Questions to Ask Before Paving Your Driveway

If you are looking to spend the money and time to repave your driveway, you’ll want it done right the first time. To choose the right contractor, you’ll have to do your research and ask some questions.  So if you are in the market for a paving company — here are the things you’ll want ask.

How long have you been in business? Reviews are vital when it comes to home services, but so is a company's history. A company with a long history is one that is more likely here to stay. This will allow for updates, and if there are any issues, you’ll know they’ll still be around to fix it.

Does The Estimate Include All Costs? No one wants to be slapped with hidden fees and extra cost. One of the best ways to avoid any of this is to ask right up front what the estimate includes. Beyond that, you should also read all contracts you are given especially the fine print.

Do You have examples of your work? Not only can this help you see quality but it’s a great way to get some ideas too. Seeing the variety and quality of work could be a deciding factor too, so there's nothing wrong with asking.

How long is the process? Having work done on your home should be an improvement, not an inconvenience. A right paver will make sure the job is done in a timely fashion that doesn’t disrupt your life for too long. So before you make a decision, make sure you get a general time frame.

What’s Your Better Business Bureau Rating (BBB)? Though you can look this up, you’ll still want to directly ask them as their response can show a lot about character. Most contractors will have a general idea, and asking them outright will allow you to check if their answer matches up. BBB is also a great resource to see what past customers have to say and how they handle any issues that may occur.
