Do you have pot holes or cracks in your parking lot or drive-way? Then consider Asphalt Patching as a way to repair your area and restore functionality. Before you get this done, it’s a good idea to find the right contractor. This will take a bit of time and research. Use the following guidelines for this task.
If you have not worked with an asphalt contractor before, it’s a good idea to talk to people you trust for referrals. When you get these referrals, ask about the quality of work each contractor delivered. Be specific with your questions so you can garner details that will help you decide on two candidates. Some typical queries to pose include:
- What method of Asphalt Patching did the asphalt contractor use?
- Did the contractor explain the process he used?
- Did the contractor give you options to this process?
- Was there a warranty on workmanship and materials?
Once you have chosen two candidates, further research each one. It’s advisable to work with a local company. If there is defective workmanship performed, it may be easier to get it fixed by a local contractor. Call each contractor and ask for the physical address of the company. At a later time, drive by this location to ensure that the company is actually at this location. As you talk to each contractor, ask them about these methods for repairing asphalt. Inquire about warranties. Also, ask each contractor if he is licensed and insured.
To check on the license of an asphalt contractor, visit the website of your state agency in charge of professional licensing. You may have to request this in writing or call the agency personally. For insurance, call the insurance agent/broker of each contractor to request a certificate of insurance. This document is not a copy of the insurance contract but contains some information in the contract to verify the existence of the contract.
