Checking a Paver Contractor Before You Hire
A short list of questions can save you money and stress. Run through it with any company that bids on your pavers.
What should a paver contractor show you first?
A paver crew may spend a full day or more at your home, with hoses, cleaners and sprayers close to your siding, plants and screens. Knowing who they are before they start is reasonable, and a solid company has these answers ready. Need a hand sorting it out? Call (904) 467-7129.
Liability coverage in force
Ask for a general liability certificate that is current, so any damage during the job goes to the company's insurer instead of your own policy.
Licensing that fits the job
Ask which Florida license or local registration applies to the exact work planned, especially if repairs are part of it.
A business you can reach
Look for a working phone number, steady work in Duval County and one person responsible for your job.
A price on paper
Get the price, the steps and the product names in writing before any equipment comes off the truck.
Does paver work in Jacksonville need a license?
It depends on what the job includes. Washing and sealing are not the same as pulling up and relaying pavers, so ask about licensing for any repair or new paver work in your plan. The Duval County Tax Collector also says anyone doing business in Jacksonville and Duval County needs a Local Business Tax Receipt. To see what your own pavers might cost, ask for your free estimate.
You can confirm all of it yourself. Look a company up by name or license number in the license search run by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. For insurance, have the company's agent send the certificate straight to you. Questions before you choose? Call (904) 467-7129.
How can you tell a paver contractor is dependable?
They watch the forecast
Sealer needs dry pavers, so a careful company checks the weather days ahead and calls you early if a date has to move.
They name the product
They can tell you the sealer brand, the finish and whether it works with any coat already on your pavers.
They look before quoting
They walk the whole area and point out low spots, peeling sealer and standing water before giving a final price.
They protect what is nearby
They explain how they keep cleaners and overspray off your plants, screens, car and any pond behind the house.
