Do I have to accept every job?

No. Declining is always free. Accepting and then cancelling is what costs you — it affects your score, and your score decides how often you are offered work.

Building permits

King needs no building permit for a rear-yard deck under 10 m² (108 sq ft) that is not attached to the house, for a storage shed of 10 m² or less (up to 15 m² if detached, storage-only and with no plumbing), for a fence that does not enclose a pool, for re-shingling a house, or for a like-for-like furnace or water-heater replacement. Any deck over 10 m² or more than 600 mm (2 ft) above grade needs one, and so does repairing or installing a septic system.

Water

Nobleton and Schomberg run on groundwater that measured 264 mg/L of hardness in 2026 — “very hard” on York Region’s scale — while King City’s blend of Lake Ontario water and groundwater measured 131 mg/L, “hard”. Outside the four serviced communities, homes are on private wells, which the owner must maintain and test; the Township hands out free well-water test kits at 2585 King Road.

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
Certificate of Qualification — Plumber (306A)

Licensed trade

Yes. Plumbing is a compulsory trade in Ontario, so Doyo checks your Certificate of Qualification (306A) before you are offered plumbing work, and again when it is due to renew.

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.
