Do you see that lovely home down the street – that one in which the owners just put all of that beautiful stonework around their entrance? You potentially thought they have to be millionaires to have the ability to afford it. Surprise – all that fancy stone actually is not stone! It is concrete, and a lot cheaper than you thought. Now that you are prepared to start, below include a few tips for how to hire the best concrete contractor in Jacksonville, FL.
Obtain References
Request from the Contractor references of current and past customers of work that has been completed. Once received contact those references, explain that you were referred to them by the Contractor that you are reviewing and ask them about the project that they have developed.
Obtain Estimates
As you have a brief concrete contractor list – maybe, 3 or 4 – call every one, arrange a meeting, have them come by to look over your place in which the work is going to be done and ask them to provide a written estimate. Figure out whether there will include certain issues, like weather conditions, which you have to bear in mind.
Protect Yourself
Before signing anything, be certain that your concrete contractor is insured, bonded and licensed. If the contractor has no insurance, you might be liable for all expenses if there is an accident on the property during the work. If the Contractor is not licensed, this might mean real trouble. Guard your family, yourself, and the concrete contractor, as well as his employees, as well, by ensuring that he has all insurance and licenses that are required by law.
Get it all in Writing
As you’ve selected your concrete contractor, draw a contract up. The agreement must include all of the details of the work – every piece of material that is to be used, project timeline, payment schedule, all applicable warranties, as well as clean-up.
