What to know about General contractors
A general contractor, or GC, takes responsibility for a renovation from start to finish. Instead of calling a carpenter, a plumber, an electrician, a drywaller and a tile setter one by one, you sign one contract with one company, and that company hires, schedules and supervises everyone else. The GC orders materials, books inspections, keeps the site safe and answers for the result.

How to choose general contractors in New Tecumseth
- Look for a contractor who has finished projects similar in size and type to yours, and ask to see them.
- Get a written contract with the scope, the payment schedule, the timeline and how changes will be priced.
- Ask who will manage the job day to day and how often you'll get updates.
- Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and that their trades are licensed where required.
- Compare quotes on the same scope, and ask what each one leaves out.
- For structural changes, make sure an engineer or designer is involved where needed.
Questions to ask general contractors before you hire
- Who will pull the permits, and who will be there for inspections?
- Which parts of the job will you do yourselves, and which will go to subcontractors?
- How do you handle change orders and unexpected problems once walls are open?
- What is the payment schedule, and what is each payment tied to?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship, and is it in writing?
- Can I speak with a few of your recent clients?
Renovation permits in Ontario
Some renovation work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Ontario
General contracting and renovation
Renovating an existing home generally doesn’t require an HCRA builder licence: HCRA says renovations or upgrades typically don’t make a home “new”. Ontario advises checking references, WSIB coverage and trade certificates before you hire.

New-home building and warranty
All new-home builders and sellers must be licensed by the HCRA, and new homes come with warranty coverage backed by Tarion.

Guides about renovation
- ✦
Three quotes for the same job, and none of them match
The gap between the low quote and the high one is rarely a discount. It is two contractors pricing different amounts of work, and the only way to see which is to read down the trades instead of across to the total.

What a deposit is for, and what it is not
A deposit buys materials and holds a slot in a schedule. It is not a show of good faith, it is not half the job, and the number your province considers normal is smaller than most people are asked for.

Licensed, insured and bonded are three different things
The phrase runs together on every truck door and every website footer. Each word points at a different document, two of them are issued by bodies you can search yourself, and one of them may not exist for the trade you are hiring.

Common renovation questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
