Why Choose Us

Licensed & Insured Painters in Toronto & the GTA

What "Fully Licensed & Insured" Actually Means for You

When you invite a painting contractor into your home, insurance isn't optional — it's the line between a professional and a liability. Cornerstone Pro Painting carries full general liability coverage and WSIB (Workplace Safety & Insurance Board) clearance on every job in Toronto and the GTA. You receive the certificate before a single drop sheet hits your floor.

Many painting companies operating in the GTA are unregistered sole operators with no coverage. If a worker is injured on your property, or accidental damage occurs, an uninsured contractor leaves you exposed. We eliminate that risk entirely — in writing, before we start.

Why Insurance & Licensing Actually Matter

You're Protected

If anything is accidentally damaged, our liability insurance covers it. No out-of-pocket costs, no disputes. Your home is safe in our hands.

Workers Are Covered

Our WSIB clearance means if a crew member is hurt on your property, you have zero exposure. That's not a small thing — it's a legal protection most homeowners don't know they need.

Certificate on Request

We provide the Certificate of Insurance before work begins. You don't have to ask twice — it's part of our standard process, not a reluctant concession.

No Hidden Contractors

We don't subcontract to uninsured labourers. Every person on your job is part of our crew and covered under our policy. Who we quote is who shows up.

How to Verify a Painter Is Properly Insured

Before hiring any painting contractor in Toronto, it takes about five minutes to confirm their coverage is real. Here's what to check — and what a legitimate contractor will have no hesitation providing.

  • 1
    Ask for the Certificate of Insurance. A legitimate insured painting contractor in Toronto provides it immediately — not "I'll send it later," not "don't worry about it." If there's any hesitation, that's your answer. The certificate names you as a certificate holder and shows the policy's effective and expiry dates.
  • 2
    Check WSIB clearance at wsib.ca using their business name or clearance number. The WSIB clearance certificate confirms that the employer's account is in good standing. Any registered painting business operating in Ontario should have this readily available.
  • 3
    Confirm the policy is current. Certificates show effective and expiration dates. A policy that expired last year offers no protection. Verify that the dates on the certificate cover the period your project runs, and ask if they can provide an updated certificate if the project extends beyond it.

Common Questions About
Licensed & Insured Painters in Toronto

Are all Toronto painters required to be insured?

Not legally required, but any reputable professional maintains general liability. Without it, your homeowner's insurance may be liable for accidents. Choosing an insured painting contractor in Toronto isn't just smart — it's the only reasonable option when you're inviting workers into your home.

What does your liability insurance cover?

Our policy covers accidental property damage during painting — walls, flooring, furniture, fixtures. We carry $2 million in general liability coverage. If we accidentally damage something, it goes through our insurance. You don't pay anything, and there's no uncomfortable back-and-forth about who's responsible.

What is WSIB and why does it matter?

The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board provides coverage for workers injured on the job. If a painter without WSIB clearance is hurt on your property, you as the homeowner can be held responsible for their medical costs and lost wages. Our WSIB clearance transfers that liability where it belongs — away from you entirely.

Can I see your certificate of insurance before we start?

Absolutely. We send the Certificate of Insurance before any work begins — no request required. It's part of our standard onboarding, and it names you as a certificate holder so you can confirm the coverage directly with our insurer if you'd like.

Do you use subcontractors?

On some larger projects we do work with subcontractors. Before any subcontractor sets foot on your property, we verify that they carry their own full insurance coverage — general liability and WSIB clearance, just like our own crew. We don't cut corners on that standard regardless of who is doing the work. You get the same protection either way.
