Vetting a Paver Contractor Before the Work Begins
Spend ten minutes on these checks before you agree to anything. They apply to every company, whoever it is.
Four items worth requesting first
Expect a crew at your home for a day or two, with hoses, cleaners and sprayers working beside the garage, the lanai and maybe the lake. Knowing who they are is only sensible. A reliable company can produce each of these without fuss. Stuck on one? Call (386) 614-8898.
Proof of liability insurance
Request a certificate showing general liability coverage in force today. That way a mishap on the job lands on their insurer and not on your budget.
The correct license
Ask which Florida license or local registration covers the exact work in your plan, and ask to see it.
Someone reachable
You want a working phone number, jobs done in Putnam County or nearby and a named person who answers for the result.
A written quote
The price, the steps and the products should all appear on paper before any pressure washer starts.
Does a paver contractor need a license in Florida?
The answer follows the work. Washing and sealing is one kind of job, and lifting and relaying pavers is another, so ask about licensing whenever repairs or new paving are in the plan. Businesses also usually carry a local business tax receipt where they operate, and a contractor can say which one covers yours. Want a ballpark before you call around? Request a free estimate.
Checking is quick. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation offers a free license lookup that searches by name or license number. For insurance, a certificate sent straight from the company's agent beats a photocopy shown at your door. Questions before you pick anyone? Phone (386) 614-8898.
What marks a dependable paver contractor?
Weather comes first
Unilock asks for clear skies 24 to 48 hours before sealing and up to 48 hours of dry weather after. A dependable contractor watches the sky and warns you early if the date must slide.
They name the sealer
Expect a brand, a type and a straight answer on whether it suits whatever coat is already on your pavers.
Inspection precedes price
They walk the full surface, pointing out low spots, failed sealer and puddles before settling on a number.
They plan for problems
Ask what happens if a patch dries cloudy or begins to peel. A calm, specific answer is a good sign.
