You can find local paving companies by asking people you know and searching the Internet. Consider the following people and places for recommendations and directions.
Connect with family, friends and neighbors
Do you have a friend, family member or neighbor with a good paved road? Ask who they hired and then call a professional for a quote.
Ask a real estate agent
Real estate agents usually keep a contact list of paving companies in their address book to encourage clients to list their homes for sale. If you have a relationship with a broker or know a friend or family member who does, contact them for a referral. You will find that most brokers will be happy to share their resources.
Talk to your HOA
Do you live in an apartment complex with a homeowners association? Your HOA will probably be able to give you some recommendations for licensed paving contractors. Associations maintain a long list of approved and insured contractors who have done work for community homeowners and public spaces.
Check out the Better Business Bureau
Visiting the BBB website is a great way to find reliable paving companies in your area. Go to the site, type the keywords "asphalt contractor near me" into the search box and the site will return many asphalt contractors. You'll see company ratings from "A+" to "F" and see which companies have complaints submitted by previous customers.
Check reviews online
You can find asphalt contractors by searching Google and other search engines. Search for "asphalt contractors near me" and search engines will return customer reviews from sites like Google Reviews, Yelp, and Angi.com. As a general rule: Search for company information on multiple review sites to check for consistency and identify bias.
