Credentials

Licensed. Bonded. Insured. WSIB covered.

Every crew. Every job. Every day. Current certificates of insurance and WSIB clearance letters available on request for commercial clients, property managers, and institutional work.

The short version

What credentials we carry and why it matters to you.

North Bay Painting Services carries commercial general liability insurance, surety bonding, and WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario) clearance on every job. Our credentials protect you as the property owner: if one of our crew members is injured on your property, WSIB covers them - never your homeowner's policy. If our crew damages your floors, your walls, or your neighbour's car, liability insurance covers the repair. We issue certificates of insurance to commercial clients, property managers, and institutional clients free of charge, typically within 24 to 48 hours of the request. Current certificates are also available to any homeowner before we break ground on the job. Learn more about our 1-year written warranty or meet Ahmed Khalil, our owner.

Commercial Liability Bonded WSIB Covered Ontario Certificate of Insurance Additional Insured
Our credentials

Three things every reputable contractor should carry.

And three things every client should ask to see before hiring anyone.

Commercial General Liability

Current and active

Covers property damage and third-party injury arising from our painting operations. Additional-insured endorsements available for property managers and commercial clients on request.

Surety Bond

Current and active

Performance bond available on commercial and institutional projects that require it. Bond issued by our surety provider and faxed or emailed directly to the project client on request.

WSIB Clearance

Current and active

We carry WSIB coverage on every worker on every site in Ontario. Clearance letters issued directly from WSIB to any client who requests one - no cost, no delay. This is non-negotiable for commercial work.

Why this matters if we're painting your property.

When you hire a painter who isn't insured or WSIB-covered, the risk quietly shifts onto you. Your homeowner's policy becomes the fallback if someone is hurt. Your own liability exposure grows if the painter damages a neighbour's property. And in commercial or institutional work, an uninsured trade on site can void your own coverage.

We carry these three credentials because:

For property managers and commercial clients, we're set up to issue certificates of insurance with additional-insured endorsements in 24 to 48 hours. For homeowners, current copies are available on the first site visit if you want them.

Questions

Insurance and WSIB, answered.

Is North Bay Painting Services insured and WSIB covered?

Yes. North Bay Painting Services carries commercial general liability insurance, surety bonding, and WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario) clearance on every painting job. Current certificates of insurance and WSIB clearance letters are available on request for commercial clients, property managers, institutional clients, and any homeowner who wants to verify before signing.

How do I get a certificate of insurance for my commercial painting project?

Call (705) 482-1142 or email us with the name of the entity that needs to be added as a certificate holder and the project address. Most commercial, institutional, and property-management clients are added as additional insured on the certificate. Turnaround is typically 24 to 48 hours. We issue certificates at no charge to the client, and the certificate is valid for the duration of the policy term.

Is North Bay Painting Services WSIB covered?

Yes. North Bay Painting Services maintains active WSIB clearance with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario for every painter on every job. WSIB coverage protects you, the property owner, from any liability if a worker is injured on your site. We can pull a current WSIB clearance certificate directly from the WSIB online portal and send it to you within minutes of a request. Property managers, schools, municipalities, and any homeowner who wants to verify before signing can ask for it at any time.

What insurance coverage does the company carry?

We carry commercial general liability insurance with a coverage limit suitable for residential, commercial, and institutional painting work in Ontario, plus a surety bond. The liability policy covers third-party property damage and bodily injury that could occur during a painting project. The surety bond gives institutional clients (schools, municipal, long-term care) the protection they need to issue us a contract without taking on counterparty risk. Specific limits and policy details are listed on the certificate of insurance, available on request.

Can I see proof of insurance before work begins?

Yes, and we encourage it. For homeowners, we can bring a printed copy of the certificate of insurance and the WSIB clearance letter to the first site visit, or email both before you sign. For commercial clients and property managers, we issue a formal certificate of insurance with your entity named as additional insured, typically within 24 to 48 hours of the request. There is no charge for this and no obligation to move forward with the project after you receive the documents.
