Scope, photos, tax and a licensed pro — the order that keeps a Canadian renovation honest before you spend.

RBQ, insurance, CNESST and the questions that matter before you award a Montreal-area job.

One number: the visit and tax. No commission inside the job. No second checkout surprise.

The deposit is not the pro’s income yet. When Stripe escrow is live, funds will release after the visit is marked done. Today there is no card hold.

Trade, city, licence, insurance and CNESST where it applies — then a Work cabinet, not a public profile by default.

GST+QST on a HandNorth Montreal quote is 14.975% and already sits inside the all-in number.

Cash off-platform, a missing licence on regulated work, and a price that hides tax.

City, photos and a budget range. Montreal-area pros can answer. Empty posts get silence.

Pros are not HandNorth employees. The marketplace holds quotes, verification, and escrow when Stripe is live.

Explore verified help, all-in pricing and energy-sensible jobs when they are actually on the quote — not a green slogan.
