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.
Before any pro can quote on WiseTrades, our team telephones their insurer to confirm the policy is genuine and active, then validates identity documents independently. If you are hiring outside the platform, replicate that step yourself — the cost of one un-insured worksite injury wipes out a decade of contractor savings.
Before you book a mason across Lethbridge, AB
- Ask each Lethbridge mason for two recent client references and a portfolio of comparable jobs — five minutes of due-diligence calls beat any glossy brochure.
- Confirm warranty terms on labour separately from manufacturer warranties on materials — the two are commonly conflated in quote conversations.
