Hiring a Paver Contractor Who Is Insured and Reliable
Check these items before anyone starts on your pavers. Each one protects you and your home.
What should a contractor show you first?
The person you hire will work a few feet from your front door. A good contractor expects these questions and has the answers ready. Ask them all before you agree to a date. Need help with any of them? Call (904) 694-6107.
Insurance paperwork
Request a current general liability certificate. If something goes wrong at your home, you want coverage already in place.
The right license
Find out which state license or local registration covers the work they plan to do at your home.
A business you can reach
You want a phone that gets answered, a company that works near you and one person in charge of your job.
A price on paper
Before the sprayer comes out, get the full price and a list of what it covers in writing.
Does a paver sealing contractor need a Florida license?
It depends on the job. Washing and sealing pavers can fall under different rules than laying or rebuilding them. Does your project include repairs or new pavers? Ask which license applies. St. Johns County also requires a local business tax receipt from anyone doing business in the county, and the county Tax Collector issues it. To talk through your project, request a quote.
You can check this yourself. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs an online license search where you can look up a name or a license number. For insurance, ask for a certificate that comes straight from the contractor's agent. Ready to begin? Call (904) 694-6107.
How can you tell a contractor will be reliable?
Schedule updates
Rain can push paver work back a day or more. A reliable contractor calls you early when the forecast changes.
A clear answer on sealer
Ask which product they plan to use and why. They should also know how it will react with any coating already down.
A walk around the site
Before the final number, they check for low spots, old sealer and places where water collects.
A plan for problems
Find out now what they will do if the finish goes cloudy or starts to flake.
