Hiring a contractor in Edmonton: common questions
Who issues building permits in Edmonton?
Building permits for homes in Edmonton come from the City of Edmonton. Structural work, additions, new plumbing and electrical work and basement finishing usually need one, while cosmetic updates usually do not. Agree in writing whether you or the firm applies.
How do I check a contractor in Edmonton before hiring?
Ask for a clearance letter from WCB-Alberta, which confirms the firm is registered for workers' compensation and in good standing, and for a certificate of liability insurance covering the dates of your job. Then read its Google reviews from the last year and ask to see finished work like yours.
Is there a warranty on a new home in Alberta?
A new house in Alberta must be built by a licensed residential builder and carry warranty coverage under the New Home Buyer Protection Act: at least one year on materials and labour, two years on the delivery and distribution systems, five years on the building envelope and ten years on the structure.
Is renovation work covered by a warranty?
A renovation is not a new home, so the new home warranty rules usually do not apply: get the firm's own workmanship warranty in writing, with what it covers and for how long. Renovators in RenoMark, the Canadian Home Builders' Association program, offer a minimum two-year warranty on their work.
