When a contractor is given a deposit to purchase material that is the intent.

There is a payment schedule in the building/renovation contract that ensures the control of payment to the contractor by Canbrella for the material and future labour costs.

It protects you completely from all types of liability. The most important is the WSIB coverage (Workplace Safety Insurance Board) this coverage protects the employer (which is you) from any liability pertaining to any injury or death sustained on your construction site. Liability insurance re: Builder/Renovator is required if his/her business is found legally responsible for injuries caused to another person or damage to your property. Automobile insurance is also required when an independent contractor working for you, is on your property. Canbrella ensures that liability insurance is up to date.

Those who hire contractors without confirming they have a valid clearance number also face serious fines and penalties
