Doyo Pro

Cleaning jobs in Markham — get local work on Doyo

Nearly half of Markham’s homes were built in 2001 or later, around the four heritage villages — Markham Village, Unionville, Thornhill and Buttonville — where the houses are much older. In Markham, expect whole-house cleans with basements, and move-in cleans in the newer streets. You keep your full rate; Doyo’s fee is added to the customer’s price.

Apply here in about five minutes, then finish verification in the Doyo Pro app.

Water

Markham’s water comes from Lake Ontario and the City puts its hardness at 123 mg/L, or 8.6 grains per gallon — hard water, which scales kettles, fixtures and water heaters over time.

Large items

Markham picks up furniture and bulky items every other week on garbage day, up to three items, with no appointment — anything beyond that is a junk-removal job.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Customers let Doyo pros into their homes. These checks are why they do.

  • 18 or older, legally able to work in Canada
  • Government photo ID and a matching selfie
  • A clear police record check
  • A smartphone with the Doyo Pro app
  • Your own tools, and transport to jobs

No provincial licence

No. House cleaning needs no provincial licence in Ontario. You still pass Doyo’s photo ID and selfie match and a police record check before you are offered work.

Some trades also ask for proof of liability insurance; the application tells you if yours does. Doyo reviews your documents — usually within a couple of business days.

Payouts

How payouts work

For jobs the customer pays by card through Doyo, your earnings reach your Doyo balance when the job is completed, and payouts are sent weekly by e-transfer. Tips are yours in full. On quote jobs, the deposit and balance are held until the customer confirms the work, and a warranty holdback is released after the warranty period.
