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.
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
- Do masons in Alberta need a license?
- Bricklaying is a voluntary Red Seal trade in Alberta — certification isn't legally required but is a strong skill signal. For chimney work and structural repairs, hire a Red Seal mason or a contractor with documented mason on staff.
- Brick veneer vs full brick wall?
- Most modern homes in St. Albert, AB 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 Alberta require a contractor to pull the permit?
- Alberta municipalities universally require the licensed contractor to pull building, gas, plumbing, and electrical permits. masons approved on WiseTrades pull permits as part of normal scope and pass the cost transparently in the quote. Always confirm the permit number before final payment.
