What to Ask a Paver Contractor Before Work Starts
A few questions can save you money and stress. Use this list with any company that bids on your pavers.
What should a paver contractor be able to show you?
A paver job can take a day or two, with hoses, cleaners and sprayers working close to your lawn, plants and pool cage. Knowing who is on your property is fair to ask, and a steady company has the answers ready. If you want help sorting them out, call (904) 621-4308.
Current liability insurance
Ask for a certificate of general liability insurance that is up to date. If something is damaged, the company's insurer should answer for it before your own policy does.
The right license for the job
Ask which license, if any, covers the exact work in your quote. This matters most when repairs, leveling or relaying pavers are part of the plan.
A business you can reach
Look for a working phone number, steady work in Duval County and one person who answers for your job.
A written price
Have the price, the steps and the products written down before any equipment leaves the truck.
How do you check a license and a business tax receipt?
Florida lets counties and cities charge a local business tax for the privilege of doing business inside their borders. Chapter 205 of the Florida Statutes sets that out. Ask the company which receipt it holds for the area where it works. To learn what your own surface might cost, request your free estimate.
You can check the rest on your own. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs an online license search that verifies a license and also offers an unlicensed activity search. For insurance, ask the company's agent to send the certificate straight to you. Questions before you choose? Call (904) 621-4308.
What makes a paver contractor dependable?
They watch the weather
Sealer needs dry weather, so a careful company checks the forecast and calls early if your date has to move.
They name the product
They can tell you the sealer, the finish and whether it will go over any coat already on your pavers.
They look before they quote
They walk the whole area and point out low spots, root lifts, old sealer and standing water before giving a final number.
They protect what is nearby
They explain how cleaner and overspray stay off your plants, pool, car and any water behind the house.
