What to check when hiring scaffolders in the United States
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Contractor licensing in the US is set by each state (and sometimes the city or county). For electrical, plumbing, HVAC or any major build, confirm the trade is licensed on your state's licensing board before hiring. Unlicensed work where a license is required can void permits and insurance and leave you no recourse.
- Ask for a lien waiver as you pay each stage: in most US states an unpaid contractor or subcontractor can place a mechanic's lien on your home even if you already paid the main contractor, and a signed waiver is your protection.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a scaffolder
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Scaffolding is governed by OSHA safety rules in the US: confirm the crew works under a designated 'competent person,' and that the scaffold is rated and inspected for the height and load.
- Confirm general liability and, critically, workers' compensation: falls are a leading cause of serious injury.
- A permit may be required for scaffolding in the public right-of-way (a sidewalk): confirm who obtains it.
- Get the scope, duration, and the inspection/tag system in writing.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- No workers' compensation on a high-injury, height-based job.
- No designated 'competent person' and no daily inspection tags.
- Erects in the public way with no permit.
- No license or insurance, and cash-only.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Do you carry liability and workers' compensation insurance?
- Who is your OSHA 'competent person,' and how is the scaffold inspected?
- Is a sidewalk or right-of-way permit needed, and will you obtain it?
- How long is it up, and what is the rate?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy scaffolder?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A scaffolder backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend scaffolders for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Scaffolders are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a scaffolder?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the scaffolder, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
