Renovation contractors: common questions

What is the difference between a renovation contractor and a general contractor?

The two overlap. A renovation contractor works on existing homes, while a general contractor may also take on new builds and additions. Many firms do both, so judge them on the projects they show rather than the label.

What is RenoMark?

RenoMark is the renovator program of the Canadian Home Builders' Association. Members agree to a code of conduct that covers written contracts, a warranty on their work and liability insurance.

How do I compare renovation quotes?

Ask each firm to price the same written scope, split into labour, materials and allowances for items you have not chosen yet. A low quote often has small allowances that grow once the work starts.

Can I stay in my home during a renovation?

Often, when the work covers one or two rooms. Full-home renovations, work that shuts off water or power for days, and jobs that disturb older materials such as asbestos in plaster or flooring can make it hard to stay. Ask the firm how it will stage the work and keep a kitchen or bathroom usable.
