  3. Where are you in, The Building Process?

When we speak with homeowners about renovating their homes (and trust us, we talk to many!), we find that most people fall into one of three stages:

If you’re in any of these stages — great news — you’re in the right place!

 

At ADA Professional Construction Ltd, we understand that home renovations aren’t just a product, they’re a step-by-step journey. Every home and every homeowner is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

 

That’s why we work closely with you to create a renovation experience that fits your needs, budget, and lifestyle. From the very first conversation to the final touches, we’re here to guide you through the process and deliver results you’ll love.

If you’re in that first stage — wanting to renovate your home but not sure where to start — don’t worry, you’re not alone! We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners in Montreal and surrounding areas like Westmount, Côte Saint-Luc, Laval, and Longueuil who felt the exact same way. And guess what? Many of those projects turned out amazing.The truth is, starting a home renovation can feel overwhelming. You begin by looking online, asking friends for advice, watching videos — and before you know it, you’re buried in too much information. That’s what we call “paralysis by analysis.”But here’s the good news: not knowing where to start can actually be the perfect place to begin. Why? Because you haven’t made any mistakes yet — and if you start the right way, with a clear plan and the right team, the whole renovation process becomes much easier and smoother. In fact, starting strong often saves a lot of time, money, and stress later. Sadly, we’ve seen homeowners in Montreal start with the wrong contractor, or skip important steps, and end up paying more in the long run. That’s something we always try to help people avoid.

If you already have a few ideas for your home renovation or remodeling project in Montreal, that’s a great start. At ADA Construction, we often work with clients who bring a simple floor plan or even just a few notes—they all help us understand how you want your space to look and function.Before jumping into hiring a designer or searching online for ideas, it’s crucial to think about your budget. Knowing how much you’re comfortable spending from the beginning helps us recommend realistic solutions. While some homeowners hesitate to share their budget, thinking it might be used up too quickly, a trusted builder like ADA Construction uses that information to design a project that truly fits your needs—without any surprises later on.

The best next step is to get in touch with us to discuss your ideas. A site visit allows us to evaluate what’s possible and avoid technical issues down the line. Getting a builder involved early can save time and money, as we can guide your vision within your budget before the design process even begins. This way, we can ensure the concept matches both your goals and your financial plan.

Once we’re aligned on your ideas and budget, our design team will develop a custom concept for you to review. We’ll make adjustments as needed and provide an estimate before moving forward with a full quote. At ADA Construction, we specialize in renovations, remodeling, and residential construction throughout Montreal, and we’re here to make your vision a reality—from concept to completion.

So, you’ve done the groundwork—you’ve got your home renovation plans ready and you’re looking for a builder to provide a quote. At ADA Construction, we’re more than happy to help. But before you start sending your plans to multiple builders for competing prices, we want to share a crucial insight: choosing a builder based on price alone can be risky and often leads to poor outcomes.

In this industry, someone will always come in cheaper. But when a price is significantly lower, it usually means something important has been left out—only to be added (and charged) later. We call this “the race to the bottom,” and unfortunately, it rarely ends well for homeowners.

One major challenge is that no two builders quote in the same way. Each has their own process, interpretation of the plans, and assumptions about what’s included—from materials to subcontractors. This makes it difficult to compare quotes “apples to apples.” Even if two quotes look similar in price, the actual scope of work can vary greatly.

Renovations, unlike new builds, are unpredictable by nature. Every home is different, and once work begins, unexpected challenges often arise. Some builders factor in allowances for these, others don’t—and that can create big differences in pricing and project results.

Ultimately, this is your home—your most valuable asset and the place where life happens. Choosing a builder should never be about price alone. What we recommend instead is to build your decision around trust and connection. Talk to builders, get to know them, and choose someone you feel comfortable inviting into your home and life.

At ADA Construction, we believe the renovation journey should start with a solid relationship. We encourage open conversations about your budget from the start—not because we want to spend every dollar, but because knowing your limits helps us deliver the best possible outcome within your means. When there’s mutual trust and respect, we can work together to turn your vision into a reality that’s beautiful, functional, and lasting.

If you’re renovating in Montreal and ready to work with a team that values honesty, craftsmanship, and a personal touch, we’d love to hear from you.
