Could the parking lot of your building use a little maintenance work? If you’re looking to work with one of the many St. Louis paving contractors to tackle an upcoming asphalt or concrete project, there are a few qualities to keep an eye out for as you consider who to hire.

What to Look for in St. Louis Paving Contractors

You’re looking for a quality paving job from someone you can trust. The following are indications that a paving contractor could fit the bill:

  • They’re local:  You want someone based in St. Louis and with lots of experience working in your area. Paving contractors who are familiar with the area will know how the soil and weather can affect pavement.
  • Good reviews: Look for their Better Business Bureau Rating and read any online reviews you can find about them.
  • Customer service: Do they work directly with you or hand your project off to someone else? Is there a point person you can reach out to with questions about your project?
  • Prompt, detailed proposals: Ask about the level of detail within proposals, as well as their turnaround time.
  • Properly licensed and insured: What insurance will they provide for the project? Always ask for proof of licensing and insurance before partnering with a contractor. If they aren’t covered, you could be held accountable for any missteps during the project.
  • Experienced crew: How long have they been in the paving business in St. Louis? Ask about the level of detail in their work and the amount of repeat customers they have to get a better idea.
  • Quality assurance: You don’t want to see the same pavement cracks in a few months time. Are they confident in the quality of their paving work? Are there steps you can take if you’re not satisfied with the quality?
  • Acceptable equipment and materials: It’s tough to complete quality work using equipment and materials that may be outdated or inferior. When was the last time they upgraded?
  • Timeline: Talk with potential contractors in St. Louis about what the timeline for the project looks like and how that lines up with your needs.

As you look into each of these qualities for St. Louis paving contractors and companies, you’ll naturally have favorites that stand out as being a potential fit for your project.

Decision Process

Once you complete your initial research and have narrowed down your options to a few that you like, it’s time to start requesting proposals. (If we made your list, you can request a proposal from us online.)

Cost Considerations

As you weigh your options, you might consider things like cost, timeline and their responsiveness and professionalism throughout the process thus far. Everyone is different and places certain qualities higher than others on their list of priorities.

Rather than using cost as the deciding factor, we’d encourage you to compare apples to apples, focusing on the quality of work and customer service instead. The best paving contractors and companies use choice materials and top equipment, and they will work with you to get the project completed as promised.

For contractors and companies with a higher price tag, is the quality worth the price? And for those that may be cheaper, will you end up with a patch job that requires another maintenance project before too long? Paying for quality now could save you money on repairs in the long run.
