Built on Experience. Focused on Quality.

Alberta Trusted Trades may be a newer name in Calgary, but the experience behind the business goes back more than 20 years.

I'm Joseph Drapper, and I started Alberta Trusted Trades to provide homeowners and businesses with professional painting, finishing, repair and property improvement services where proper preparation and attention to detail come first.

My background in the construction industry began in 2000, working across painting and decorating, property maintenance and general construction. Over the years, I've progressed from hands-on trade work into foreman and senior site management positions, while continuing to build practical experience across residential and commercial projects.

More Than Just Painting

My experience includes:

  • Interior and exterior painting and decorating

  • Professional surface preparation, patching, sanding, caulking and priming

  • Spray, roller and brush-applied finishes

  • Drywall and surface repairs

  • Woodwork, doors, trim and detailed finishing

  • Stucco restoration and repair

  • Concrete and surface repairs

  • Epoxy floor coatings

  • Waterproof and moisture-resistant coatings

  • Sealants and protective impregnation systems

  • Exterior property maintenance and repairs

  • Roofing, flashing, drainage and eavestrough repairs

  • Residential and commercial renovation work

I've also worked extensively with specialist protective coatings, including mechanically sprayed impermeable coatings, damp and moisture protection systems and industrial/commercial epoxy flooring.

Qualified & Experienced

My trade and construction background includes:

City & Guilds / CITB – Painting & Decorating
Intermediate Construction Award in Decorative Occupations

Dulux Select Decorator Certification

Guild of Master Craftsmen – Quality & Service Recognition

CSCS Gold Card – Supervisor

Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS)

Junior Foreman Certification

I also hold City & Guilds qualifications in Electrical Installation, Testing and Inspection, giving me a broader understanding of buildings and construction beyond decorating alone.

From Tradesman to Site Management

As my career progressed, I moved into foreman and senior site-management positions, supervising trades, coordinating projects, managing materials and ensuring work was completed safely, correctly, on schedule and to the required standard.

That experience influences how Alberta Trusted Trades operates today.

I understand that the quality of a finished job isn't simply about the final coat of paint. It's about preparation, using the correct products, protecting the customer's property, solving problems properly and paying attention to the details that aren't always immediately visible.

Why Alberta Trusted Trades?

I created Alberta Trusted Trades around three straightforward principles:

QUALITY. INTEGRITY. TRUST.

I want customers to know who they're dealing with, understand what work is being carried out and feel confident that their property is being treated with respect.

Whether it's refreshing a room, restoring an exterior, repairing damaged surfaces, applying specialist protective coatings or undertaking a larger renovation project, the objective is the same:

Do the preparation properly. Use the right materials. Take pride in the finish. Build it to last.
