- 1). Get estimates for your driveway repair from several local contractors. Each contractor should be known in your community, have an established service record and be a member of a local organization, such as your local Chamber of Commerce or Better Business Bureau.
- 2). Request that the estimates be given to you in writing so you can compare the different costs, materials and time frame for each contactor.
- 3). Check with the Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau to ensure that the contractor you choose for your driveway repair is properly licensed and insured for your state.
- 4). Insist that the driveway repair include finished compacted thickness. This is the standard thickness level that a driveway should be when completed.
- 5). Obtain references from the concrete contractor and look into them. These references should include completed driveway repair jobs that are at least a year old. If possible, talk with the homeowners and check out the finished results to see if they are satisfactory to you.
- 6). Get a written contract or service agreement that includes a guarantee for your driveway repair. One of the most important aspects of buying driveway repair is obtaining a written agreement. Without it, you may have no rights in your state.
