What We Do
At Expert1, we don’t just show up—we serve.
Founded by a Canadian Forces veteran, we proudly support those who protect and serve our communities, including active and retired members of the military and emergency services. While we no longer wear the uniform, we bring the same values—discipline, integrity, and accountability—to every project.
Our team is our edge.
We’ve assembled a skilled, credentialed crew that’s trained to handle high-risk environments with precision and care. Our Service Experts include:
Certified IICRC Water and Mould Remediation Technicians
Certified Asbestos Abatement personnel (Levels 1, 2, and 3)
Journeyperson roofers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians
Project Management Professionals (PMP) trained through Royal Roads University and the Project Management Institute
We also maintain close partnerships with the top-rated labs in BC for all hazardous materials sampling, surveys, air quality testing, and equipment certifications. When safety’s on the line, we don’t cut corners—we raise the bar.
WorkSafe isn’t our baseline—it’s our starting point.
We strive to exceed WorkSafe BC compliance standards on every job. Because protecting our crew, our clients, and your property is not negotiable.
Every person on-site is qualified, vetted, and accountable.
Our trusted sub-trades carry full insurance, up-to-date certifications, and security background checks—ensuring we deliver not just quality workmanship, but peace of mind.
What sets us apart? Details.
Tight finishes. Clean job sites. Transparent communication. We believe excellence shows up in the little things—and those little things are what make us different than and better than the competition.
