Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire. - A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay. - Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile. - Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out. - Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing. ## Contact - Phone: (416) 992-7965 - Website: http://www.cumminsrestorations.com --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/cummins-restorations Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
