Home modification

What is home modification?

Home modification refers to any change made to the existing structure, layout, or functionality of a house. These modifications can be aesthetic, functional, or structural, depending on the needs of the homeowner.

Home modifications may include:
Changing the interior layout
Adding or removing walls
Modifying load-bearing elements
Reconfiguring rooms for better flow
Updating or expanding specific areas
Improving accessibility or functionality
Adjusting the structure to meet new needs (e.g., open-concept design, new staircase, larger openings)

When structural components such as beams, columns, or load-bearing walls are affected, modifications must be supervised by a structural engineer to ensure stability, safety, and compliance with the Québec Building Code.

Home modification allows homeowners to improve comfort, modernize their home, adapt spaces to their lifestyle, and increase property value—all without needing to move.
