What to Confirm Before You Hire a Paver Contractor
A few questions up front can spare you an expensive redo. Run through this list with any company you are weighing.
Four papers worth asking for
Paver work means hoses, cleaners and sprayers beside your house for a day or two. Knowing who is holding them is only fair. A steady company has these ready to show. Need help sorting through them? Call (904) 842-3763.
Proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate showing liability coverage that is active this month, so an accident on your property lands on their policy.
License for the work
Ask which Florida license, if any, covers the exact work in your plan, from washing to resetting sunken pavers.
A real contact
Look for a working phone number, a person who answers for the job and a record of work around Nassau County.
A price in writing
Get the area, the steps and the products on paper before anyone starts a machine.
How do I check a contractor's license in Florida?
Start with the state's free license search, run by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. You can look up a company by name or license number, or browse by city, county or license type. If a company says no license applies, ask why, since washing and relaying pavers are different jobs. Want a price to compare first? ask for a free estimate online.
For insurance, a certificate sent straight from the company's agent is safer than a photocopy handed over in the driveway. Keep a copy with your quote. If you still have questions before you choose, call (904) 842-3763.
What do good paver contractors do before they start?
They talk about the weather
Sealer needs a dry surface, and a Northeast Florida company says sealing over wet pavers is a common reason jobs fail. A good contractor watches the forecast and warns you early.
They name the products
Expect the sealer brand, its type and its finish, plus what it does over any coat already down.
They explain the downtime
A paver sealing company with a Callahan address says to stay off for three days. Your contractor should say how long cars and feet stay off your surface.
They say what happens if it goes wrong
Ask what they would do if a section dries cloudy or begins to lift. A direct answer is a good sign.
