Questions to Ask a Paver Contractor Before Work Begins
Ten minutes of questions can save a lot of frustration. Ask each one of any company that bids on your pavers.
What should a paver contractor be able to show?
Sealing and washing mean hoses, cleaners and sprayers working next to your siding, shrubs and screen enclosure. Learning who is on your property before they start is fair, and a reliable company has ready answers. Want help sorting the replies? Call (904) 944-6930.
Current liability insurance
Ask for a certificate with dates you can read, so damage to a window or screen is covered by the company's policy and not yours.
A license that fits the work
Ask which state license or local registration applies to the jobs in your plan, and press the point when repairs are included.
A company you can reach
Look for a number that gets answered, a service area that includes Arlington and a named person who owns the job.
The price on paper
Get the square footage, the steps and the sealer by name written down before equipment comes off the truck.
How do I check a Florida contractor's license?
Start with the job itself. Washing and sealing are different from lifting and relaying pavers, so any repair or new paver work in your plan may fall under a different license. Ask the company, and ask whether it holds the local business tax receipt that its county or city requires. For a price on your pavers, ask for your free estimate.
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation lets you look up a licensee by name or license number in its license search. On insurance, have the agent who writes the policy send the certificate straight to you. Questions before you choose? Call (904) 944-6930.
What does a dependable paver company do?
It watches the sky
Sealer needs dry pavers, so a careful company checks the forecast days ahead and calls early when a date has to slide.
It names the product
It can tell you the brand, the finish and whether that sealer plays well with a coat already on your pavers.
It looks before it quotes
It walks the whole area, then points out low spots, peeling sealer and puddles before giving a final price.
It protects your yard
It explains how plants, screens, cars and the storm drain stay clear of cleaners and overspray, and it takes irrigation off first.
