Yes. Our Montreal service area covers Montreal Island (Plateau-Mont-Royal, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Verdun, Outremont, Westmount, Côte-des-Neiges, Rosemont, Ahuntsic), the West Island (Beaconsfield, Pointe-Claire, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Kirkland), Laval, Longueuil, Brossard and the South Shore (St-Hubert, Boucherville). Same-week scheduling is the norm for Greater Montreal. Travel beyond a 50 km radius from Downtown Montreal may include a small mileage charge — confirmed in writing before the visit. After a positive mold result we refer to mold removal in Montreal; after positive asbestos to a licensed Quebec abatement contractor.

The on-site visit typically takes 45 minutes to 2 hours for a residential assessment, depending on the number of samples. Lab analysis is the bottleneck: 24-hour rush for spore traps and bulk samples (75–100 % premium), 3 to 5 business days standard, or 7 to 10 days economy. We email a plain-English PDF report the day the lab results arrive, and we follow up by phone to walk you through any positive findings. See how to choose an air quality testing service for what a good report should include.

Anytime you’re planning to disturb a suspect material in a home built before 1990. The big four in Montreal housing stock are vermiculite attic insulation (very common in Plateau, NDG and Outremont), popcorn ceilings (1960s–1980s residential), vinyl floor tile and the black mastic underneath, and pipe wrap in basements and boiler rooms. Buying a pre-1990 home is the other clear trigger — get the testing done before condition removal so a positive result becomes negotiating leverage rather than a surprise mid-renovation. We refer remediation to licensed Quebec abatement contractors after a positive result, and return for clearance air testing once the work is done. Asbestos testing service details.
