When you have a project that requires an asphalt contractor, choosing one to do the job can be tricky. There are several asphalt contractors to choose from and it can be stressful making a final decision. Instead of hiring the first contractor you find, it is important to do your research on a few contractors to determine which the best fit is for you. Narrow your options down to three to four and ask each contractor a series of questions to determine which asphalt contractor is best for your project.
So what questions should you ask?
- How many years of experience does your business have?-You don’t want to choose an asphalt contractor that is new to the industry. Inexperience could mean possible mistakes made during your project. If the business is new, find out how much experience the team has.
- What is included with each project? – If you fail to have written documentation about what is included, it can be hard to compare asphalt contractors. Talk with your potential contractors about what specifics will be included in your project and have the details written down as a reference.
- What references can you provide me with? – A great way to gain an understanding of the type of work the contractor is capable of, look at past projects performed. If the contractor is not willing to provide references, it could be a red flag of poor work or unhappy customers.
- What additional fees could occur during my project? – While you may have an understanding of what is included within your basic project, that price probably fails to include any hidden fees. Ask the contractor about what possible problems could occur with your project and how much the fees could run.
- Which material do you think is best for my project, concrete or asphalt? – It is important to discuss your project and potential materials with your contractor. You should consider budget, climate, and use to determine which material should be used for the project.
