What to Check Before Paver Work Begins
A few plain questions, asked before anyone unloads a truck, tell you most of what you need to know. Put them to every company that bids.
What should a paver contractor put in front of you?
Paver work means hoses, cleaners and sprayers beside your landscaping, screens and garage door, sometimes for more than a day. A reliable company expects questions about who is on your property and has the answers ready. To talk through the answers, call (386) 337-3172.
Insurance you can read
Ask for a certificate of general liability coverage that is current. If a hose bursts or a cleaner burns a shrub, the company's policy responds and yours stays untouched.
The license that matches the work
Ask which Florida license or local registration covers the exact job, and bring it up again if repairs or relaying are part of the plan.
A company you can find again
Look for a phone number that gets answered, work done around Flagler County and a named person who is responsible for your job.
The price, written down
Get the square footage, the steps, the products and the total on paper before any equipment is set up.
Does paver work near Bunnell require a license or a tax receipt?
That depends on the work. Washing and sealing are a different trade from lifting and relaying pavers, so ask about licensing whenever repairs or new paving are in the plan. The Flagler County Tax Collector issues Local Business Tax Receipts, says most construction or home improvement businesses register with the Flagler County Building Department first, and notes that a receipt alone does not show a company follows every city, county, state or federal rule.

Checking takes a few minutes. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a public license search where you can look up a company by name or license number. To confirm insurance, have the insurance agent send you the certificate directly. Questions before you decide? Call (386) 337-3172.
What do reliable paver contractors do differently?
They plan around the weather
Sealer needs dry pavers, so a careful company watches the forecast and tells you early when a storm moves the date.
They say what is going on the pavers
They can name the sealer, the finish and the cleaner, and say whether the sealer works over what is already down.
They walk the whole job first
They check low spots, loose pavers, old sealer, orange well-water stains and standing water before they commit to a number.
They protect what is around the pavers
They explain how plants, screens, vehicles and any pond or ditch on your lot stay clear of cleaner, wash water and overspray.
