Barrie Replacement Windows & Doors Installation and Repair
One of the first questions that anyone should ask before hiring a contractor to service their windows or doors is whether or not the contractor has liability insurance and how much they carry. Regardless of their skill or how careful your contractor is, accidents and catastrophes happen. That is why Ontario requires contractors to carry general liability insurance.
Liability Insurance The minimum coverage is $2,000,000, which costs the contractor around $425 per year, depending on many factors such as recent claims, business history, and high crime areas where they may work. The 2 million dollars covers injuries, legal defenses, product liability, and property damage. The coverage is required for carpenters, plumbers, re-modelers, and other general handyman services. Training, Certification, & Licensing Another concern is with licensing. Ontario requires certification, acquired through an apprenticeship program, and a business license. After you meet the prerequisites, you can then receive a carpenters’ or general contractors’ certification from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. A business license is available through the Canada Revenue Agency. If a contractor is missing these, you should consider another installer. Therefore, before hiring a window and door installer in the Barrie area, check for these credentials:
Also be sure to ask for personal and professional references. Ontario Building Code Reviews Windows Installation The Supervisor of Building Services oversees the building inspector. The building inspector is responsible for ensuring new construction and renovations get completed in compliance with the city building code. Checking with a building inspector before hiring a contractor could preclude you from paying someone who has multiple complaints with the building services office or perhaps unfinished projects. Building services can review replacement windows or doors plans to ensure those items meet the building code. Likewise, you don’t want new windows or replacement door installation to have to stop because the project does not meet housing or building code. Be sure that the window and door installer that you hire obtains the necessary permits for the job before starting.
