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.

1. Make sure your contractor has its proper licenses.
2. Ask the contractor for references and check with those references.
3. Look for contractors who offer a warranty with their work and get that warranty in writing.
4. Ask to see the contractor’s certificate of insurance.
5. 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.
6. Always get the contract for the work in writing.
