Do I have to accept every job?

No. Declining is always free. Accepting and then cancelling is what costs you — it affects your score, and your score decides how often you are offered work.

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 licence is needed for handyman work, but work Ontario licenses is not handyman work. Moving an outlet or replacing a supply line goes to a licensed electrician or plumber, and Doyo routes it to one.

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.

Brampton’s Building Division. Brampton’s Building Division needs a permit for a finished basement, a second unit, new or enlarged window and door openings, and any deck that is attached to the house or 0.6 m (2 ft) or more above the ground. A storage shed needs one at 15 m² or more, and a gazebo or other accessory building at 10 m² or more. Re-shingling, a fence (other than a pool fence) and swapping a forced-air furnace without changing the ductwork don’t.
