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.
Each approved tradesperson on WiseTrades clears identity confirmation plus insurance-issuer phone validation prior to receiving quote-submission privileges. Going off-platform? Insist on a clean copy of the contractor's general liability policy plus a verifiable trade qualification — homeowner-paid losses from unlicensed work are unforgiving.
Before you book a mason across Red Deer, AB
- Ask whether the mason you are quoting carries WSIB or WCB clearance specifically (not just liability insurance) — worker-injury exposure can land on the homeowner without it.
- Confirm sub-trade arrangements: most Red Deer mason work involves at least one sub-trade, and the lead contractor's responsibility for sub-quality must be explicit.
- Negotiate retention on final payment (typically five-to-ten percent) held back until the post-handover punch-list closes.

- Does Alberta require a contractor to pull the permit?
