How to Pick a Dependable Paver Contractor
Before anyone touches your driveway, confirm a few things. This page lists them in the order most homeowners ask.
Four things to ask for before you agree to a job
Hiring someone to work at your house takes some trust, and a short list of documents builds it. Any contractor worth hiring can hand these over without fuss. If something on the list is missing, call (904) 560-7217 or book a free estimate and ask to hear from another company.
A certificate of insurance
Ask for a current general liability certificate. It covers damage to your property that is not your problem to pay for.
License or registration details
Ask which state license or local business registration applies to the work, and whether it is current.
A working phone and a real service area
A dependable company answers its phone, names the places it serves and has a person who stands behind the job.
A written price
Get the square footage, the steps and the total on paper before the first day of work.
What Florida expects from a sealing contractor
The rules depend on the work. Cleaning and sealing pavers are treated differently from laying or rebuilding them, and a business usually also needs a local business tax receipt where it operates. If your job includes relaying sunken pavers, ask which license covers that part. To talk through a job like that, book a free estimate.
Checking takes minutes. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a public license search, and an insurance agent can confirm a certificate by phone. To get started with a contractor, call (904) 560-7217.
Signs of a contractor you can count on
Rain plans come early
Sealer needs dry weather, so a good contractor tells you about a forecast change before the crew shows up, not after.
The product has a name
They can say which sealer they use, why it fits your pavers and how it sits over what is already there.
The walk-through comes first
They look for sunken pavers, old sealer and puddles before they give a final number.
Problems have an answer
They say plainly what happens if the finish clouds or the coat peels.
