So your driveway, parking lot, or other roadway has been beat up or worn to the point that it needs to be fixed and repaved. It’s definitely a project you can’t tackle on your own, so you need to find a contractor to do the job. How can you be sure you find the right one? Here are six easy tips.
- Make sure your contractor has its proper licenses.
- Ask the contractor for references and check with those references.
- Look for contractors who offer a warranty with their work and get that warranty in writing.
- Ask to see the contractor’s certificate of insurance.
- Do not pay more than one third of the cost in advance (which is typically illegal anyway) and avoid contractors who pay only in cash.
- Always get the contract for the work in writing.
