What to check when hiring scaffolders 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 scaffolder
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
- Scaffold erection is high-risk, fall-hazard work governed by provincial OHS regulations (and a designated Scaffolder trade in some provinces): the priority is a current workers' compensation clearance (WSIB/WorkSafeBC/WCB) and liability insurance.
- Confirm the scaffold will be erected, inspected and tagged by competent workers to the OHS standard, with guardrails and a safe access.
- Get a written scope: the structure, duration, load rating, and who inspects it during the hire.
- Check that the scaffold suits the building and the work it supports.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- No proof of WCB coverage or liability insurance for high-risk work: you don't want liability for a fall.
- Scaffold with no guardrails, missing ties, or no inspection tag.
- Vague on load rating or who inspects it during the job.
- Large cash deposit with no written scope.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Can I see your liability insurance and current WCB/WSIB clearance?
- Will the scaffold be inspected and tagged to the OHS standard?
- What's the load rating, and who re-inspects it during the hire?
- What's the duration and the all-in price?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy scaffolder?
- 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 scaffolder backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend scaffolders for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Scaffolders 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 scaffolder?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the scaffolder, 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.
