Now in Canada and the US

A directory of contractors we actually verified.

We check the license number with the issuing agency — Skilled Trades Ontario, RBQ in Quebec, Skilled Trades BC, the state board for US contractors — confirm the insurance is current, and run a background check on the owner. Then we list them. Pick a city below.

Free to search. No account needed. We don't sell your info to bidders.

License + insurance verified before listing
No per-lead fees. Ever.

License — checked at the source

We pull every license number from the issuing state board or RBQ ourselves. Not contractor-attested.

Insurance on file

Current general liability + workers-comp certificate stored with us, re-checked at policy renewal.

Owner background-checked

Multi-source: criminal record, BBB, and construction-related civil suits.

Re-verified yearly

And immediately if a license, insurance, or complaint signal fires.

How it works

Three steps. None of them involve us selling your phone number.

01

Pick your trade and city

Plumber in Toronto. Roofer in Calgary. HVAC in Montréal. We only return contractors we've verified — empty results when we haven't verified anyone yet, no padded list.

02

Read the actual verification

Each profile shows the license number, when we last confirmed it with the issuing agency, the insurance carrier, and review history. You can re-verify the license yourself — we link to every state board.

03

Call them directly

No routing through us. The number on the page is the contractor’s line. We don’t see who you called or what you said.

Why we exist

Lead-share platforms aren't scams. They're predatory by design.

The math

You request a quote on a typical lead-share platform. Your phone number gets sold to four or five contractors for $40$100per copy. They each call you within an hour, racing to close before the others. The contractor either eats that lead cost (and goes out of business) or prices it back into your quote. Either way, you pay for the platform's ad spend.

Then the platform ranks contractors by who paid most for placement, not by who's actually any good. So the top result might be the lead-buying machine with the worst reviews. That's the product.

What goes wrong

Several major lead-share platforms have faced regulator action over misleading homeowners, and most sit at low single-digit ratings on consumer review sites. The model is the problem — not any single company.

What we do instead

Verify the contractor before listing them. Charge the contractor a flat monthly subscription, not per lead. Show one direct phone number — not a routed bidding line. That's it.

Not perfect, just honestly aligned with you.

Reviews

We don't have homeowner reviews yet.

Provetly is new. Reviews appear here only after a homeowner hires through us and writes one. We won't pad this section with stock testimonials, AI-generated quotes, or reviews bought from a contractor.

What a real Provetly review will look like:

Verified review · written by a homeowner whose contact details we matched against the job they hired through Provetly.

Cross-checked against job record · cannot be paid for or seeded
