  • PJL Land Services is an irrigation and landscape lighting contractor based in Newmarket, serving York Region and the wider GTA. We design, install, and repair sprinkler systems, handle spring openings and fall winterizations, and install drip irrigation and low-voltage landscape lighting. We're also certified Hydrawise installers, so if your controller is older than your kids, we can fix that too. What you can expect: honest diagnosis, plain answers, and no upselling. If a $12 part fixes your problem, that's what we'll tell you — not that you need a new system. We aim for same-day repair availability during the season, because a broken zone in July doesn't care about your schedule. We build systems to last, which is why everything we install carries a 3-year parts and labour warranty. That means pressure-regulated heads, matched precipitation nozzles, and properly buried wiring — not the cheapest parts we could find at the supply house. Every service visit comes with a written work order documenting what we found, what we fixed, and what's worth keeping an eye on. No surprises, no vague invoices. If your lawn's half swamp and half desert, or your hedges are dying of thirst, give us a call.

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.
