Questions to Ask a Paver Contractor Before You Say Yes
Five minutes of questions up front can spare you a lot of trouble later. Run through it with every company that quotes your pavers.
What should a paver contractor be able to show you?
Cleaning and sealing pavers means hoses, chemicals and a sprayer running beside your windows, shrubs and garage door. A company that does this for a living has its answers ready, and you should hear them before anyone unloads a truck. Not sure what to ask for? Call (904) 842-3269.
Insurance you can read
Ask for a current general liability certificate. If a spray drifts onto your car or a hose cracks a window, the company's insurer should be the one to deal with it.
The right license for the work
Ask which Florida license or county registration covers the job as quoted, and ask again if the quote includes leveling or relaying pavers.
A company you can reach
Look for a phone that gets answered, a business address in Northeast Florida and one named person who is accountable for your job.
The plan on paper
A written quote lists the area in square feet, the sealer by name, the finish and the total, so nothing is left to memory.
Does sealing pavers in Florida take a license?
That depends on what the job covers. Washing a surface and rolling on a coat is not the same trade as pulling pavers up and setting them again, so ask about licensing for any repair work in the plan. Businesses in Duval County also hold a local business tax receipt, so asking to see one is fair. For a number to compare against, get your free estimate.
You do not need to take anyone's word for it. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a public license lookup where you can search by name. For proof of insurance, have the agent for the company send the certificate to you directly. Questions before you pick? Call (904) 842-3269.
What does a dependable company do?
Plans around the forecast
Sealer wants dry weather before and after, so a careful crew checks the week ahead and phones you early if a day has to slide.
Names what goes on the pavers
You should hear the sealer brand, the finish and whether it will sit properly over any coat already there.
Looks first, then prices
The estimate comes after a walk around the whole area, including dips, sunken edges and spots where water stands.
Protects the yard
Ask how plants, screens and the pool stay covered while cleaner and sealer are in use.
