Brick
Pavers
What to look for when
selecting an ethical Brick Paving Company:
-
Check
for a permanent place of business, telephone
number and a business license.
-
Look
for a company that will let you meet them at
their place of business.
-
Look
for a company that does not ask for excessive
deposits. No more than 50% down.
-
Look
for a company with a proven track record. Check
to see if they have a web site.
-
Look
for a Company that is a member and certified by
the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI).
-
Look
for a company that will show you proof of
insurance. General Liability and Workers'
Compensation. If they use subcontractors have
them show you proof of insurance or make sure
subcontractors are covered under the Brick
Pavers company policy.
-
Look
for a company that will give you a detailed
written proposal on company letterhead and
examine it for complete descriptions of the work
and specifications, including approximate
starting and completion dates and payment
procedures. Make sure the price is all
inclusive.
-
Carefully
read, understand, and ask questions regarding
any brick pavers warranty offered. Brick Paver
warranties against structural failure vary
greatly sometimes between one and twenty years.
Check with the manufacturer and your installer
on the warranty. Structural failure means: Paver breaking in (2) two under normal traffic.
Usually a one year warranty on labor.
-
Look
for a company with a proven track record that
allows you to call references to verify their
work.
-
Professionalism
is very important; look at how the company
represents itself during your initial meeting.
-
Look
for a company that explains clearly to your
different options available to you. Most
reputable brick paving companies have a display
area that you can walk and view your options.
-
There
are companies that will lower their bid price by
not installing the pavers properly.
-
Make
sure concrete pavers comply with the National
Engineered Standard.
