About
A contractor marketplace built in Alberta, for Alberta properties
ALBA CONNECT connects property owners and managers with independent contractors who have been reviewed before they can quote. We do not perform the work ourselves, and we do not invent ratings or reviews to make the network look bigger than it is.
Why we started here
Alberta property owners deal with the same handful of problems every year: snow that arrives overnight, eavestroughs that clog before the first freeze, and small exterior repairs that are hard to schedule because good contractors are booked weeks out. Finding someone reliable usually means a neighbour's text message and a guess.
ALBA CONNECT replaces the guesswork with a documented process: an application with real documents, an administrator's review, scoped quotes you can compare side by side, and a payment record both sides can see. Commission is published per category, not hidden in a marked-up price.
Alberta wide
Requests are accepted across Alberta — the Edmonton and Calgary regions, central Alberta, the north and the south. Coverage per community depends on verified contractors in that area.
Seasonal by design
Snow and ice programs, spring cleanups and fall eavestrough work are built into the request flow, not bolted on.
Verification over volume
A contractor with an incomplete application cannot quote — even if that means fewer quotes on a job.
Commercial ready
Multi-site maintenance requests are handled as their own track with walkthrough-based proposals.
What we do not claim
- We do not guarantee workmanship, timelines or availability — contractors set their own schedules.
- We do not publish testimonials, completed-job counts or ratings that did not come from a real booking.
- We do not describe payment holds as escrow. Funds move through a payment processor under their terms.
- We are not a law firm, and our policies are drafts that need review by Alberta counsel before launch.
