Five things to confirm with any firm, on this list or not, before you sign. The rules below are Ontario's and Vaughan's.
Ask the firm for a clearance certificate from the WSIB, which confirms it is registered for workers' compensation and its account is in good standing. The certificate confirms the firm is registered with the WSIB and up to date on its premiums, so check its dates cover your job.
Ask for a certificate of insurance that names the firm and shows commercial general liability coverage in force for the dates of your job, and check that the subcontractors it brings in are covered too.
Building permits for homes in Vaughan come from the City of Vaughan, and every addition needs one, and often a zoning review first. Agree in writing who applies for the permit and books the inspections.
Get the scope of work, the payment schedule tied to stages of the work, start and finish dates, how changes are agreed and priced, and who handles permits and cleanup, all in one signed contract before any work starts.
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.
The 10 firms on this list fall into 4 groups, read from what each firm's own site says it does and how it is listed on Google.
General contractors run building projects of many kinds and bring in the trades each job needs.
Home builders build new houses as their main work, and some take on additions and major renovations too.
Design-build firms design the project and build it under one contract, so one firm answers for the drawings and the work.
Renovation companies renovate existing homes, one room at a time or all of it at once.
Yes. An addition changes the footprint or height of the house, so it needs a building permit and often a zoning review for setbacks and lot coverage. Plans are usually drawn by a designer or architect before the permit application goes in.
Often, but the existing foundation and walls have to carry the new load. An engineer checks the structure before design starts, and the contractor builds to those drawings.
A survey of the lot, a check of the zoning rules for setbacks, height and lot coverage, drawings by a designer or architect, an engineer's review where the structure is affected, and the building permit. Ask the firm which of these steps it handles and which it expects from your designer.
Often. Most of the work happens outside the existing walls until the new space is joined to the house. Expect noise and dust, and a few days without power or water when the addition is tied in.
Ask the firm for a clearance certificate from the WSIB. The certificate confirms the firm is registered with the WSIB and up to date on its premiums, so check its dates cover your job.
Building permits for homes in Vaughan come from the City of Vaughan. For home addition work, every addition needs one, and often a zoning review first. Many firms apply for the permit as part of the job, so agree who does it before you sign.
