As we enter a very 'tight' year financially, homeowners needing renovations or improvements done will find a lot of tradespeople giving incredibly low quotes to win contracts.This is good news for homeowners, and I recommend that all customers source at least a couple of competitive quotes, to compare costs, services, experience and skill level of various companies.
Having said that, it is important that homeowners compare 'apples to apples', and ensure they are hiring professional, legitimate contracters with the necessary protection in place to cover both the homeowner, and contracter, should something go wrong on the jobsite.
When considering who to source quotes from for your job, please ensure your contractor:
1) Is registered and licensed municipally and provincially
2) Has the appropriate liability insurance, should someone get hurt on the job site (on your property)
3) Has proper WCB insurance, if they have a crew or employees
Sourcing a competitive price is important - but ensuring your contracter is properly insured and registered is vital, should something happen on the jobsite.
ONIT Construction is happy to provide proof of all of the above registrations and insurance, and encourages all homeowners to request these documents before awarding their business.
