Licensing & insurance in Alberta
Trades in Alberta operate under Alberta's Apprenticeship and Industry Training, plus WCB-Alberta coverage. Confirm both — ask for the WCB clearance letter and the journeyperson's certificate where applicable.
Pro approvals on WiseTrades hinge on a documented chain: identity-document scan, insurer-confirmation phone call, trade-certificate validation. Hiring outside? Mirror the chain yourself — request the certificate, phone the insurer, document the conversation. Skipping that diligence risks claim-denial outcomes that homeowners rarely recover from.
Before you book a fence contractor across Okotoks, AB
- Insist on a written change-order process before the job begins — every additional task should generate a signed change document with cost impact noted.
- Verify that the fence contractor understands Okotoks-specific bylaws (heritage, conservation-authority, parking, noise) that intersect the job site.
- Confirm rubbish-removal responsibility and disposal-fee handling: surprise dumpster bills tack onto final invoices when the duty was implied rather than written.
