The housing here
Of Vaughan’s 103,915 occupied homes in the 2021 census, about half were built in 2001 or later and fewer than 8% before 1981; 62.5% are single-detached houses. Most systems here are first- or second-generation.

Vaughan has four heritage conservation districts: Kleinburg-Nashville, Maple, Thornhill and Woodbridge. Work that alters or changes the appearance of a property in one of them needs a heritage permit; routine maintenance usually does not.

Vaughan’s garbage limit is three items every other week, and furniture, mattresses and other bulky items count toward it (68 kg each at most); more than that needs paid tags — or 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.
