  • My name is Ezaaz Saeed, I have been working in construction for 10 years. My interest in this field started early in my life, as I always enjoyed using my hands to build things. I went to Central Technical high school where I took specialized courses in carpentry. From there, I continued my journey and went to George Brown College to study Building Renovation Technician and established early skills in framing, flooring and drywall. After graduating, over the next 6-7 years I worked for construction companies in the GTA that provide home renovation services. Once I gained technical skills and had a considerable amount of work experience, I wanted to start my own business where I could establish a long-lasting working relationship with my clients. Since then I have been working on projects across the GTA which include full basement renovations as well as projects that specifically focus on flooring, drywall, and painting. A primary goal for my business is to provide a client-centered approach. During the process, the client is included in every step and together, with clear communication and transparency, the client’s input, my skills and experience, we make our client’s renovation vision come to reality.

What Qualifications Should a General Contractor Hold?

General contractors oversee a wide range of construction and renovation projects, so it’s important to work with someone properly qualified and licensed. While requirements can vary by province or territory, key qualifications typically include:

Provincial or municipal licensing: Many provinces require general contractors to hold a valid license to operate legally. For example, in Ontario, certain construction work requires a licensed contractor registered with the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services.

Trade certifications: Depending on the scope of work, contractors may need certifications in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC systems.

Liability insurance: General contractors should carry public liability insurance to protect homeowners and themselves in case of accidents or property damage.

Workers’ compensation coverage: Contractors must have coverage for employees under provincial workers’ compensation programs, such as WSIB in Ontario.

What to Ask Before You Hire a General Contractor Near You

Hiring a general contractor is a big decision. From experience and pricing to project scope and safety, asking the right questions helps you make an informed choice and ensures your renovation or construction project runs smoothly.

Here are some essential questions to ask when choosing a general contractor:

What services do you offer?

Not all contractors cover the same range of work. Some specialise in residential renovations, others in new builds, additions, or commercial projects. Within those categories, services may include kitchen or bathroom remodels, roofing, structural work, basement finishing, or project management of multiple trades.

Are you licensed and insured?

A licensed contractor ensures your project complies with provincial or municipal regulations. They should also carry liability insurance to protect your property and workers’ compensation coverage for any staff or subcontractors. Don’t hesitate to ask about their experience in similar projects.

What’s your pricing structure?

Rates vary depending on project size, complexity, and materials. Contractors may charge a fixed price for a full project, an hourly rate, or a combination.

Be sure to ask:

  • Is there a deposit or upfront fee?
  • Are change orders or additional costs accounted for?
  • Are permits and inspections included in the quote?

How do you handle project changes or issues?

Ask how they communicate about delays, design changes, or unforeseen problems. A clear process ensures you’re kept informed and decisions are made collaboratively.

FAQs: Your Questions About General Contractors Answered

Do general contractors provide design advice?

Many contractors can offer guidance on layouts, materials, and finishes. Some even work with interior designers or architects for larger projects.

How long does a typical renovation take?

Timing varies based on project size and complexity. A kitchen remodel might take 4–8 weeks, while a full home renovation could take 3–6 months.

Can I get a trial or phased work?

Some contractors allow phased projects or smaller pilot jobs, especially if you’re testing their work quality or managing budget constraints.

How do I know if permits are needed?

Contractors should advise on municipal permits required for construction, additions, or structural changes and handle submission if included in their services.
