Perform some research

Taking the time to research any company or contractor you are considering hiring is well value your time.

Read online review

Take the time to read some reviews, both bad and good. If there are any negative reviews, consider whether or not the customer had a valid complaint. On the right reviews, consider the details and pay close attention to the things that matters most to you.

Ask for recommendations

Worth of mouth is still one of the excellent forms of advertising. Ask family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers for advice they can personally vouch for, as in the company they are recommending has performed a job for them. When a contractor of any type does a best job, customers cannot wait to tell others about the best experience they had.

Look at examples of their work

Check the online gallery of previous paving projects or ask for a list of locations then drive by to see the standard of work and how well the pavement is holding up over time.

Check credentials

A professional asphalt paving firm should be capable to provide documentations of the following:

Insurance

The contractor should also be insured in automotive, liability, and worker compensation. Ask for proof of insurance; don’t just take word of mouth.

License

As asphalt paving contractor should be licensed for every part of the job being performed and should be capable to give proof of license.

Certified technician

Each technician working for the contractor should be certified and trained to do the duties they are performing.

Experience

Pick a contractor with lots of experience in the field. Asphalt paving needs skill and knowledge that can only be obtained through years of parking lots, paving driveways, and roads. Experience has also taught an intelligent contractor what type of asphalt is the best for each objective so that you get a long lasting, quality driveway.

Customer support service

Last but not least, customer service is something that can be hard to get a feel for right away. Begin by paying attention to how the contractor answers the phone or email or how fast you get a response to an online inquiry. Look for professional behavior and expect an official written estimate of the cost of service that includes labor, material, and an expected start and completion date.  If you get a bad feeling at any point in the screening process, don’t hire them.
