Licensing & insurance in Nova Scotia
Trades in Nova Scotia operate under the Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency and WCB Nova Scotia.
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 tiler across New Glasgow, NS
- Discuss communication cadence — weekly site updates, photo logs, or daily standup calls all work, but the cadence must be agreed before tools come out.
- Get the contract-cancellation clause read carefully: most provincial consumer-protection rules give a ten-day cooling-off, but custom-product orders cancel that window quickly.
- Confirm storage and access expectations — driveway, garage, side-yard staging arrangements should be on paper before delivery vehicles arrive across New Glasgow streets.

- Are tiler quotes on WiseTrades free?
