In a condo, a renovation generally needs the board’s approval first, and some corporations require approved contractors or limit work hours — check with management before the pro is booked.

For houses, the City of Toronto picks up oversized items — furniture, mattresses, appliances — set out beside the garbage bin on collection day. Condo buildings have their own rules, and a full basement is still 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 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.
