Ask any contractor for these before you sign.
Ours are on the page, dated. Each card links to the document on the live site. Anything in [brackets] is a fact Kam supplies before launch; nothing here is claimed until it is.
Clearance certificate
Proof that every person on your site is covered if they are hurt. Without it, the liability is yours.
[$ limit] commercial general liability
Covers damage to your home and your neighbour's during the work.
Municipal building licence
Required by Toronto and most GTA municipalities for anyone pulling permits on your behalf.
HCRA licence and Tarion enrolment
Mandatory for any new home sold in Ontario. [Kam confirms the licence status.]
[term] workmanship warranty
In writing, transferable to the next owner [confirm].
[Association names]
Industry memberships with a code of conduct and a complaints process behind them.
[Kam supplies the WSIB account and expiry, the insurer and limit, the licence numbers, the HCRA and Tarion status, the warranty term and any memberships. Each card then links to the PDF.]
If a worker is hurt on your property and the contractor has no WSIB coverage, the claim can land on you. A clearance certificate is proof the coverage is current, and it has a date on it. Ask for it before signing and again before the crew arrives.
Damage to your house and your neighbour's during the work, with a limit that matches the size of the job. The certificate names the insurer, the limit and the renewal date. [Kam confirms Savino's limit and insurer.]
Toronto licenses building renovators, and several other municipalities have their own requirements for anyone pulling permits on an owner's behalf. Where a licence is required, the number goes on the permit. [Kam confirms which licences Savino holds.]
The Home Construction Regulatory Authority licenses builders and vendors of new homes in Ontario, and Tarion administers the new home warranty. Any new home sold in Ontario needs both. [Kam confirms Savino's status.]
