Send the request. We dispatch a Verified contractor — credentials first.

Strata councils and managers, property managers, realtors, landlords with portfolios — one request for cleaning, painting, landscaping and property care. We assign a contractor who meets a written standard, keep every credential current, and reassign the same day if the first can’t attend.

The process

How a job runs

01

You tell us

One email — what, where, when. You needn’t know which trade it falls under.

02

We dispatch

A Verified contractor for that trade and area is assigned, and their compliance file reaches your inbox before they arrive.

03

We stay on it

Illness, a double booking, a second trade required — we reassign the same business day. You made one request.

04

They do the work

Their name on the invoice and on the certificate of insurance. Our name on the standard they met to be sent.

Four jobs, four reasons to call

The standard is the same for everyone. What sends you looking is not.

Strata council · managerThe list off the depreciation reportSmall deferred work nobody got to, all quoted at once, and the good trades stop answering. Most single jobs sit under the Strata Property Act s.98 threshold that needs an owners’ vote.
Property managerThe turnover that has to be ready ThursdayOne missed clean attaches to your name, not theirs. A backup the same day matters more than a better hourly rate.
Realtor · teamPre-listing work on a deadlinePaint, carpets, a clean and a handyman list, between the signing and the photos. One request, one invoice, no chasing four trades.
Landlord with a portfolioSmall jobs across scattered addressesToo small for a contract, too many to hold in your head. Send it and we dispatch; the compliance file arrives before they do.

The cleaner ghosted and the tenant moves in Thursday.

Sourcing trades isn’t the difficulty. Sourcing trades who respond the same day, attend when scheduled, and don’t leave you accounting to an owner for an unready suite — that is. A single missed turnover attaches to your name, not theirs.

01Answers today

Not Thursday. Not “sorry, missed this.”

02Attends when scheduled

The turnover date is the turnover date.

03A backup when they can’t

Unwell, booked out, unresponsive — the job proceeds regardless.

04One number for all of it

Cleaning, painting, gutters, handyman. No spreadsheet of trades to maintain.

The standard

Every vendor is a file you’re obliged to keep current. We hold the file.

A certificate of insurance approaching expiry. A WorkSafeBC clearance letter for each engagement. A business licence in every municipality your buildings occupy. A GST number on the invoice, or accounts payable returns it. Each contractor we dispatch meets all six, and the renewals are tracked on our side — a contractor is suspended from dispatch the day anything lapses. See a complete file, point by point →

01✓Registered with BC Registries
02✓Business-licensed in every municipality they work in
03✓WorkSafeBC clearance letter, current
04✓Certificate of insurance on file — $2M minimum
05✓GST registered
06✓Identity confirmed live on a call — never through a web form

On your desk this means: documentation before you request it, renewals watched by someone else, an invoice that passes the owner statement the first time, and a contractor licensed where the building actually stands.

Booking one job at home? Here’s what “verified” protects you from.

Every pro we send passed these seven checks, done by a person, and we re-check the file before every job we confirm — a licence or a certificate that lapsed last week takes them off the list until it’s renewed.

  1. Registered with BC Registries. A real business with a legal name, not a cash number. If something goes wrong, there is someone to hold to it.
  2. Licensed by your city. A business licence for the city the work is in (or the inter-municipal licence that covers it). Unlicensed work is a bylaw offence, and it is what a home insurer asks about first.
  3. WorkSafeBC clearance, current. If the pro or a helper is hurt at your house, WorkSafeBC covers it. Without clearance, the claim can land on the homeowner.
  4. $2 million liability insurance, on file. A cracked window, a flooded floor, a scratched car: their insurer pays, not you.
  5. GST registered. The invoice you get is a proper one, with a tax number, that you can use for a rental or a claim.
  6. Identity confirmed live on a call. We’ve seen the person behind the business — never through a web form, never stored.
  7. The trade credential, where one exists. Electrical and gas work need a Technical Safety BC contractor licence; we check the number in the registry before an electrician is confirmed. Trades without a provincial credential are told so, not dressed up.

What we don’t do: rate them with stars we made up, or name them before they’ve accepted your job. You get their name by text when they’re confirmed. Book a job, price first →

Why not engage trades directly?

You can, and most property managers do — right up to the day it fails. The difference, engagement by engagement:

Engaging trades directly
  • You maintain the list. A cleaner, a painter, a gutter contractor, a handyman — each a separate number, a separate relationship, a separate “are you available Thursday?”
  • You maintain the paperwork. You request the insurance certificate and the clearance letter. You notice when they expire — or you learn of it afterwards.
  • You absorb the no-show. They’re unwell, double-booked or unresponsive. You begin the ten calls again while the owner asks why the suite isn’t ready.
  • You vet by trial. The only way to learn whether a new trade is competent is to give them a building.
Through Prontco Verified
  • One address. Email us what, where and when. We determine the trade and the contractor.
  • The file is ours to keep. Every contractor on the list has met all six, and we track the renewals. Their compliance documents arrive before they do.
  • The no-show is our problem. If the assigned contractor cannot attend, we send the next one. You made one request; the job proceeds.
  • Vetted before you meet them. Nobody is dispatched to your building who has not been checked against the standard first.

Their name remains on the invoice and on the certificate of insurance — you are still engaging the contractor. Our name is on the standard they met to be sent, and on the phone when something goes wrong.

What we dispatch

Every trade a building needs, across Metro Vancouver. Where the list is thin for a trade or a city, we say so and recruit to it — the standard is the same for all of them.
