What customers see

Building permits

In Vaughan an uncovered deck needs no building permit if it is no more than 18.6 m² (about 200 sq ft), no more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade and not attached to the house; anything bigger, higher or attached does. A shed or other accessory building of 10 m² or more needs a permit too.

Trees

Vaughan’s Tree Protection By-law 177-2025 covers private trees 20 cm in diameter or more: removing one needs a permit and, unless it is dead, hazardous or ash-borer infested, an arborist report. Allow about 30 business days.

Heritage districts

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 collects leaves and yard waste seasonally in kraft paper bags or open containers marked for leaf and yard waste — no plastic bags — with branches under 10 cm tied in bundles no longer than 1.5 m.

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.
