Licensing & insurance in British Columbia
Trades in British Columbia operate under WorkSafeBC and SkilledTradesBC. Both must be confirmed — ask for the WorkSafeBC clearance letter and the journeyperson's TQ (Trade Qualification) where applicable.
WiseTrades validates every approved pro's identity, insurance, and trade certificate directly with the issuer before any job quote becomes possible. Hiring outside the platform? Demand proof of liability cover and a current trade certificate before tools come out — anything less puts your home insurance position at risk.

Frequently asked questions
- When does my chimney need repointing?
- Repointing in Coquitlam, BC typically lasts 25–50 years. Signs you need it: crumbling mortar (you can scrape it out with a key), water leaking into the firebox, white efflorescence on the bricks, gaps between bricks. Get a free inspection on WiseTrades.
- Brick veneer vs full brick wall?
- Most modern homes in Coquitlam, BC use brick veneer (single course on a wood-frame back-up). Full brick (load-bearing) is rare in residential since the 1950s. Repairs and additions to existing brick must match the original mortar colour and joint style — a good mason will sample first.
- Does my mason need WorkSafeBC clearance in British Columbia?
- Yes. Every contractor working in British Columbia must carry active WorkSafeBC clearance. WiseTrades verifies it on every approved mason profile. If a contractor cannot provide a clearance letter, you are personally liable for any worker injury on your property — never skip this step.
