How do you choose a general contractor in Milton?
To choose a Milton general contractor, check its WSIB clearance and liability cover, ask who pulls each permit, then compare written quotes. Ontario law says any home reno contract worth more than $50 must be in writing. The province also suggests a deposit of no more than 10% of the price.
- Check the licence. A general contractor hires the trades, and Ontario says no one can run an electrical contracting business without an ESA licence. Check the electrician on your job in ESA's Contractor Locator.
- Confirm WSIB clearance. Ask for the company’s WSIB account number and confirm a current clearance on WSIB’s free eClearance lookup.
- Ask for proof of liability insurance. A certificate of commercial general liability insurance should name the company that will do the work.
- Ask about city licences and permits. Ask Milton whether the job needs a municipal licence or building permit before work starts.
- Get it in writing. Under Ontario law, any home renovation contract worth more than $50 must be in writing, and the final price cannot exceed an estimate by more than 10% unless you agree (Ontario consumer protection rules).
- Keep the deposit small. Ontario recommends a down payment of no more than 10%, and never paying in full before the work is done.
Milton takes residential permits through its online portal, and the town says a finished basement, new windows or doors, or a deck all need one. Name the permit holder in your contract.
