Building permits
Pickering’s Building Services needs a permit for finishing a basement with walls added or removed, any new plumbing, enlarging or moving windows and doors, a shed over 15 m² (161 sq ft) and a deck more than 60 cm (24 in) above the ground. Furnace or boiler replacement in a detached house, same-size window replacement and basement waterproofing repairs need none.

Pickering’s Tree Protection By-law (8073/24) needs a permit to remove a tree in a designated protection area — usually along creeks and green spaces — for $155; trees outside those areas need none. Dead or hazardous trees in a protection area still need the permit, free with a certified arborist’s report.

The hamlet of Whitevale is Pickering’s one heritage conservation district. Repairing or replacing windows, doors, roofing, cladding or porches there, and any addition or demolition, needs a heritage permit; minor work can be approved by staff.

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.
