Verify the RBQ licence before you sign
In Quebec, a contractor performing construction work must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. The RBQ register is public and free: search the company name or licence number before paying a deposit. It is the fastest and most useful check you can make, in Sherbrooke as anywhere else.
