Independent contractor reports · Halifax

The $15,000 decision you shouldn't make from a Google search.

Most homeowners hire a contractor with a Google search and a guess — then find quotes thousands of dollars apart and reviews that were paid for. For $20, get an independent report on your project: what it should cost in Halifax, the three contractors worth calling, and the red flags that tell you when to walk away.

Sample TradeDossier contractor report
✓
Top pick, with reasoningEvery report names names — and shows its work

A real sample report. Yours names names, with the numbers to call.

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

Hiring a contractor shouldn't be a leap of faith.

The game is tilted: review sites sell leads to the contractors they rank, quotes for the same job differ by thousands, and nobody tells you what the work should actually cost. A $20 report tilts it back.

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?

Every report is built from our researched database of Halifax contractors — real ratings, real review excerpts (good and bad), and BBB records where available. Each fact carries its source and verification date, and we re-verify the data on a regular schedule. Every report also shows you how to re-check a contractor's current standing yourself 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.
