Questions to Put to a Paver Contractor Before You Hire
A little checking up front keeps a paver job simple. Run through these points with anyone who wants to work on your property.
Four things to ask for
Letting a crew onto your driveway is a matter of trust. A dependable company will not mind being asked for any of the items below, and it is easier to ask before the work begins. If a question comes up, call (904) 664-0041.
A certificate of insurance
Ask for a current certificate that shows liability coverage, so a spill or a cracked window does not become your bill.
The right license or registration
Ask which state license or local registration applies to the work, then look it up yourself.
A person and a phone that answer
Look for a business that serves your part of the county and a named person who stands behind the job.
A written price
Get the scope, the square footage and the total on paper before anyone starts.
How to check a license in Florida
What a company needs depends on the work. Washing and sealing are not the same as lifting and relaying pavers, so if your job includes repairs, ask which license covers them. Do not guess. For help with your project, get a free estimate.
The state makes checking easy. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a license search by name, license number, city or county. An insurance certificate comes from the contractor's own agent, so ask for it by name. To get started, call (904) 664-0041.
