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.
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 painter across Coquitlam, BC
- Lock the materials specification before signing the quote — substitutions during the job invariably trade-up in the contractor's favour, not the homeowner's.
- Confirm permit-pulling responsibility in writing: Coquitlam bylaws expect the contractor to file, but quote-text can quietly shift the duty onto the homeowner.
- Set a documented punch-list deadline post-handover; vague "we'll come back to fix that" promises evaporate once final payment clears.
