Questions to Ask Before a Paver Contractor Starts Work
A few minutes of checking can save money and stress. Go through this list with every company that bids on your pavers.
What should a paver contractor be able to show?
Paver work can take a day or more, with hoses, cleaners and sealer near your windows, plants and screens. You are entitled to know who is on your property, and a solid company keeps these answers ready. Not sure what you are hearing? Call (904) 541-9975.
Insurance that is current
Ask for a general liability certificate dated this year, so a problem during the job is handled by the company's insurer and not your homeowner policy.
A license where one applies
Ask which Florida license or local registration covers the exact work in the plan, particularly if repairs are included.
A company you can reach
Look for a working phone number, regular work in Duval County and one named person who answers for your job.
Details on paper
Get the price, the steps and the sealer name in writing before equipment comes off the truck.
Does paver work in Jacksonville Beach need a license or tax receipt?
That depends on the job. Washing and sealing are different from lifting and relaying pavers, so ask about licensing for any repair or new paver work. The City of Jacksonville Beach says its Local Business Tax applies to any person who maintains a permanent business or branch office within the city, and its page lists a Florida professional license among the documents when one applies. To get a price for your pavers, book a free estimate.
The same city page points to the Duval County Tax Collector for the county receipt. You can check a license yourself in the Florida DBPR license search, which looks up a name, a license number, a city or county, or a license type. To check insurance, have the insurance agent mail or email the certificate to you directly. Questions before you choose? Call (904) 541-9975.
How do you spot a dependable paver contractor?
They watch the weather
Sealer needs a dry surface, so a careful company checks the forecast days ahead and calls early if a date has to move.
They name the product
They can say which sealer and finish they plan to use and whether it suits any coat already on your pavers.
They look before quoting
They walk the entire area and point out low spots, peeling sealer and standing water before giving a final number.
They plan for sand and salt
They explain how beach sand comes out of the joints and how salt haze gets cleaned before any sealer goes on.
