7. ARE YOU LICENSED AND INSURED?

🛡️Yes, DMZ Maintenance & Contracting Services is a fully insured company, which is registered to operate within the Province of Ontario.

🛡️We also work closely with Ontario-licensed professionals for any work that legally requires it — including electrical and plumbing projects beyond the repair scope that our company offers to customers.

🛡️We never claim to be licensed in areas where we’re not — and we take Ontario’s trade licensing laws very seriously. When needed, we’ll coordinate and engage licensed affiliates for your project, so you don’t have to worry about sourcing specialists.

🛡️We’ll never cut corners when it comes to safety, compliance, or integrity - that is our promise. .

8. WHO WILL BE COMPLETING THE WORK?

👷Our founder, DJ, leads the majority of service visits, estimates, and project planning - so your in good hands from the beginning of your project journey.

👷For any job beyond our licensed scope, we look to bring in trusted independent, licensed professionals to ensure the work meets all legal and quality standards.

👷These working relationships are with those professionals that own their own businesses, have their own business insurance and this all creates a win-win for all parties. This strong structure also helps to cut down on search time for other trades and allows our founder, DJ, to expand the project scope responsibly - all while supporting other talented tradespeople.

👷Transparency is key for working with our clients, so that they always know who is performing the work.

9. DO YOU HELP WITH SMALL JOBS, OR ONLY LARGE ONES?

🛠️We love the small jobs just as much as the big ones.

🛠️Hanging curtains, mounting a TV, replacing a faucet — these are the kinds of tasks that make a big difference in a home or workspace.

🛠️No matter the size of your project, we give it full attention and respect.

10. DO YOU OFFER PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PACKAGES?

YES - AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED!!

Winter Ready Maintenance Package

Spring Start-Up Package

Summer Check-Up Package

11. WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION OR RESCHEDULING POLICY?

📩We kindly require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.

📩Due to the personalized nature of our bookings — last-minute changes affect multiple parts of our schedule and business operations - thus, for any fully confirmed appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, a $50 late cancellation fee will be applied to the client’s account (to be payable upon invoice receipt).

📧 Cancellations must be submitted in writing to [email protected].


📞
Voicemail messages alone are not considered valid cancellation - However, you're welcome to leave a message and then follow up by email to ensure proper documentation is received and understood by both parties.

📩This policy ensures fairness for everyone and helps us deliver excellent service to all clients.

12. DO YOU WORK WITH OTHER TRADES OR PROFESSIONALS FOR PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES?

🤝Yes! We regularly collaborate with other skilled, independent tradespeople who share our values of quality, accountability, and client care.

🤝Whether it’s a drywall expert, licensed electrician, or general contractor, we believe in creating working relationships that benefit both sides — and the client most of all.

🤝If you're a fellow business owner in the trades who believes in getting the job done right, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to [email protected] to connect.

13. ARE YOU HIRING OR GROWING YOUR TEAM?

🧑‍🔧We’re always looking to connect with driven, dependable, and talented people — whether you're in sales, admin, trades, or operations.

🧑‍🔧As we grow, we plan to build a team that values hard work, customer trust, and doing things the right way.

Think you’d be a great fit for our mission?

📢We’re open to discussing local partnerships, community sponsorships, or feature stories about our growing business.

15. WHAT IF THE PROJECT HAS ISSUES THAT NEED CORRECTING?

📝We take every concern seriously.

📝Our goal is to have all customers sign off on their completed project after our team finishes and goes over what was completed, so that full satisfaction is agreed upon at that time. If you’re not satisfied with the service you received from a member working on your project and did not mention it during the final stages of completion, please feel free to reach out to us via email at [email protected], and describe the details of the matter in full, so that our team can review and create a plan of action based on the needs.

📝If there is any issues that arise from a completed project (these things happen from time-to-time), please feel free to reach out to us via email at [email protected], or use the form in our 'Contact Us' section and describe the details, etc., so that our team can review and create a plan of action to try and rectify the issues in a timely manner.

📝Once your comments or concern are received, they will be reviewed carefully, and you’ll receive a response within a reasonable timeframe outlining any next steps our team will deem required. Our work ethic is rooted in care, quality, and long-term client relationships, so be assured your outreach will be fielded accordingly to the proper team member and responded to during each phase of moving the issue through the channels at the company.

📝When external professionals are brought in, we’ll work with them to help address concerns if applicable. We aim to make things right — because that's how trust is built.
