Montreal Old Port with Notre-Dame Basilica

One-stop sourcing · Montreal, Quebec

Building materials in Montreal.

A single factory-direct source for the whole Montreal finish schedule, so builders, architects, and homeowners spec an entire project, a Plateau triplex reno, a Westmount greystone, a Mile End loft conversion, against one delivered quote instead of chasing six separate suppliers.

In short

One brief, one delivered quote. Crateworks sources windows, cabinets, flooring, tile, countertops, and more for Montreal, each specced for National Building Code zone 6 cold, road-salt winters, and a plex-and-greystone housing stock, not a generic cold-climate default with the city name swapped in.

Specced for Montreal

Everything sourced for Montreal is chosen against National Building Code climate zone 6, cold and humid, with a winter that brings real snow load and a summer humid enough to matter on its own. That combination changes three things across the schedule. Exterior products need a genuine cold-weather spec, low U-factor windows, snow-load-rated pergola and sauna roofs, frost-line fence posts, freeze-thaw and salt-resistant tile at entries, since Montreal's aggressive winter road-salting is harder on exposed metal and masonry than a drier or milder city's winter ever is. Anything with a wood component gets stressed from two directions in one year, humid swelling in summer, hard freeze in winter, so the material call has to answer both. And indoor materials, cabinets, closets, wood flooring, need a substrate built for that same swing, plus a willingness to fit a plex, triplex, or greystone floor plan that was never laid out to a modern standard. The buying window here runs May through July, so ordering in that stretch is what gets a project installed on schedule rather than waiting on it.

How it ships to Montreal: Freight lands right at the Port of Montreal on the St. Lawrence Seaway, in the metro itself.

Common questions

Windows and doors, cabinets and millwork, flooring, tile and stone, countertops, lighting, bath fixtures, wall panel, and wellness, all coordinated into a single delivery. If it is part of the finish schedule, it is almost certainly on the list.
Running the whole schedule through one factory-direct order strips out the stacked distributor and showroom margins. That recovered margin goes back into spec, a heavier window frame, a thicker counter, a snow-load upgrade, not just a lower price on one line item.
That is most of the job here. Century-old Montreal housing stock rarely runs a standard opening or a square wall, so we build and source to the room's real dimensions rather than asking it to fit a stock catalog.
Everything is built or sourced to your spec. Send drawings, a materials list, or a rough idea, and we quote to it through /brief. Nothing here is a fixed catalog.
The buying window here runs May through July. Ordering in that stretch is what protects your install slot rather than pushing the whole schedule back into next season.
