🚨 BUYER BEWARE 🚨
Spring is here, which means another wave of paving companies is popping up across Delmarva — and in some cases, it’s the same companies operating under a different name.
A driveway is a major investment in your home. Don’t make the mistake of choosing a contractor based only on the cheapest price. Instead, look for the best long-term value from a company you trust to stand behind their work.
Before hiring any paving contractor, make sure they have:
✔️ A valid MHIC License
Protects consumers and ensures the contractor meets Maryland requirements for insurance and licensing.
✔️ A real Google Business page
Public reviews matter. Look for companies with an established reputation and transparent customer feedback.
✔️ A physical office location
A stable company should have a real place of business you can visit if needed.
✔️ A professional website
A long-term investment in their business usually reflects a long-term commitment to customers.
✔️ A detailed written proposal & contract
This protects BOTH parties and clearly explains the scope of work, materials, warranty, and expectations.
✔️ A warranty with clear terms
Not just “we warranty it” — ask what is covered and how issues are handled if they arise.
