A weakened structure, damaged framing or water damage — repaired at the source.
At Construction Hibou, repairing a structure starts with understanding its cause, so the problem doesn't come back, across Greater Montreal.
A sagging joist, damaged framing or water damage aren't solved on the surface: you have to find the source, correct it and reinforce to code. As an RBQ-licensed general contractor, we assess, repair and rebuild, with an engineer's input when the structure calls for it, then restore the building's strength. An honest diagnosis up front avoids needless repairs and costs that keep coming back. Structural work is rarely visible once it is done, but it is the part of the house everything else rests on — so it is worth doing properly the first time. This service is part of our construction work.
Structural job sites led by our team.
A lasting repair tackles the cause — here's everything we take on.
We look for the origin of the problem — water intrusion, overload, wear — before repairing.
Replacing or reinforcing the joists, beams and framing elements that are damaged.
Adding supports and reinforcement to restore strength, to the plans required.
Drying, removing the affected materials and replacing them, for a healthy building.
We close up, rebuild and finish so the repair no longer shows.
From the first meeting to handover — organized and transparent.
We assess your project and give you a clear, detailed quote.
Project planning, budget planning and scheduling — with you.
Our team delivers the work properly and on time.
Final walkthrough with you, clean site, impeccable result.
In a repair, the extent of the damage and the cause to correct lead the budget. Here's what moves it:
• The extent of the damage — a targeted repair costs less than an extensive structural reinforcement.
• The cause to correct — fixing a leak or a foundation issue at the source adds work.
• Access to the structure — a hard-to-reach area takes more preparation.
• Engineering — an engineer's plans, when required, are part of the costs.
Every project is quoted after a free consultation.
Finding the cause, then letting things dry, adds steps you can't compress. Here's what affects the timeline:
• The extent of the damage — a local repair finishes far faster than an extensive reinforcement.
• The diagnosis — finding and correcting the cause may add a step.
• Drying — in the case of water damage, full drying takes time to respect.
• Engineering and permits — plans and approvals are part of the schedule when required.
We set a realistic schedule after the diagnosis and keep you informed through to the end.
Yes, always. Repairing the surface without correcting the cause — a leak, an overload or wear — only postpones the problem. We diagnose first, then repair and reinforce for the long term.
When the structure calls for it, yes. For a reinforcement or a structural change, we work with an engineer's plans and obtain the required permits.
Yes. We dry, remove the affected materials and replace what needs replacing, after fixing the source of the water, for a healthy, solid building.
Yes. We replace or reinforce weakened joists, beams and framing elements, to code and to the plans required.
