What is Baeumler Approved?
Our goal at Baeumler Approved is to help homeowners connect with contractors, trades, and home service providers from across Canada. We help homeowners know what to look for and vouch for a history of good service by speaking with previous clients and collaborators.
All Baeumler Approved members are required to make a commitment to honesty, integrity, and quality service by signing our code of conduct. If a member is found to have broken their commitment, they can be removed from our database.
