Verdict
Wescor Contracting is a verified real Victoria contractor (30+ years, wescor.ca reachable), but the posting routes applications to a free consumer address (wescorcontracting982@gmail.com) instead of the company's published admin@wescor.ca, so the link between posting and verified company is unconfirmed. This is the classic pattern of a possible impersonation of a legitimate business, though the detailed trade-specific duties and market-rate wage temper the risk to medium.
