Getting an area paved is not a matter to be taken lightly. It is time-consuming and costly, so you more than likely want to get the most bang for your buck. This guide will help you decide which questions to ask when consulting with a new paving company. Keep reading to find out more.
Credentials
Getting a grasp of a company’s credentials is essential whenever you are dealing with a service company, and paving is no different. The first part of getting their credentials is finding out how long they have been in business. A paving company with years of experience under its belt is probably your best bet. This way you can guarantee that the paving is done in a timely and cost-efficient manner. After all, no company will stay in business if its prices are too high or they take too long to finish a job.
If you want further proof that the company you are considering employing is good at what they do, you can ask for the contact info of other businesses or homes they have paved for. Talking to these customers can help you ascertain whether what the paving company is telling you checks out. If you find out that they told other customers conflicting info, or lied about the quality of the work, you can dodge a serious bullet. If a company refuses to provide references, it may be a sign that they don’t take pride in the work they do.
Additional Services
Although you are most likely just looking for asphalt installation or repairs, it doesn’t hurt to ask if they offer additional services like concrete or pavers. A paving company that has experience with a lot of different paving jobs can best help you decide which kind of surfacing is right for your project. The availability of, and experience with, other materials also means they are well equipped to handle any kind of project you are dreaming up.
When consulting with a pavement company, asking which elements of a paving project they find most important is a great question. Any knowledgeable and experienced paver will be able to tell you their opinion with no hesitation. This also gives you the opportunity to let them know what your specifications are for the project so you can get the working of a plan started right away.
