What to Confirm Before a Paver Contractor Starts
Five minutes of questions can save you money and worry. Ask them of every company that bids on your pavers.
What should a paver contractor put in writing?
A crew can spend a day or two at your house, with hoses, cleaners and sprayers near your plants, windows and car. A 2026 Jacksonville price guide says a good quote comes with a walkthrough, a written scope, itemized pricing, proof of insurance, the sealer brand and finish, and a timeline. If any piece is missing, ask for it. Want help with the list? Call (904) 637-8112.
Proof of insurance
Ask for a current liability certificate, so damage during the job is handled by the company's insurer and not by your own policy.
The license that fits the job
Ask which Florida license or local registration covers the work being planned, especially if pavers must be reset or repaired.
A name and a number
You should know who answers for the job, and the phone number should be answered by that business.
The sealer and finish by name
The quote should say which product goes down and whether it is a wet look, satin or natural matte.
Does paver work in Jacksonville need a license?
That depends on the work. Cleaning and sealing differ from lifting and relaying pavers, so ask about licensing for any repair or rebuild in your plan. Businesses in Jacksonville may also owe local business tax, which the Duval County Tax Collector handles, so a company can tell you how it is registered.

You can check a company yourself. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a license search by name or license number. For insurance, ask the company to have its agent send the certificate directly to you. Questions before you decide? Call (904) 637-8112.
How do I tell a contractor is dependable?
They check the weather
Pavers must be dry before sealer goes on, so a careful company watches the forecast and tells you early when a date must change.
They explain the price
They tell you what the number covers, such as cleaning, sand and sealer, and what costs extra, like stripping an old coat.
They look before they quote
They walk the whole area and point out low spots, failed sealer and places where water sits.
They protect what is nearby
They say how plants, screens, your car and the storm drain stay safe from cleaners and overspray.
