FAQ
Choosing a Paving Contractor
A professionally designed and properly constructed
asphalt pavement will last for many years and most reputable contractors
will stand behind their work with a one-year warrantee. Know whom
you are doing business with. Consumers are safer dealing with a
contractor who has roots in the community, like Bonness Inc.
Some things you will NEVER
see Bonness, or an any other reputable company, do:
- Selling door–to–door. Reputable
asphalt contractors will rarely, if ever, sell their product door-to-door.
- Claiming they have leftover asphalt from another job.
Professional asphalt contractors will know, with great accuracy,
how much paving material is needed to complete a project. Rarely
will they have leftover material.
- Push you to make a quick decision. Reputable
contractors will provide a written estimate that will be valid
for days or weeks. If the great deal they are offering you today
is not available tomorrow or next week it is probably a scam.
Never hire someone on the spot. Ask for references and check them!
- No contract offered. Insist on a written contract
specifying in detail, the work to be performed and the agreed
upon price.
- Cash only sales. Most reputable contractors
take checks or credit cards and don’t require cash-only
terms.
- Deals that seem too good to be true. If the
quoted price seems very low, chances are the quality of the work
will also be quite low.
- Unmarked truck. Often the trucks they travel
in are unmarked or they have an out-of-town address and phone
number. A little research will reveal that they have no permanent
address and the phone number is often an answering machine.
Too often we hear “horror stories” of the results of
choosing a “gypsy paver” or unreputable paving contractor.
If you have any doubts, get a second opinion. With over three decades
of working and living in this area, Bonness Inc. has earned the
trust of many. How can we earn yours?
