Identifying HST Rebate Eligible Elements in Your Construction Journey

Plans & Design

Because a renovation must be substantial, accounting for approximately 90% of the property to qualify for the HST Rebate on home renovation, you'll need a plan before you start working on your renovation, demolishing walls and removing flooring. You'll most likely need to source architects and renovation contractors to visualize your rebuild and ensure that all aspects are in compliance with local building codes. At this stage, you will also need to file for the required permits to begin construction.

Inspection & Restoration Company

A designated substance survey is likely required before beginning construction if you're tearing down an older home. Mandated by the Ontario government, designated substance surveys are required to detect harmful substances such as asbestos and lead before demolition begins. If a designated substance survey is not completed or filed promptly, the discovery of one of the highlighted substances can suspend progress on your construction. Inspections must be completed by a recognized and certified inspection contractor.

Plumbing & Electrical

Plumbing and electrical are essential infrastructures in modern homes and are more than likely an important part of your renovations, primarily if new bathrooms and kitchens are being implemented. The expenses related to plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services may be eligible for the HST rebate on home renovations.

Contractors (flooring, windows, drywall, etc.)

Once the framework for your newly built property is ready, you'll need to organize your renovation contractors for flooring, windows, drywall, interior design, cupboards, countertops, and other elements of your home. You can have one renovation contractor manage this entire process or source all your contractors individually. Regardless of how you choose to divvy up the work, it's essential that you retain all of your invoices of materials and services to submit with the Rebate4U team for your application.
