Most Ontario condo corporations want a written proposal covering the work, the materials, the dates and proof that whoever does it carries liability and workers' compensation coverage.
Buildings usually require the lift reserved in advance with a refundable deposit, and the common areas protected on the day.
Hamilton's noise by-law treats 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as the exempt period for construction and prohibits clearly audible construction noise between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
The city collects carpet and underpad only rolled and tied in bundles no longer than 1.2 m, caps bulk items at 90 kg and eight per booking, and refuses construction material.
Rooms, closets, the hall and the entry threshold are measured and priced per unit, so an owner with several units can choose which ones go this season and which wait.
Condo corporations commonly want a written proposal before flooring changes, work restricted to weekday business hours, and the service elevator booked with a refundable deposit for common-area protection.
Construction between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. sits inside Hamilton's exempt period, and clearly audible construction noise is prohibited between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The building's own rules are usually tighter, and they win.
Rooms, closets, the hall and the entry threshold, plus a note of the lift, the stairs and the door the carpet has to come through.
A written scope, the materials and the dates, set out in the form a condo board or property manager expects to receive.
Delivery, removal and installation are scheduled inside the hours the building permits, not around ours.
Old carpet and underpad out, tack strip checked and replaced where it has gone, new floor power-stretched, corridor swept behind us.
Each unit is measured on its own: rooms, closets, the hall and the entry threshold, so an owner with several units can choose which ones go this season and which wait. The old floor comes out first, rolled and tied to the size the building and the city both expect.
Turnovers get slotted into the hours a condo board or property manager allows, with the service elevator booked ahead of time so the corridor and common areas stay protected on the day.
Changing the carpet in an apartment is a different job from changing it in a house, and almost none of the difference is the carpet. It is the lift, the corridor, the board, the hours you are allowed to make noise in, and the roll of old broadloom that cannot simply go out with the garbage.
In most Ontario buildings, yes. The corporation usually asks for a written proposal describing the work, the materials, who is doing it and when, along with proof of liability and workers' compensation coverage. We put that together in a form the board can read.
A one or two bedroom unit is normally a single working day on site once the lift is booked and the old floor is clear. Several units for the same owner are scheduled back to back.
That is settled before the job starts, which is what the Carpet and Rug Institute tells owners to do. It matters here because Hamilton only collects carpet rolled and tied in bundles under 1.2 m, caps each item at 90 kg with eight items a booking, and will not take construction material at all.
The by-law's exempt period for construction in Hamilton is 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and clearly audible construction noise is prohibited between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Buildings usually narrow that further to weekday business hours, so the building's rules set the day.
Yes. Units are measured together, priced individually so you can choose which floors go this season, and run as one set of bookings for the building.
