What to check when hiring driveway / paving contractors in Canada

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

  • Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
  • A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
  • Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
  • Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
  • Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.

How to judge a driveway / paving contractor

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Grading, drainage and widening a driveway (and any new curb cut/boulevard work) often need a municipal permit or approval: confirm the contractor checks and arranges it.
  • The base is everything: ask about excavation depth, granular base and compaction, because freeze-thaw destroys asphalt or pavers laid on a thin or unprepared base.
  • Get a written scope and a local fixed address: driveway 'leftover asphalt' door-knocking is a classic scam.
  • Check liability insurance and a current workers' compensation clearance (WSIB/WorkSafeBC/WCB).

Warning signs of a rogue contractor

  • Door-knocks offering a cheap drive with 'asphalt left over from a nearby job' and no local address.
  • Pavers or asphalt over a thin, uncompacted base, or no plan for drainage and grading.
  • Demands cash or a large up-front deposit, with a price only good 'today'.
  • No proof of insurance or WCB coverage, and no written quote.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Does any grading, widening or curb cut need a municipal permit?
  • How deep will you excavate, and what base will you compact?
  • Can I have a written quote and your local business address?
  • Do you carry liability insurance and a current WCB/WSIB clearance?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy driveway / paving contractor?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A driveway / paving contractor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend driveway / paving contractors for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Driveway / paving contractors are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a driveway / paving contractor?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the driveway / paving contractor, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
