For home-service pros
Carpentry leads in Canada
Carpentry requests name the project first: a deck, pergola or gazebo, cabinets or built-ins, closets and storage, stairs or railings, trim and finish work, or a shed. Homeowners then say whether it’s a repair, a replacement or a new build.

What a carpentry lead shows you
Every {lower} request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.
That’s enough to tell a railing repair from a new deck before you connect. Some of these projects need a building permit and some don’t, depending on the municipality; our provincial permit guides link to the official rules.

Licensing notes by province
These notes come from our provincial permit guides, which homeowners read before they hire. They summarize official sources and aren’t legal advice.
Alberta
A contracting business that negotiates or concludes a contract with you in person away from its place of business and takes money before all the work on your home is done needs a prepaid contracting licence.
Manitoba
Door-to-door home-improvement sellers must be licensed by the Consumer Protection Office. Ask to see the licence and check that it’s still valid.
Sources: Manitoba – Home improvements sold by direct sellers
Ontario
Renovating an existing home generally doesn’t require an HCRA builder licence: HCRA says renovations or upgrades typically don’t make a home “new”. Ontario advises checking references, WSIB coverage and trade certificates before you hire.
Sources: HCRA – Do you need a licence? · Ontario – Your rights when starting home renovations or repairs
Quebec
Anyone who does residential renovation work for you must hold an RBQ licence, and that licence must include the subclasses required for the work you are hiring them for.

Workers in the construction industry covered by Act R-20 need a CCQ competency certificate. The Act excludes maintenance, repair, renovation and alteration work done for an individual, on their own account and for strictly personal, non-profit purposes, on a dwelling they live in. The contractor still needs an RBQ licence.

Saskatchewan
Direct sellers of home-renovation products or services are limited in how much they can require you to pay before the cancellation period ends, and the contract must include a “Buyer’s Right to Cancel” statement.

How matching works
Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.
How we rank and match pros- You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
- Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
- Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
- When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
- Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.
Invalid leads and refunds
If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:
- The contact details are wrong or don't work.
- It duplicates a lead you already received.
- It isn't a real request for work.
- It's outside the services or areas you listed.
Verification you’ll need
Before you receive leads, you confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. Business registration, licence and insurance details are optional during sign-up; once our team checks them, your profile shows what was verified and when.
Contact details verified
You confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. This is required before you receive leads.
Business registration checked
Our team reviews the registration details you provide.
Licence and insurance checked
Where your trade calls for a licence or insurance, we review what you provide.
Verification shows which details were checked and when. It isn’t a guarantee of workmanship, and it can’t be bought.
Read how verification worksGetting set up for carpentry work
- Choose the carpentry services your shop is set up for, so requests match the work you want.
- Photos of your own decks, stairs and built-ins do more than a long description.
- If you build to drawings only, say so in your profile so homeowners know what to bring.
