Vetting a Paver Contractor Before You Hire
Five minutes of checking can save a lot of money and stress. Go through this list with any company that quotes your pavers.
What should a paver contractor be able to show you?
A crew can spend a day or two at your home, with hoses, cleaners and sprayers close to your plants, siding and screens. It is fair to know who is on your property before work begins, and a solid company has these answers on hand. Need help sorting through them? Call (904) 299-8891.
Current liability insurance
Ask for a certificate of general liability coverage, so damage during the job is handled by the company's insurer and not your own policy.
A license that fits the work
Find out which Florida license or local registration covers the exact work planned, particularly when repairs are included.
A business you can reach
Look for a working phone number, steady work in your part of Northeast Florida and one person who answers for your job.
A price on paper
Before equipment comes off the truck, get the price, the steps and the product names written down.
Does paver work in Florida need a license?
It depends on what the job includes. Washing and sealing differ from lifting and relaying pavers, so check the licensing for any repair or new paver work in your plan. Florida businesses also generally carry a local business tax receipt where they operate. For a look at what your pavers might cost, ask for a free estimate.
You can check all of it yourself. Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation keeps a public license lookup where a company can be found by name or license number. For proof of insurance, request a certificate from the company's agent. Questions before you choose? Call (904) 299-8891.
How can you tell a paver contractor is dependable?
They watch the forecast
Sealer needs dry weather, so a careful company checks the sky days ahead and calls you early if a date has to move.
They name the product
They name the sealer brand, the finish and whether it can go over the coat already there.
They look before quoting
They survey the whole space and flag low spots, peeling sealer and pooled water before quoting.
They protect what is nearby
They explain how they keep cleaners and overspray off your plants, screens, car and pool.
