What customers see

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.

Trees

Newmarket needs a permit to remove a tree on your property more than 20 cm (8 in) in diameter, measured 1.4 m above the ground. Dead or dying trees still need the permit; an emergency needs an email to the Town.

Heritage district

The Lower Main Street South Heritage Conservation District is Newmarket’s one heritage district. Alterations to a property there need a heritage permit; general repairs to eavestroughs, roofs, chimneys, fences and existing cladding are exempt.

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 provincial licence is needed to build a deck or a fence, but many decks need a building permit from the town. Say in your quote which permits the job needs and who applies for them.

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.
