Most construction projects benefit from a professional concrete contractor. Whether it’s blacktop paving a driveway or using ready-mix concrete for the new building’s foundation, a paving company can assist throughout the entire construction process. Because their work is critical to the job, you must find the right contractor, and asking the following questions will help.

Questions to Ask Your Concrete Contractor

Are you licensed & insured?

Most companies have their license on display inside their office or online, but if you don’t see it, you should ask. These licenses ensure the quality of their work because it proves they adhere to government regulations. It’s the same with insurance. Reputable providers have an insurance policy that covers damages or injuries during construction, so you are not liable for legal fees and medical bills.

Do you have examples of previous work?

While word of mouth and online reviews are a fantastic way to start your search, never choose a concrete contractor until you’ve seen examples of past jobs. Any paving expert should provide examples of previous work either in a physical portfolio or online. That way, you can see the quality of work to expect on your project.

Do you offer different styles?

Many contractors specialize in one specific type of concrete pouring, and this limits the construction options. To design a project tailored to your aesthetic, find one who offers concrete pouring in different finishes like exposed aggregate or smooth sand finish, as well as different color choices.

Can you provide a schedule for the project?

Reliable contractors are in high demand, so you should understand their availability as well as how long the job will take. For the latter, the contractor should come to the site of the project to comprehend the project and any special finishes or styles you want. This provides a timetable to plan and prepare for the project.
