# Painting work in Toronto rentals, paid in seven days

Roundhouse is adding painters to its own trades for Toronto residential rentals. You quote, we confirm, the tenant knows you are coming, and you are paid seven days after close out at your rate.

## Painting jobs you can quote

- **Turnovers.** Between a move out and a move in: walls, ceilings, trim and doors, per room or full unit.
- **Patch and paint.** In occupied units, in a window the tenant was given written notice of at least 24 hours ahead.
- **Every building type.** Semis, duplexes, walk ups and condos.

## Occupied units, handled before you arrive

- **Notice given.** The tenant is told in writing and the window is agreed.
- **Drop sheets.** A clean floor and the furniture put back when you leave.
- **Scope locked.** Per room or full unit, with extra work approved first.

## What we ask in return

- **WSIB clearance.** Where WSIB coverage applies to your work, a current clearance, checked before booking and before every payment, because without it the principal can be liable for a contractor's unpaid premiums.
- **Liability insurance.** The certificate is on file.
- **Close out photos.** Of every room you painted, taken before you leave the unit.

## Pay terms

- 7 days from close out to payment. By e-transfer or EFT, no factoring, no early pay charge.
- 0% deducted from your invoice. The rate you quoted is the rate you are paid.
- 1 customer to deal with. Access arranged, scope locked, photos before you drive.

## Apply as a trade

Apply through the form on the web page: [Apply to join Roundhouse's trades](https://roundhousegroup.ca/apply/). It asks for your trade, any licence or registration numbers, your WSIB status, your liability insurance, your area and how you price.

## Questions

### Do I need a licence to paint for Roundhouse in Toronto?

No. Painting needs no trade licence in Ontario. You do need WSIB coverage where the law requires it, and a current clearance certificate on file.

### Is the tenant given notice before I come to paint?

Yes. For patch and paint in an occupied unit, the tenant gets written notice at least 24 hours ahead, and you arrive inside the window it names.

### How and when am I paid?

Seven days from close out, by e-transfer or EFT, at the rate you quoted. There is no charge for being paid on time.

### Does the tenant ever pay me?

No. Roundhouse is your customer. You invoice Roundhouse, and the tenant never pays you or changes the job on site.
