Titan Group

Purchased Veka windows and Aluprof lift and slide doors as well as PVC front and side doors for our project, took a bit longer to get them than we anticipated, however, the quality of the product is incredible. Installers were knowledgeable and worked long hours to get it completed. The difference between north American and European windows and doors is night and day. Triple glazed, heavy and clean lines, ease of operation and overall experience was great! Highly recommend! Allow yourself enough time to get them in and you won't be disappointed.

Before you hire a general contractor in Ontario

No provincial licence exists for general contracting on existing homes. New home construction is different - those builders must be HCRA licensed.

Written contract with defined scope and payment schedule

The core protection. Should specify the fee structure explicitly - fixed price, cost plus a percentage, or cost plus a fixed fee - and what the fee is calculated on.

General liability insurance, and confirmation it covers your project type

Two million minimum. Ask specifically whether structural work is excluded, because some policies exclude it.

WSIB clearance for the GC and every subcontractor

The GC should be collecting clearance certificates from their subs. Ask whether they do; a good one will say yes without hesitating.

Permits pulled in the contractor's name

If the permit is in your name you become the constructor under Ontario's occupational health and safety framework, with the obligations that carries. Do not agree to this casually.

Verify with: Your municipal building department.

Questions worth asking

  • Is this fixed price, cost plus percentage, or cost plus fixed fee - and what is the fee calculated on?
  • Will you pull the permits in your company name?
  • Which trades are your own crews and which are subcontracted?
  • Do you collect WSIB clearance certificates from your subcontractors?
  • How many active projects will you be running while mine is open, and who is my day-to-day contact?
