Whether your property needs a new driveway, your business complex roads require repaving, or you have another project calling for an asphalt contractor, it’s important to be picky before you hire. The right paving company features the qualities necessary to carry out timely, cost-effective work that improves the look and function of your residential or commercial property. Use these tips to get started.

How to Choose an Asphalt Contractor

1. License & Insurance

Any service company without licensing and insurance is not one to work with. Licensed asphalt contractors have been approved by the state to perform paving work and adhere to all state and county service guidelines. Insurance protects you from liability in the event of an on-site worker injury. It also prevents you from paying for any damage to your property that occurred during work hours.

2. Years of Industry Experience

Paving companies with years of experience have worked on hundreds if not thousands of projects similar to yours. Significant industry experience indicates high-quality work and reliability because area residents and business owners continue to hire the company for jobs. Additionally, seasoned paving companies typically enjoy great relationships with manufacturers and suppliers, which can lead to discounts that are passed on to you in the estimate.

3. Great Reviews

Reviews and testimonials give you a clear idea of what you can expect in regards to work and material quality, customer service, and punctuality. References from family and friends who have previously worked with the paving company also help you make your decision.

4. Warranties

Some paving companies provide warranties on labor while others offer material warranties. There are also contractors who provide both options. Find out the length of the warranty and what it covers before moving forward.

5. Competitive Pricing

The best paving companies keep up with their competitors’ prices to provide services that suit your budget. And while those who offer exceedingly low bids may seem attractive, they often use poor-quality materials and unlicensed contractors to keep their costs down.
