Protect your interests when renovating by following these 7 points

1/Sign a contract that is specifice about the work to be done, including price, financing terms and hourly rates for extra work.

2/Confirm the contractors permanent address and whether he is licenced to work in Ontario.
3/ Ask for references before procedding with work and visit your site while work is in process.

4/ Don’t sign a contract that differs from oral promises. Don’t assume it will somehow just be okay.

5/ Don’t make final payment until the project is finished

6/ Don’t start work until the financial arrangements to pay for work are complete.

7/ Don’t sign for delivers. The contractor must assume the risk.
