Five things to confirm with any firm, on this list or not, before you sign. The rules below are Newfoundland and Labrador's and St. John's's.
Ask the firm for a clearance letter from WorkplaceNL, which confirms it is registered for workers' compensation and its account is in good standing. WorkplaceNL issues clearance through its online service, so a firm in good standing can produce one.
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 St. John's come from the City of St. John's, and moving walls, plumbing or gas lines, or adding circuits, usually needs one, while new cabinets and counters alone usually do not. 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 6 firms on this list fall into 5 groups, read from what each firm's own site says it does and how it is listed on Google.
Home builders build new houses as their main work, and some take on additions and major renovations too.
General contractors run building projects of many kinds and bring in the trades each job needs.
Renovation companies renovate existing homes, one room at a time or all of it at once.
Design-build firms design the project and build it under one contract, so one firm answers for the drawings and the work.
Kitchen specialists work mainly on kitchens, from layout and cabinets to counters and finishing.
A cabinet company supplies and installs cabinets. A kitchen renovation firm runs the full project: demolition, plumbing and electrical changes, drywall, flooring, cabinets, counters and finishing, with one contract and one schedule.
Not for new cabinets, counters and finishes in most cities. Removing walls, moving plumbing or adding electrical circuits usually needs a building permit and inspections. Your municipality decides, so ask the firm to confirm what the job needs.
Design and measuring. The layout, cabinets and appliances are chosen before demolition, because cabinets and counters are made or ordered to fit the room. Then come demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, inspections where a permit is needed, drywall, cabinets, counters and finishing.
Yes. Leaving the sink, range and fridge where they are avoids moving plumbing, gas lines and circuits, so the job is simpler and often needs no permit. New cabinet doors, counters, backsplash, lighting and flooring change the look without changing the layout.
Ask the firm for a clearance letter from WorkplaceNL. WorkplaceNL issues clearance through its online service, so a firm in good standing can produce one.
Building permits for homes in St. John's come from the City of St. John's. For kitchen renovation, moving walls, plumbing or gas lines, or adding circuits, usually needs one, while new cabinets and counters alone usually do not. Many firms apply for the permit as part of the job, so agree who does it before you sign.
