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.

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.
