How to Find a Paver to Do a Walkway

A walkway made with paving stones can take your house’s curb appeal up a notch and make your home stand out from others in the neighborhood that have concrete walkways. Laying paving stones requires care and precision. To get the results you dream of, you’ll need to work with highly qualified walkway pavers.

Look for Experienced Local Contractors

Find a company that has a positive reputation in your community. You can search online and read reviews or ask family members, friends, neighbors, or coworkers for recommendations.

When you contact walkway pavers, ask them how much experience they have with projects like the one you want to have done at your home. Some contractors only install walkways occasionally or employ workers with minimal training and experience. If you hire such a company, you’re likely to get lackluster results.

If you find a business that seems qualified, check its credentials before you move forward. Only hire a company that’s licensed and insured. Ask for references and contact them to inquire about the quality of the work that was done, the contractor’s professionalism, whether they encountered any problems, and if so, how they were handled.

Compare Quotes

Narrow down the list of companies that you’re considering and ask the top few for estimates. Quotes should be in writing and should list charges for materials and labor. Having a detailed breakdown from each contractor will make it easier to compare quotes.

Beware of an estimate that’s significantly lower than the others. Homeowners often get excited when a business quotes them a rock-bottom price, but they should be concerned.

Companies that charge low prices often use cheap materials and have inexperienced workers who cut corners. Contractors sometimes exclude some costs to provide artificially low estimates and get business, then tack on those charges later, leaving customers paying much more than they anticipated.
