Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Vancity did a great job installing a fan on a ceiling with no previous overhead light fixture. They were easy to deal with, gave us a fast and reasonable quote, and provided excellent customer service from the initial quote to the completion of the job. I would hire them again!”

Excellent service!
First they installed an unlicended outlet which the city inspector didnt approve. Now they have to come back and fix that and, in the process, mess up my already finished walls. Then they dont show up when they promise to. Customer service this is not and l wont use them again. If you decide to use them - make sure you get a hold back so at you are not out of pocket when they screw-up.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
