Step 1: Call 

​

• Call Pickering Home Improvement to arrange an appointment for your assessment

​

• During this call you will be asked a few verification questions to determine the approximate cost. You will also confirm your method of payment. (Preferred methods of payment include Visa, Mastercard, Debit or E-transfer. Payment plans are also available)

​

• We will confirm the date and time of your appointment. A non-refundable security deposit of $50 will be retained, to be credited to your final balance.  (We permit one rescheduling opportunity in the event of unforeseen circumstances)

​

Step 2: In Home Consultation

​

• We will give you an introduction to Pickering Home Improvement and explain how we work together with local qualified home improvement companies to give you the best possible experience

​

• You will learn more about our "House Dr." program and our membership, and have the opportunity to ask any questions before the assessment. 

​

• Accompanied by you, the consultant will walk through as many areas in your home as you scheduled, taking detailed assessment notes. This is a visual assessment and in rare cases may require an additional technical inspection to provide an accurate quotation (eg. Opening walls, removing electrical fixtures etc.).

​

• At the end of the consultation you will have a greater understanding of the price, products and the services required to proceed with your home improvements. Within 1 business day you will receive a full assessment package via email which includes: 

​

1. A summary of the Health of Your Home Assessment 

2. Estimates for relevant projects (e.g. Kitchen, Bathrooms etc.)

3. Prioritized list of most urgent projects

 

Step 3: Project

​

• When you are ready to begin your home improvement project(s) your consultant will arrange the right service(s) to meet your needs. Projects that are larger in scale may require multiple meetings to discuss personal choices (e.g. materials, style, various options etc.) at no further costs.

​

• Once the project details are agreed upon, a contract or receipt will be drafted by Pickering Home Improvement outlining the work to be completed, the price and agreed upon payment structure requested. For same day projects you will be notified of the price before hand. Payments are all made to Pickering Home Improvement and will be received by a Pickering Home Improvement Consultant.

​

• When the project begins, your consultant is available to answer questions or concerns. This allows our contractors/trades workers to focus on delivering quality service. This provides you with a clear line of communication to make this process a more enjoyable experience. 

​

Project Completion

​

• Upon project completed, you and your consultant will inspect the work to ensure that everything is to your satisfaction. All outstanding documents and financial matters will be closed (e.g. payment of remaining balance or payment plans as scheduled). 

​

• After the project has closed, we can expect a courtesy call thanking you for the business and asking about your experience. We also encourage you to call and ask any questions regarding your home.
