SELECTING
YOUR CONTRACTOR |
 |
Knowing
something about your contractor isn't really enough.
Quality installation, you should ask questions of
the contractor like- |
| |
 |
How long have they been installing
pavers? |
| |
|
Have they been trained by either
a manufacturer of the product or the NZCMA? |
| |
|
Will they provide you with three
references, not only recent ones but also past ones? |
| |
|
Can you contact the references
they provide and inspect the jobs? |
| |
|
Do they have a portfolio of photos
and letters? |
| |
|
Do they have current liability
insurance? While the contractor is on your property
they should be insured for any damages or injuries
that may occur. Check your homeowners insurance
policy for coverage of the contractor while on your
property. |
| |
|
Do they install the job as per
NZCMA or manufacturers specifications for the laying
of the product? |
| |
|
Do they provide a written, itemized
proposal outlining the scope of the work and the
terms of payment? It should include starting and
completion dates, demolition and excavation, paving
and base materials. |
| |
|
Do they guarantee their work
for at least one years and will they return in a
year to inspect it? |
| |
With
the answers to these questions and others you may
have, you should be able to select a competent contractor.
