Source: https://905trades.ca/ · Last updated: 2026-08-30 · 905 Trades --- Tell us the job and the town. One contractor, picked by name and held to a published standard, calls you within a business day and quotes on their own paper. You hire them directly. You never pay us. [Request a contractor](https://905trades.ca/request/) [How it works](https://905trades.ca/how-it-works/) ## The contractor pays us. Not you. When a job we introduced gets done, the contractor pays 905 Trades a referral fee out of their own margin. Your quote is the contractor's normal quote. We publish this on every page because a referral you cannot see is a referral you should not trust. 905 Trades is paid a referral fee by the contractors it introduces. It does not change your price. You hire the contractor directly, on their quote and their contract. ## What we send work for Residential only. One vetted partner per trade, so you are never handed a list to sort through yourself.

Every partner starts as somebody the operator sought out by name, and no partner receives a single lead until all five of these are on file. The standard is published so you can hold us to it, and each partner's own page shows exactly where that business stands today. **WSIB**A clearance certificate, or a documented exemption, confirming their account is in good standing and premiums are paid. **Insured**A current certificate of liability insurance, checked before the first lead, not after. **HST**Registered, so the invoice you get is a real invoice from a real business. **4.5+**A Google rating of at least 4.5 across real reviews, and work the operator has to have seen in person. ## What happens after you send a request 1. **You send one form** The job, the town, how to reach you. Two minutes. It gets a reference number like 905-260914-K7P2 that follows the job to the invoice. 2. **We match it to one partner** The partner for that trade in that area gets your request the same day, with a copy to us so nothing is dropped. 3. **They call within a business day** That is a condition of being on this site. They quote on their own paper and you sign with them, not with us. 4. **The job gets done, and we get paid by them** When the work closes, the contractor pays us a referral fee. Your price was never touched. ## Towns our partners actually cover We list a town only when a partner drives there. Ancaster, Dundas, Waterdown and Binbrook are covered under Hamilton, because they share Hamilton's building department. [HamiltonPermits: City of Hamilton.

Two examples, so you can see what a fair quote looks like before you get one: a typical garage door replacement in Hamilton runs **$1,450 to $3,200** ([Hamilton Home Costs, garage door replacement, verified 25 Jul 2026](https://hamiltonhomecosts.ca/cost/garage/garage-door-replacement/)), and 800 square feet of vinyl plank installed runs **$4,400 to $8,000** ([Hamilton Home Costs, vinyl plank installation, verified 25 Jul 2026](https://hamiltonhomecosts.ca/cost/flooring/lvp-installation/)). Both are published estimator ranges for mid-range materials with HST excluded, not quotes. Every service page here carries the matching range and the permit facts, each with its source beside it. When a partner's own price sheet is verified it is published on their page, dated. ### Own a trade in the 905? One partner per trade per area gets every lead we receive for it.
