Our story
Built to bring honesty back to home services
Local Skilled Trades started with a simple frustration: finding a reliable tradesperson in Canada felt like a gamble. We set out to build a directory where every listing is earned, every review is real, and every credential is verified.
Our mission
Every Canadian deserves a tradesperson they can trust
We exist because hiring a contractor should not require luck. Whether you are dealing with a burst pipe at midnight, planning a full kitchen renovation, or simply need an electrician to add a few outlets — you deserve clear information, honest reviews, and the confidence that the person walking into your home is who they say they are.
On the other side, skilled tradespeople work hard to build their reputation. We give them a platform to showcase their credentials, collect verified reviews, and reach customers who value quality over the cheapest bid.
What we stand for
Our values
Trust First
Every listing on our platform goes through a manual review. We verify business registrations, trade licences, and insurance certificates so you never have to wonder if a contractor is legitimate.
Real Reviews, Always
Our review system is moderated by real people. We flag suspicious patterns and remove fake testimonials — positive or negative — so the ratings you see reflect genuine customer experiences.
Transparency
Sponsored listings are always clearly labelled. Paying for a featured placement never influences a business's review score, verification badge, or search ranking beyond the designated sponsored slot.
Community
We believe in supporting Canadian small businesses. Tradespeople are the backbone of every community — from a family plumbing company in Moose Jaw to a roofing crew in Halifax.
