Condo living offers the perfect mix of convenience and community, but when it’s time to renovate your space, there’s a lot more to consider than just picking paint colors or new flooring. Unlike renovating a house, condo renovations come with extra rules and responsibilities—and they’re enforced by your building management. One of the most important requirements? Hiring a licensed contractor with WSIB clearance and proper insurance coverage.
Here’s why this matters and what you need to know before starting your project.
Why You Can’t Hire Just Anyone
Building management in most condos has strict rules about renovations to protect the property, other residents, and you as the homeowner. Many require you to work with a contractor who is:
- Licensed – A licensed contractor knows the building codes and standards that must be followed. They’ll ensure your renovation is done correctly and legally.
- WSIB-Cleared – WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) clearance protects you from liability if a worker is injured on your property. Without this, you could be on the hook for hefty fines or legal issues.
- Fully Insured – Insurance coverage means your condo, neighbors, and building are protected in case of accidents, damage, or mishaps during the renovation.
Skipping these steps might seem like an easy way to save money, but it’s a gamble that could cost you more in the long run. Most building management offices won’t even allow the renovation to start unless your contractor meets these criteria.
