Hiring a contractor in Winnipeg: common questions
Who issues building permits in Winnipeg?
Building permits for homes in Winnipeg come from the City of Winnipeg. 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 Winnipeg before hiring?
Ask for a clearance from WCB Manitoba, 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 Manitoba?
Manitoba's New Home Warranty Act requires warranty coverage on new homes: at least one year on materials, labour and design, two years on building code defects and on the building's systems and envelope, and seven years on major structural components.
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.
