Before You Choose A Contractor Consider The Following:

Get referrals from friends and family.
Get to know your contractor. How long have they been in the paving industry, how long have they owned their own business. Are they easily accessible by phone.
Get references and check them. Not all contractors work is of the same quality
Ask to see examples of a contractors work, not just newly installed jobs, but jobs that are a few years old.
Check with your local government/ Town Office to see if a permit is required.
Visit your local BBB website and check out contractor’s reputations. https://www.bbb.org/us/ny/
NYS Law Requires a Contractor to provide a written contract. Make you’re your contract/estimate includes written, detailed specifications, and compare it with your other estimates. (exp. Is asphalt depth before or after compaction, Are Materials State Approved)
Ask as many questions as you need to understand what you’re purchasing. A professional Contractor should be prepared and happy to provide you with answers.
Obtain proof of Liability and Workers Compensation Insurance. If you hire an uninsured contractor and an accident occurs, your homeowners insurance is responsible for damages or injuries.
Take the time to think over your options prior to making a final decision. Don’t let a contractor rush you into making a decision.
Trust your instincts. If you don’t feel comfortable and confident with a contractor keep looking.
Keep in mind that an economy price does not necessarily equal a quality job. A higher estimate could be attributed to the skill of the contractor and their employees and/or the use of better materials.
Never pay a contractor in full before completion of the work. Most Paving Contractors won’t ask for money upfront, although some may require a small amount as a deposit.
Never hire someone who knocks on your door. Experienced contractors rarely have large amounts of leftover material and will also provide you with written contracts.
Last but not least, If it sounds too good to be true…..Buyer Beware!
