How To Be "Paver Contractor-Wise"


In order that you might be a smarter shopper, we have compiled a short list of questions to ask a potential brick paving contractor. We believe that when fairly compared to any other contractor, American Brick Paving stands out.
  • Home Office - Does the contractor have a permanent place of business or just a P.O. Box?
  • Qualified - Is Brick Paving his primary business?
  • Finances - Is the contractor financially stable?
  • Insurance - Is the contractor adequately insured? Workman's Comp. and Liability? Insurance binders should be supplied prior to contracting with any contractor.
  • Approved Installation - Does the contractor use manufacturer's recommendations for installation? Has he shown you those specifications?
    • Will the base be a three-part (granular stone/aggregate/sand) 9" base for driveways and 6" depth for other areas?
    • Will compaction of the base be accomplished in "lifts" (stages), rather than all at once?
    • Will there be no more than 1" of bedding sand used under pavers?
  • Will the contractor guarantee levelness and integrity?
  • Does the contractor provide a detailed plan prior to starting the job?
  • Is the contractor Unilock certified?
