It’s spring! and possibly time to start that home reno project

The broader context

Although the weather has been suggesting otherwise, today is the first day of spring. Yes, spring! . . . The time of year when thoughts turn to love, cherry blossoms,  and quite possibly, some serious home renovations.

Whether you are re-shingling your roof, replacing your eavestroughs, or converting living spaces to meet changing needs, knowing both your rights and responsibilities will help to ensure the experience turns out to your satisfaction.  Who should I hire? What should the contract include? Will the bylaws of the strata corporation for my condo allow me to make these renovations? Who can I talk to for more information?

Resources on Clicklaw can help you  find the answers to these and other questions. Begin your reading here, and start those spring renos on the right foot!
