If you don’t live in the GTA – or just want to make sure you know what you’re getting into – here are our top tips for hiring a driveway contractor.
Credentials, Credentials, Credentials
Any company you trust to do major work on your property should be fully licensed, bonded and insured. Ask to see their health and safety credentials, as well; these independent credentialing organizations protect both the consumer and the contractor from danger or negligence.
Testimonials
Check out the company in question on sites like HomeStars, Houzz and the BBB to see what other clients are saying about them. You ideally want a long trail of satisfied customers – a company’s past work is the best indicator of their future performance.
First-Hand Evidence
A good driveway contractor will have addresses of driveways they’ve worked on in your immediate area. Go check them out for yourself! It’s worth the time and effort to drive by and check out the handiwork and final products. Driveways are fairly easy to check out without having to enter private property, so take advantage of that fact!
Experienced Crews
Working with a fast-setting material like asphalt requires precision work to be done both quickly and efficiently. A large, experienced crew is vital to making sure the job is done properly and not just quickly. You want your contractor’s crew to have years of experience paving driveways and working with asphalt or concrete – experience can make all the difference between a driveway that lasts 10 years and one that lasts 30.
