Looking to get a new driveway or parking lot put in? Maybe you're finally tired of those potholes or that cracked-up surface. Good on you for wanting to get it done right. But before you just pick the first name you see, you need to know how to hire a good asphalt contractor. There are plenty of folks out there who'll take your money and leave you with a mess.
I've been doing this for years here in Canby, and I've seen it all. Here's what you need to know to make sure you're getting a quality job from a legitimate company.
Questions to Ask Any Asphalt Contractor
When someone comes out to give you an estimate, don't be shy. Ask these questions. A good contractor won't mind; they'll appreciate that you're doing your homework.
- How long have you been in business under this name? This isn't just about experience; it's about stability. A company that's been around for a while is more likely to stand behind their work.
- Can you provide local references? Ask for two or three recent jobs, ideally similar to yours. Call them! Ask if the contractor showed up on time, stayed on budget, and if they'd hire them again.
- What's your process for this specific job? Don't just let them say
