City of Toronto

House painters in Toronto, Ontario

Toronto has heritage conservation districts across the city. Inside one, new construction, alterations and additions need a heritage permit, which is separate from — and does not replace — a building permit. 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. Doyo books painting across Toronto: describe the job, see the full price before you book, and pay only when it is done.

By written quote. A pro visits, looks at the space and sends a line-by-line quote in the app. You pay a deposit when you accept it, and Doyo holds that deposit until you confirm the work is done. Part of the pro’s payment is held back for a warranty period after completion, so there is still money on the table if something needs putting right.
