Licences pour Installation de cloison sèche au Québec

Drywall installation in Quebec does not require a specific provincial licence for individual workers. However, on regulated construction sites (governed by Act R-20), plasterers and drywall workers must hold a CCQ competency certificate. The plasterer apprenticeship through the CCQ consists of three periods of 2,000 hours each (6,000 hours total, approximately 3 years). Contractors must hold the appropriate RBQ licence for construction work. Drywall installation must comply with the Quebec Construction Code requirements for fire separation, sound transmission, and moisture resistance. Red Seal endorsement is available for drywall finishers and plasterers.

Ask if they hold a CCQ competency certificate. Review their experience with fire-rated and moisture-resistant assemblies.

(1) What level of finish will you provide, and is it suitable for the intended wall covering? (2) How many coats of joint compound will you apply? (3) What type of drywall do you recommend for this application? (4) Do you carry liability insurance? (5) What is your warranty on the finished work?
