Découvrez le prix pour passer une entrée électrique de 100 A à 200 A au Québec, les coûts des pièces, la main-d’œuvre et les facteurs qui influencent la facture.

Un grand nombre de propriétés résidentielles bâties dans les années 1970 à 1990 possèdent encore une entrée électrique de 100 ampères. À cette époque, cette capacité suffisait amplement à alimenter l'éclairage, quelques appareils ménagers et le chauffage de base. Toutefois, avec l'électrification rapide des transports, la popularité croissante des thermopompes performantes et l'aménagement de sous-sols complets, cette capacité atteint aujourd'hui très vite ses limites lors de nos hivers québécois.

Are you thinking about renovating your store or undertaking renovations in a brand new location? Regardless of your personality and the desired style of your shop, here are some guidelines that should drive your thinking.

Tips for renovating your shop or boutique in Ontario

Contrary to the lighting of a restaurant that you'd want to be subdued because of the atmosphere that one wishes to create, it is quite different for the defining brightness within your boutique. Lighting inside a store should illuminate the highlights of your offerings, such as the insignia of your trademark, as well as the various products offered for sale as well as the different sections. Without overwhelming the shop with blinding light, you must ensure that you clearly highlight the items mentioned above.

The sales space: between moderation and staging

Any shop owner, or aspiring owner, knows very well that an overload of elements will be like suffocating the customer, as well as hampering the circulation of your store. So, it is important to find the right balance between too few and too many items. Also, the layout of your products should be staged to create a welcoming atmosphere within your&nbsp;shop.

The choice of furniture: solidity and aesthetics

In some renovation projects, it is important to maximize storage and space by taking advantage of the ceiling height. In this case, it's not advised. Why is that? This is because inaccessible products at arm’s length will simply not sell. If in a hurry, your clients may not wait for help to grab that coveted item. In the same vein, be aware that an object too close to the ground may be unpopular due to the lack of visibility.

In reflection, we must, therefore, admit&nbsp;that the integration of very high wall displays is of little use. Although your displays do seem to function as a storage space for your products, do not forget that their appearance is actually a reflection of the style and personality of your store. For this reason, choose carefully and with&nbsp;the aim of integrating them harmoniously within the rest of the&nbsp;shop.

More precisely concerning the central displays of your boutique, it's important to be vigilant as their height risks compromising the reception of the space and the visibility of the store as a whole. If necessary, select models with a modest height than that of taller wall displays.

To ensure that your customers enjoy a quiet environment and are not overwhelmed by the sound of footsteps, it is important to select a floor with good acoustic properties. Due to high traffic flow within commercial buildings, you will need to choose a wear-resistant floor covering that is also able to withstand shocks or falling objects.

Moisture resistance is also advisable given that wet boots will likely come into contact with the surface of your floor from time to time. In an alternative&nbsp;step, anti-slip properties are necessary to&nbsp;limit the risk of falling. Lastly, your boutique floor must be easy to maintain to avoid unnecessary effort. So, what are your options? Taking the above-mentioned requirements into consideration, our flooring recommendations are oriented towards PVC, porcelain, stoneware or laminate.

Thinking of renovating your shop by yourself?

This avenue is often considered by those who hope to save money. However, in certain parts of Canada, such as Quebec, this may be problematic with respect to the requirements imposed by Bill R-20, which is sometimes severely enforced by the CCQ. Geneviève Lorange, a shopkeeper who started her business on St-Catherine Street in February of 2016, <a href="http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2016/02/18/son-reve-de-jeune-entrepreneure-compromis-par-la-ccq">knows a lot about this issue</a>.

A visit from an inspector of the CCQ almost put the brakes on her dream. Forbidding her to paint her own premises, she was able to complete her project thanks to the offer of construction contractors who offered to complete the work covered by the ban. The moral of this story? Find out the local and municipal legislation, rules and regulations before undertaking any modification or work in your future or current store, as plenty of renovation work requires a permit.

If you are renovating a store in Ontario, it is required that you respect the Property Standards and Property Maintenance bylaws and regulations. Failure to comply with these will result in fines and the possibility of closing down your project. Even for minor property improvements, it would be suggested that you draft up a detailed plan.

If you are renting a property, this is especially important. This is because anything you add to your boutique or store will be owned by the landlord, including air conditioners, light fixtures, shelving and cabinets. Even for minor paint jobs, it is necessary to have everything in writing, apply for permits and work with trusted contractors to complete these projects.
