Homeowners often have to deal with more than just repairs and upkeep on their actual homes.

There’s also yard work, roofing and pavement to consider.

And if you have a sidewalk or pavement on your property, you know it needs repairs and updates from time to time. Whether your pavement is cracked or the sidewalk is splitting up from underground roots, it’s important to keep an eye on these areas of your home.

Fortunately, there are paving companies out there who can help, especially if you live in the Durham region. Pavement Transformations prides itself on offering paving solutions for residential and commercial properties alike. But if you’re not in Durham or need to check out other pavement companies first, here are a few things you should consider before selecting a pavement company.

Check out their reviews

Just the same as when you’re making a big purchase for a household item, you want to find a company with good reviews. Take time to check out the pavement company’s reputation. You can check several places to find reviews about their work, including Google, Facebook, Yelp and more. This will give you a clear idea of how the company works, what kind of services they provide regularly, and any issues that may have come up during their work. Keep in mind some reviewers may have unrealistic expectations, but most offer honest and transparent reviews about their experience.

Ask for detailed cost information

You wouldn’t hire a plumber to fix your sink without getting an in-depth quote about their pricing, would you? It’s absolutely acceptable for you to ask a pavement company about their services and costs. Make sure to ask if there is any cost for cleanup or disposal of garbage, and ask what their stance may be on damage to property. While most companies provide detailed quotes, some may require you to ask a few more clarifying questions to get the full picture.

Learn about the equipment they use

A handyman is only as good as his experience and his tools. So it’s important to find out what kind of tools your pavement company plans on using for your pavement repair or replacement. Ask them how new their equipment is, what equipment they plan to use and how they plan to use them. This will give you a good idea about how updated their tools are and their skill level in using them.

Pavement repair, replacement and installation can sometimes feel like a tedious process, especially if you have to get quotes from multiple pavement companies. However, if you work with top-of-the-line businesses that have lots of experience and high-quality tools, you’ll be glad for your long-term investment.
