When it comes to finding a reputable contractor, many business owners and property managers find it a daunting task. Luckily there are several questions you can ask to ensure the company you are ready to hire is qualified. You can also check review websites for positive and negative assessments. 

Before you decide on a specific sealcoating contractor, it is recommended to get a quote from at least three different businesses. This will give you the opportunity to get three opinions about what repairs your parking lot might need. 

You will also be able to compare the price each contractor gives you and see if they are similar. Typically, the cheapest is not always the best, but that does not necessarily mean you should hire the most expensive. By obtaining three separate quotes, you can also spot someone trying to scam you. Below are a few areas you can look to research sealcoating contractors and few items you should ask for.

Review Websites

There are several review websites you can look to for an unbiased view on contracting companies. One of the top places to check for relevant reviews is Google. They are a large player in the review game and a great source for guidance when selecting a contractor. Google’s primary focus is on the consumer, not the companies offering their services. It is important to look at competitor reviews as well when searching for a sealcoating company. Also note how a company responds to all reviews, positive and negative, as it can tell you a lot about how it will be to work with the company. 

Another source for information is the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB grades businesses on trustworthiness and factors 17 additional components. They also will review actual incidences of behavior and often help when a consumer is wronged by a company. Grades are on a scale of A+ through F with A+ being the best grade a business can achieve. 

Other review sites, such as Yelp, Facebook, AngiesList, and others, can offer further consideration. We recommend examining the reviews on several websites before you make your final selection. Sealcoating and asphalt repairs can be quite the investment and obtaining as much information as possible before you commit is highly favored.

Referrals

Many consumers find referrals from trusted family, friends, and colleagues to be the most valuable when finding a reputable contractor. Just because someone doesn’t own a business or need sealcoating services, doesn’t mean they don’t know a reputable company. Referrals are often the most trustworthy and offer the highest quality of work. Additionally, neighboring businesses might be able to offer you a contractor and you will be able to examine the results of their work. 

Licenses & Insurance 

One final aspect of discovering a reputable sealcoating contractor for your business is to ask for proof of insurance and licensing. A quality company will not only have both of these items, but they will be able to provide a copy of them without question. While you are discussing your sealcoating and asphalt repair needs and obtaining a quote, ask your contractors then.
