arrangements. A licence does not guarantee an immediate start or a fixed arrival time.

A partial scope may be possible depending on the affected components and how they connect. Discuss retained cabinets, countertops, flooring and finishes before deciding the replacement boundaries.

That depends on their condition and the work beneath or around them. Removal, support, dimensions and compatibility with replacement cabinetry need to be considered before assuming reuse.

Improvements can be discussed separately. Different materials or a changed layout may affect cost, availability and the sequence; those choices should be agreed before ordering or work begins.

Not necessarily. The reconstruction scope depends on the affected components, their condition and how they connect. Discuss retained fixtures, flooring and cabinetry before selecting replacements.

A different layout can be discussed, but it may change connections, material quantities, cost and timing. Keep optional improvements distinct from the repairs associated with the loss.

That depends on the condition of the retained fixture and the repairs around it. The scope should clarify access, adjoining surfaces and the details where new work meets existing components.
