What to Verify Before Hiring

Before signing a contract with any hardwood contractor in Pickering, homeowners should confirm the following:

·         WSIB coverage and liability insurance — Ask for certificates. Without WSIB clearance, you may be held liable for workplace injuries on your property.

·         Written, itemized quotes — Ensure the quote specifies whether it includes removal and disposal of old flooring, subfloor preparation, and trim reinstallation.

·         References from recent Pickering projects — Ask for contacts from hardwood installations or refinishing completed within the last 6–12 months.

·         The 10-day cooling-off period — Under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, contracts over $50 signed in your home come with a 10-day right to cancel.
