When you need your sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots paved, it isn't something you can easily do yourself. In fact, it’s not recommended that you do any paving work yourself unless you’re a professional. If you need paving done, you need to call in local paving company. Here are a few things you should be looking for in a quality service.

Good Community Reputation

As with any type of service, you'll want to work with a paving company in your community that has built up a good reputation for themselves and their services. You should talk with others in your community to find out who they’ve used for paving work. There are likely past paving clients within your inner circle as according to the National Asphalt Paving Association, on roads in the United States, there are around 18 billion tons of asphalt pavement. Often, especially when it's family or friends, people are happy to discuss their experiences. Word-of-mouth advertising is still a strong way to learn about new companies and get the info you need to make well-informed decisions.

Wide Variety of Services

You’ll also want to look for a paving company that provides a variety of services. There are a lot of different types of paving jobs someone might need. For example, it'd be best if the paver you choose to install your pavement could also come to repair it should it crack. Not all paving companies will provide every service. You need to discuss this early on to make sure you connect with a company that can provide what services you want.

In the same vein, it's important to work with an experienced paving company. It's often experienced contractors who know not just how to install the pavement but how to maintain it and keep it looking new. Prioritize experience and workmanship over all else.

Fair and Transparent Pricing

You might need to do some research on your own in order to find out what fair pricing in your area is for paving work. In our experience, it’s recommended that you get at least three quotes before you decide on a company. This gives you the chance to compare some prices so that you get the best deal. Be sure to receive all estimates in writing.
