City of Toronto
Flooring & tile installers in Toronto, Ontario
Toronto is two cities in one: almost half its homes are apartments in buildings of five or more storeys, and 29% of all homes were built in 1960 or earlier — the houses where lead pipes, old wiring and basement flooding are. In a basement, check the flooding protection first: Toronto’s Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy pays 80% of the invoice up to $1,600 per backwater valve (two at most), $2,250 for a sump pump, $300 for a battery backup, $400 to sever and cap the foundation drain and $500 for a plumbing assessment — up to $6,650 per house. Downspouts must be disconnected, the contractor needs a City business licence, and you apply within two years. Doyo books flooring across Toronto: describe the job, see the full price before you book, and pay only when it is done.

Toronto Building needs a permit for a deck more than 60 cm (24 in) above the ground, for basement work that changes the structure, adds plumbing or creates a unit, for new or modified heating and plumbing, and for a backwater valve. Replacing a furnace or boiler in a house, or repairing and replacing plumbing fixtures, needs none.
