One inflated quote costs more than 500 of these dossiers. Roofing bids in Halifax routinely differ by $3,000+. Establish the fair price before anyone quotes you.

Due diligence, done properly.

A proper contractor check means a weekend cross-referencing Google reviews, HomeStars, BBB records, and local pricing data. We do it for you — and re-verify everything weekly.

How a dossier is built

From "I need a roofer" to a confident shortlist — without the weekend of research.

1

Tell us about the job

Pick your trade, describe the project, add your town or postal code. Sixty seconds at checkout.

2

We compile the dossier

Current ratings, reviews, BBB records, and fair local pricing — verified against primary sources, then ranked into the three worth calling.

3

Hire with confidence

Your report lands in your inbox within 24 hours (usually much faster). Call the top three, compare quotes, and spot the outlier instantly.

Our only customer is you.

Review sites sell leads to contractors — the "top rated" badge often goes to whoever pays. TradeDossier takes $0 from contractors. No referral fees, no kickbacks, no advertising. If a contractor's record is poor, your dossier says so.

Questions homeowners ask

Do contractors pay to be in your reports?

No — and that's the whole point. Review sites sell leads to contractors, so "top rated" often means "top payer." We take $0 from the trades. If a contractor's record is bad, we say so.

How current is the information?

Ratings and reviews are verified the week your report is built, and every report shows its sources and verification date. We also show you exactly how to re-check a contractor's current standing before you sign anything.

How do I pay?

Secure checkout via Stripe — any major credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Your details go straight to Stripe; we never see or store them.

What if my trade isn't covered yet?

You get a full, automatic refund — and we'll email you when we add it.

Does this guarantee the contractor will be good?

No report can guarantee that, and we'd never claim it. What it does is stack the odds heavily in your favour: fair pricing, vetted options, unfiltered reviews, and the right questions — which is how you avoid the expensive mistakes.

Which areas do you cover?

Right now: Halifax Regional Municipality — Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, Cole Harbour and surrounding areas. Expanding across Nova Scotia next.
