Shelley DAngelo
Great guys, on time, worked efficiently and I would absolutely hire them again. Extremely fair pricing, honest and service oriented. Call them you wine sorry
Alta
Allan was an absolute pleasure to work with on our basement renovation. He demonstrated great attention to detail throughout the project and maintained clear, consistent communication every step of the way. We always felt informed and confident in the progress. His professionalism and commitment to quality really stood out!
Karyssa Cartwright
Had a great experience with Renocontracting! We had a lot of issues in a new build house that the builders did not fix so we were looking for someone who could do everything from tiles to painting. We are very happy with the work done and our house feels more like a home now!
Lisa Thomas
We had Samo come to give us a quote for a small powder room. We wanted him to remove the sink and toilet to lay down a new floor and baseboards. He then replaced the toilet and installed a new sink for us. He was extremely polite and professional. He gave us a time frame when the work was to be completed and even though he ran into a few issues (none of them his fault just our old house) he still completed the job on time. It turned out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier! I will definitely have Samo back for future renovations and would highly recommend him! Thanks again Samo! Lisa and Phil
Jeril Poulose
We had Allan and team build stairs for our backyard. He is very knowledgeable and had great suggestions on the design. Right from the start, Allan kept us informed as he made progress through the project and delivered top quality work. I would 100% recommend Allan and team for home renovation and would definitely hire him for my future projects.
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?
