RenovationFind vs TrustedPros

Canadian directory of renovation contractors that RenovationFind certifies after background, licence, insurance and workers' comp checks

RenovationFind is a directory of home renovation and building companies in Canadian cities, such as Calgary, that it lists as RenovationFind Certified. RenovationFind says certified companies pass legal and credit background checks and are checked for a business licence, insurance and WCB or WSIB coverage. It grades certified companies with its own rating of A-, A or A+, where BBB accreditation counts toward the higher grades.

Pros

• + Certification checks background, business licence, insurance and WCB or WSIB coverage
• + Listings organized by Canadian province and city
• + RenovationFind publishes the criteria behind its A-, A and A+ grades

Cons

• − Contractor fees and membership terms were not found in any source we could read
• − The A-, A and A+ grades are RenovationFind's own rating, not a BBB rating
• − Certification asks for a proven service record, so new businesses may not qualify

Toronto contractor directory and referral service, in business since 2004 and separate from Angi's HomeStars

TrustedPros is a Canadian contractor directory and referral service run by TrustedPros Inc of Toronto, which its BBB profile says started in 2004. It is not among the home services businesses that Angi Inc. lists in its 2025 annual report, which name HomeStars as Angi's Canadian marketplace. TrustedPros' website blocks automated reads, so its current services and prices were not confirmed this run.

Pros

• + Canadian operator based in Toronto, in business since 2004 according to its BBB profile
• + Separate from Angi Inc., which owns HomeStars and HomeAdvisor
• + No BBB complaints closed in the last three years (checked 30 September 2026)

Cons

• − Not BBB accredited
• − Current membership prices could not be confirmed because its site blocks automated reads
• − Little recent news coverage: the latest press release we found dates from 2017
