What to check when hiring plasterers / drywallers 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 plasterer / drywaller

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

  • Plasterer and Lather (Interior Systems Mechanic) are Red Seal trades: useful for a large job, though drywall and plastering aren't compulsory-certified, so reviews and sample work matter most.
  • In homes built before the 1990s, drywall joint compound and textured (popcorn) ceilings can contain asbestos: ask how they'll test and contain dust before sanding or removing it.
  • Get a written scope: the level of drywall finish (taping/sanding), repairs, priming, and dust control.
  • Check liability insurance and a current workers' compensation clearance (WSIB/WorkSafeBC/WCB) for a crew.

Warning signs of a rogue contractor

  • Sands or rips out old ceilings/walls in a pre-1990s home with no plan for asbestos.
  • No dust containment, or a vague finish standard.
  • Large cash deposit up front or no written quote.
  • No proof of insurance or WCB coverage.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • My home is older: will you test for asbestos before disturbing old plaster or texture?
  • What drywall finish level and dust control will you use?
  • Do you carry liability insurance and a current WCB/WSIB clearance?
  • Can I see comparable recent work, and what's the warranty?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy plasterer / drywaller?
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 plasterer / drywaller backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend plasterers / drywallers for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Plasterers / drywallers 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 plasterer / drywaller?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the plasterer / drywaller, 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.
