What to Confirm With a Paver Contractor First
A few direct questions up front can spare you a costly redo. Use this list with any company on your shortlist.
Four items to ask any contractor to show you
Spraying chemicals and washing at high pressure beside your house is not something to hand to a stranger. A reliable company can put these four things in front of you without fuss. Stuck on what to ask? Call (904) 736-4863.
Insurance in force today
Ask for a certificate of general liability coverage, so damage to a window, a vehicle or a screen enclosure is not yours to pay for.
The right paperwork for the job
Ask which Florida license or county registration applies to the exact work, whether that is washing, sealing or repairs.
A business you can reach
Look for a working phone number, a service area that includes Clay County and one named person who answers for the job.
A price on paper
Ask for the square footage, the sealer and the steps in writing before anyone starts a pressure washer.
Does a paver sealing contractor need a license in Florida?
It depends on the work. Washing and sealing are treated differently from lifting and relaying pavers, and most Florida businesses also need a local business tax receipt where they operate. If your plan includes leveling or replacing pavers, ask which license covers it. For help thinking it through, ask for a free estimate.
Nobody has to take a company's word for it. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a free license search. For insurance, a certificate sent straight from the contractor's agent is more reliable than a photocopy handed over in the driveway. Questions before you decide? Call (904) 736-4863.
What sets a dependable contractor apart?
They read the forecast
Unilock asks for clear skies for 24 to 48 hours around sealing, so a dependable contractor tells you early when weather moves the date.
They name the product
They can say which sealer goes on your pavers, why they picked it and whether it works over any coat already there.
They look before they quote
They check for sunken spots, flaking old sealer and puddles that do not drain before putting a number on paper.
They say what happens if it goes wrong
Ask what they would do about a cloudy patch or a peeling edge. A clear answer ahead of time is a good sign.
