Questions to ask before you hire

Walking in with these makes a big difference. Save the list, ask them all, and watch how comfortable they are answering.

1. 1
   Can I see your WCB and liability insurance, dated this year?

   A pro carries both and shows them on request.
2. 2
   How long have you been doing this trade specifically, not contracting generally?

   You want trade-time, not management years.
3. 3
   Will you pull a permit for this scope, or does code allow you to skip one?

   Either is fine. Hiding the question is not.
4. 4
   Who specifically will be on site each day, and are they your employees or subcontractors?

   Affects accountability if something goes wrong.
5. 5
   Have you done this exact scope on a Calgary home of this age before?

   1970s-bungalow plumbing is not 2010 infill plumbing.
6. 6
   What is your warranty, in writing, and what voids it?

   A real warranty has terms. "We stand behind our work" is not a warranty.
7. 7
   Can you give me two Calgary references from work completed in the last 6 months?

   Recent references catch tradespeople who used to be good.
8. 8
   What is the total all-in cost, and what specifically triggers a change order?

   A trade who lists triggers up front is unusually honest. Hire them.
