Do you have a paving project coming up? If you are looking for a paving contractor, it is best to
know that you get the most for your money. Are you working with a reliable paving contractor or
are you working with a rip-off?
Keep on reading for you to be aware and distinguish scams when choosing a contractor for your
asphalt installation and repair.
Here are some quick clues you’re dealing with a scam contractor
They offer an unbelievably low price.
They only take cash as payment. They don’t take checks or credits.
They don’t provide you a properly written estimate.
They may pressure you to decide quickly.
Are they based locally?
Beware of scams involving salespersons who are not even from the area. What they do is they
go door to door while promoting the work that they do. They may claim to be working on a job
nearby. They will then offer an asphalt job for a really low price saying that they just have to use
the excess asphalt from their previous job.
When they give you a quote, make sure to ask for the fixed and final deal.
There are contractors who would reason out that they found major issues while completing the
asphalt installation or repair, asking for additional fees. On top of that, they will end up making a
disastrous job.
Are they offering warranty for their job?
Only the skilled and competent contractors offer warranty. If they don’t offer warranty even if you
ask for it, then you might want to stay away from them.
Do you get what you pay for?
Before hiring a contractor, be sure that they will comply with all your requests and suggestions
as discussed. Some contractors lay substandard materials to cut down costs and increase their
profits.
