François Guida
President, CEO and Partner, Groupe Cartier
François Guida is a general contractor, president and partner of Groupe Cartier, a Montreal-based interior design, custom kitchen and high-end turnkey renovation firm. With over 21 years of experience in renovation and construction, he guides his clients through projects that genuinely transform the way they live in or use their space.
His role is to bridge the gap between a vision and its execution. Whether modernizing a home, transforming an entire floor, redesigning a kitchen, adding onto a house, rethinking the flow of a space, or renovating a commercial space, François helps his clients clarify their project before moving into action.
At the helm of Groupe Cartier, he works with a team of interior designers, kitchen specialists, project managers, carpenters and specialized partners. The company oversees every essential stage of a project: needs analysis, design, plans, budget, material selection, custom furniture, site coordination and construction follow-up.
For major renovation, addition or structural transformation projects, Groupe Cartier works with architects and engineers when required. This approach allows technical, regulatory and structural considerations to be factored in from the planning stage, while maintaining a coherent vision of design, budget and timeline.
François works on both residential and commercial renovations. He supports homeowners looking to transform a house, condo or income property, as well as retailers, restaurateurs, building owners and businesses who want to renovate or fit out a commercial space in their own image.
Known for a direct, structured and attentive approach, François values clear communication and rigorous management at every stage. His goal isn't just to deliver a well-executed space, but to give his clients the confidence to take on a major project, backed by a team capable of carrying it from the first sketch to final delivery.
François Guida and Groupe Cartier serve Montreal, the South Shore and the North Shore. Since 1998, Groupe Cartier has brought design, custom kitchens, site management and general contracting expertise together under one roof to deliver personalized, turnkey renovation projects.
