Shawinigan: even a same-size redo is declared first
In Shawinigan, even resurfacing your driveway at the same size is declared before the job: a free online work declaration for a 1–3 dwelling home. We fill it in with you. Widening takes a $25 certificate, and the City itself modifies the curb cut, at the owner’s cost (concrete curb sawing: $40 per metre in 2026). The driveway can be 3–8 m wide, and parking stays within 35% of the front yard. With 80.8 freeze-thaw days and 259 cm of snow a year at the Trois-Rivières station, a base compacted in layers is what makes the driveway last.
