Building permits
Milton needs a building permit before any portion of a basement is finished, and a kitchen isn’t allowed in a finished basement unless the space is approved as a secondary dwelling unit. Basement permits are inspected in stages, including below-grade, above-grade and final plumbing inspections.

Halton Region pays 50% of the cost, up to $1,600, to install a backwater valve inside the home, and 100%, up to $6,500, to disconnect the weeping tile and install a sump pump, for work done after July 15, 2024. The valve needs a building permit with a final inspection and a licensed plumber or qualified drainage contractor; each subsidy is once per property, and you apply within a year of the work.

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
Ontario has no general contractor licence, so none is checked for renovation itself. The licensed parts of a job — electrical, plumbing, gas — still need the licensed trade.
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.
