## About
Michael De Jong Homes has more than 20 years of experience in high-quality, custom renovations designed to suit each client’s lifestyle and budget. Michael has been designing and building homes for more than 20 years. He grew up on job sites, as his father was also a homebuilder. Here is how Michael describes his love for design and build: “I was always on construction sites as a child and absolutely loved it. About 25 years ago, after university, I joined my father in the business. I trained as a framer but have always loved design and attention to detail in trimming, cabinet-making and furniture design and construction.” Fifteen years ago, Michael opened Michael De Jong Homes Inc. with a vision to beautify Burlington and the surrounding area one home at a time. De Jong Homes strives to create for every client the best possible fit between living space and lifestyle. Feel free to reach out to us, we would love to hear from you!

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemized quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. 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.
