The Renomark is the Renovators Mark of Excellence. We have all heard Mike Holmes say it a thousand times….’Make It Right!!’ Members of the Canadian Home Builders Association believe in just that….we strive to do it right everytime!! At Vaughan Custom Builders we are always available for our clients questions because we believe a knowledgable home owner is an empowered home owner. There are those contractors that feel the opposite and the home owner having more knowledge means more corners they won’t be able to cut….and you don’t want to be dealing with that guy!! Here are the Canadian Home Builders Association – Calgary Regions 10 Reasons to Hire a RenoMark Approved Renovator….which Vaughan Custom Builders is proud to be endorsed by and a member of.
1.RenoMarkTM members believe in professionalism. They are committed to their industry and to their businesses and are willing to pay annual dues to keep informed and to help educate consumers as well.
2.RenoMarkTM members have legitimate business licences. They do not support the underground economy of renovators who avoid paying taxes and operate “fly-by-night” and “cash only” businesses.
3.RenoMarkTM members are informed. Information and education are important benefits of membership. Our members are the first to know about changes in building codes, municipal requirements, health and safety regulations and more through our courses, information sessions, and communications program. Our Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Calgary Region Renovators Council meets monthly for industry updates and information exchange sessions.
4.RenoMarkTM members are “in-the-loop”. It makes sense to hire a renovator that is part of an extensive home building and renovating industry network. Our members are in touch with manufacturers, suppliers, and experienced sub-contractors. They know what’s new and where to get it.
5.RenoMarkTM members offer peace-of-mind. Joining our program is your sign that a renovator is concerned about fair and honest quotes and reliable start and finish dates. They understand that keeping the lines of communication wide open is the key to a successful job.
6.RenoMarkTM members comply with the association’s general code of ethics applicable to all members plus a renovation-specific code of conduct. It’s all about integrity. Our members believe in treating not only their clients appropriately, but also deal fairly with sub-contractors and employees.
7.RenoMarkTM members offer a wealth of advice. Put them to work for you in the planning stages of your renovation. Our members can offer design and technical advice to achieve designs you may not have thought possible. They are one call away.
8.RenoMarkTM members take care of the details. Hiring a professional means that the details like ensuring all sub-contractors have Workers Compensation Board coverage, necessary approvals and permits are in place, and obtaining the appropriate insurance are not only taken care of, they are readily available to you for your assurance.
9.RenoMarkTM members offer a warranty. A contractor committed to professionalism will offer you the coverage you need. Under the table deals leave you no recourse – so make sure your renovator spells it out on paper. Our members can also provide you with a written list of referrals so you can check on their performance and expertise.
10.RenoMarkTM members are part of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Calgary Region – a crucial first step in knowing that you’ve hired a professional.
