About Newmarket

Building permits

Newmarket’s Building Services needs a permit for finishing a basement, a basement walkout, new or enlarged windows and doors, HVAC or plumbing alterations, and a deck that is attached, over 10 m² or 600 mm above grade. Replacing a furnace with no building alterations, same-size windows, and sheds of 15 m² or less with no plumbing need none. Fences need no permit unless they enclose a pool.

Help centre

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.
