HOME IMPROVEMENT PRODUCT

Archive for July, 2010

More and More contractors like myself are having to travel for work.

I can honestly say as long as there going to pay top dollar I would be there. The economy is not that great right now and people in are home town just don’t wish to spend for quality home renovations and Improvements.

I have found that are Toronto based clientele are always willing to have us there and are happy when they see us show up on time. There are so many contractors in Toronto now! Well Maybe. Last year I read an article in a business magazine about contractors in Toronto.

I article said that more than half of the Home Renovations Guy’s there are just some lay-off worker with NO liability insurance. I even tested the fact! I had a client in Richmond Hill Ontario, I already new I would get the job but I told her to get a few estimates first.

She did not really wish to do that but I wanted to see what these guy’s are charging. I looked at 4 different estimates from 4 so called home renovation companies. 1 of the contractors was a good friend of mine that I have worked on other jobs with before.

! good contractor that was insured that is what I found. The other guy’s where way less in price and 2 of them did not even give them a copy of there insurance. The other one gave a copy of his car insurance and said he was insured. WOW!

If the insurance doesn’t say skilled trades policy there not insured bottom line. Most contractors have a least one master trade. If one guy gives you a price and the other guy’s give you something totally way off that price you need to check a little farther.

The bylaw officers in Toronto should be out there enforcing these permits. Another thing permits is up to the customers. If a contractor tell you you don’t need em! He is not a good contractor. If the contractor tell you you should have permits!

He is probably a contractor that is good. I don’t like running around getting permits but if the customers want the permits I’ll get them. The bottom line is with permits without permits the contractor should still give you the same job! 
If have put a few links on the permits and codes page and you can read about the Ontario Building code. Every city follows the Ontario Building codes but you also need to check with your city or town regarding permits.

Example In St. Catharines Ontario the town has made a couple of changes to residences for students because of poor quality of living. Your town might have some different restrictions so always check first.
