One contractor, picked by name and held to a published standard, calls you within a business day and quotes on their own paper. No fee to you, ever. Send a request: https://905trades.ca/request/ 1. **You get a reference number** It looks like 905-260914-K7P2. Keep it. It follows the job to the invoice. 2. **One partner gets your request** The one for your trade and town, with a copy to us so nothing is dropped. 3. **They call within a business day** They quote, you decide. You sign with them directly. 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. Read [how 905 Trades works](https://905trades.ca/how-it-works/) and [who the partners are](https://905trades.ca/partners/). Your request goes to one contractor and to us. It is not sold, not added to a list, and not shared with anyone else. You can withdraw it any time by emailing [hello@905trades.ca](mailto:hello@905trades.ca). See the [privacy policy](https://905trades.ca/privacy/). ## What to put in the details box Whatever the contractor would ask on the first call. It saves you both a round trip. - **Flooring:** which rooms, rough square footage, what is on the floor now, whether stairs are included, and whether you want them to supply the material or you already have it. - **Garage doors:** single or double, what the door is doing (won't open, noisy, damaged panel, no opener), and whether the opening is standard or an older non-standard size. - **Carpet and upholstery cleaning:** how many rooms or pieces, pets, and any stains you already know about. - **Renovations:** the room, what you want to change (layout, plumbing, electrical, finishes), whether it is a finished or unfinished space, and your rough budget if you have one. ## Not sure what it should cost? Read the range first. Every [service page](https://905trades.ca/services/) carries the typical Hamilton range for that job with its source beside it, and [Hamilton Home Costs](https://hamiltonhomecosts.ca/) has a calculator you can change to match your own square footage. A typical garage door replacement, for example, runs **$1,450 to $3,200** ([Hamilton Home Costs, garage door replacement, verified 25 Jul 2026](https://hamiltonhomecosts.ca/cost/garage/garage-door-replacement/)) in Hamilton, mid-range door, HST excluded. That is a published estimate, not a quote; the quote comes from the contractor. --- 905 Trades is paid a referral fee by the contractors it introduces. It does not change your price.
