A capped category spot
No category has more than five members, so your profile is not buried under dozens of competitors.
Founding applications are open
Apply for one of five founding spots in your category.
Scoop Approved is for south Etobicoke contractors who already do careful work, communicate clearly and want to build a strong local reputation. Membership is annual and paid. Approval has to be earned first.
Read this before applying
You will need to clear the full standard.
- Provide an active trade licence where required. Electrical contractors must be ESA/ECRA licensed, with no exceptions.
- Provide current proof of commercial liability insurance.
- Share three recent customer references who are willing to speak with me.
- Show examples of your work and explain your estimating, change-order and cleanup practices.
- Complete a one-on-one interview with Bri.
Approval is ongoing. Lapsed insurance, unresolved complaints, bait-and-switch pricing or repeated no-shows can result in removal. Membership fees never change that decision.
Founding member benefits
Useful visibility, with accountability built in.
This is not a giant lead marketplace. It is a focused local membership designed to give good contractors room to be known from the beginning.
Newsletter features
Opportunities to be introduced to Etobicoke Scoop readers through useful, clearly identified member features.
Matched local leads
Relevant homeowner requests routed through Scoop, plus a monthly report showing the leads attributed to your membership.
The Scoop Approved badge
A badge for your own marketing that signals you cleared the same documented checks as every other member.
Pricing is deliberately not posted here. Annual membership pricing is shared clearly on the vetting call, after we confirm there is an open category spot and a potential fit.

Applying does not guarantee approval or reserve a category spot. I will review the basics first and contact strong-fit applicants about the next step.
