There are several things to consider when you are choosing the
contractor to do any paving or other related services around your home
or business. It is very important to get written estimates from several
different contractors. You can usually find a list of contractors in
your area via the internet or a local phone book.
The contractors should come out and evaluate the overall site conditions, as well as take measurements, and get with you regarding any questions or concerns that they might have. The contractor should be able to provide you with a certificate of insurance for both general liability and worker's compensation coverage. This will help protect your property and assets in the event someone is injured while working on your property.
Your contractor should also be able to present you with a list of references from previous jobs completed. Finally, it is always a good idea to get an understanding of the materials that will be used for the project. This will help you make sure you are comparing "apples to apples" and getting exactly what you are paying for.
Once your contractor has been selected, it is now time to discuss the scheduling and the estimated time frame necessary to complete the job. Keep in mind that equipment will be used for your paving project. Therefore, you will need to make any and all preparations for temporary parking or a possible plan to re-route foot traffic to your home or business.
Lastly, make sure your contractor calls for a utility locate before any digging or excavation takes place. This will help to insure that no utility lines are cut and that service is not interrupted.
By taking these easy steps, your Asphalt Paving Contractor that you have chosen should be able to provide you with a good quality service.
