Every pro on ProveAPro has been vetted by hand: government ID, business registration, insurance, licensing where it applies, and two recent customer references. Free to use for homeowners.
Six checks, done by hand, before any listing goes live.
No paid-for badges. No automatic stars. Every tradesperson sits down with someone from ProveAPro and clears six checks before their listing goes live. It takes us about a week.
We meet the owner and confirm a current government-issued photo ID. So you're not dealing with just a name on a website.
Verified against the Nova Scotia Registry of Joint Stock Companies. So you know the legal name of who you're paying.
Current policy reviewed and the expiry recorded. So if something goes wrong on your property, the right people are on the hook.
Where the trade requires it (electricians, plumbers, gas fitters) we confirm the current licence. So the work meets code.
We call two recent customers and listen for the things that matter. So you're not the test job, you're the next one done well.
We check active complaints with the Better Business Bureau, Nova Scotia small-claims filings, and our own complaints queue. So a name that's quietly changed companies after problems can't slip through.
A point-in-time check, not a guarantee. ProveAPro is a directory. Your contract is with the tradesperson, not with us. Always confirm insurance and licensing are current before signing.
