Have you decided to hire a local paving company for your personal property or business? If so, you may have several questions as you decide on the right one. Here are some standard questions to ask an asphalt paving company.

1. How Long Have You Been in Business?

When hiring a group of paving professionals, you'll want to ensure you receive assistance from an experienced and reputable business. Don't hesitate to ask how long they've provided their services. In addition to asking them how long they've been in business, you can further confirm how trustworthy they are by checking them out on a Better Business Bureau website.

2. Are You Certified?

Never hire an uncertified professional to work on your property. By receiving proof of their license, you'll feel confident knowing that they have received the proper training and safety procedures to operate in your state and local vicinity. After all, the last thing you want to do is step on or drive on pavement that isn't safe due to shoddy installation provided by an untrained and unlicensed contractor.

3. May I See References?

Always check the professional references a company has. Chatting with other clients about their experiences with a prospective paving service can give you insights into what you should expect from them. Knowing how well the contractor met the client's needs and how communicative they were will benefit your search. Plus, if the contractor can readily hand over some references, that's proof that they are proud of their track record and confident in their services.

4. What Are the Details of This Project?

Don't feel bad if you don't understand what goes into a typical paving project. Feel free to ask the contractor about what materials they use, how asphalt or concrete is used for the project, how long the project should take, and additional details about your project. According to our experts, asphalt driveways have a minimum depth of two inches, but five to six inches is an ideal depth for a new driveway. When it comes to staying informed about what services you're requesting, it's best to be specific with your questions.
