This amounts to signing a blank cheque. Make sure the contract includes full details and specifications of the job to be done. Read and understand all terms and conditions before Signing. Make sure all verbal agreements are written into the contract. (Verbal agreements rarely stand up in court.) Delete any terms in the contract you find unacceptable and make sure that both parties initial the change. Get a firm date for completion of the work. If there are still unacceptable conditions or terms, don’t sign. Learn how to say, "NO." Make sure the contractor's name and address are in- cluded in the contract. Never pay more than ten percent of the total cost as a downpayment. Don't be fooled with the ofier of a lengthy guarantee. A guarantee is only good for as long as the company remains in business. Three Driveway Types Make sure that all quotes include everything you want and list the types of materials to be used and the method of construction. Be especially careful if you have a drainage problem. Once you have three estimates‘in writing. tele- phone the Consumer Protection Bureau to ensure that the contractor is duly registered under the provisions of The Consumer Protection Act. The Bureau will be able to indicate whether the company has been the subject of consumer complaints. Don‘t haggle or cut comers on the quoted price. A contractor may cut his price. but he will also reduce the amount of material he supplies. Thus. a lower price will affect the quality of the work. Ask the contractor forthe names of three people in your area with whom he has done business. If possible, look at their driveways and ask if they are satisfied. Your best bet when considering either resurfacing or paving your driveway for the first time is to get three estimates from reputable contractors. Despite repeated warnings, many consumers do busi- ness with contractors who do not even have an address. Anyone can rent equipment and slap down a thin covering of asphalt. When the driveway cracks and weeds start growing through it soon after the job is completed. these hucksters cannot be found so nothing can be done to have re pairs made. Choosing a Contractor There are no bargains in driveway paving. You only get what you pay for. Paving is a major undertaking that involves expensive supplies and equipment. A first-class pavingjob should last at least 10 years with routine care. Ontario’s Consumer Protection Bureau receives many complaints about residential driveway paving. FIy-by-night contractors appear every spring, offering to asphalt or re surface driveways at ridiculously low prices Their usual ploy is that they “just happened to be in the area and we have some orders from your neighbors so we can give you a good deal if we do your driveway now. " Be suspicious of this type of operator. The dirty-tricks squad that even the regular cops are afraid of! I mum UD-IthISIDN PRODUCYION - A uNIVIM RUM“ There are basically three types ofdriveway pavingjobs: An adequate first paving requires a six-inch excavation which is then filled with crushed and compacted lime- stone to a depth of four inches. To this. two inches of compacted asphalt is added. For a severely cracked older driveway, a good job requires that the old asphalt be completely removed before backfilling with four inches of compacted crushed limestone. After this, two inches ofcompacted asphalt is added. For a re-capping job, where minor cracks have ap- peared, a layer of asphalt over the original driveway is sufiicient.
