How to Find Reliable Interlocking Companies in Toronto



When the time comes to install a new driveway at your home or new walkways around your office building, interlocking pavers are the way to go. They are a high-quality, durable solution that will give you your money's worth and last you for a very long time. The challenge, however, is finding reliable interlocking companies that are going to perform a quality job that meets industry standards, and avoid those looking to rip you off or damage your property. Unfortunately, complaints and horror stories from unsuspecting customers are all too common. Land-Con Ltd. has been serving the Greater Toronto Area for over twenty-five years, so take it from us. Here is what you can do to find a decent Toronto interlocking company.

Referrals and Research
How to Find Reliable Interlocking Companies in Toronto First of all, know that you can easily avoid inexperienced or unethical interlocking companies by just putting in some extra effort. First of all, go to the website of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute – www.icpi.org. You should be able to find some valuable information there, and learn the basics about interlocking and how it works. Knowing the basics about the product and service you are buying will be invaluable when interviewing potential interlocking companies. Pay particular attention to installation methods and best practices.

Later on, when you are talking to contractors, ask them what their process is, and what steps they would follow when carrying out the work. With the knowledge you have accumulated, you should be able to easily eliminate the interlocking companies or contractors who are taking obvious shortcuts. If they are using several inches of limestone screenings as a base, for example, you'll know that this completely defies all standard specifications. Basically, all the knowledge you have about materials and installation will help. It will make it much easier for you to distinguish between professional companies and shoddy, inexperienced contractors.

Overall, there are many companies and contractors who do beautiful work. Unfortunately, there are equally as many who take advantage of unsuspecting and uninformed consumers. A good way to begin is to collect names of potential interlocking companies. Talk to colleagues, friends, family, and neighbours. If anybody has had an interlocking job done recently, ask if they would recommend their contractor to you. You can also go to the Better Business Bureau to check individual companies' accreditations.

When you begin calling interlocking companies, one of the most important things you need to do is verify that they carry the proper insurance. If any damage occurs at your property, or if a worker is injured while working on your project, you will want these things to be covered by insurance and worker's compensation. You should also ask every contractor to provide you with referrals to recently completed projects of theirs. This will enable you to inspect the quality of their work first hand, and talk to previous clients about their overall experience working with the contractor. Was the work completed on time? Did the costs go up unexpectedly? Were they satisfied with the clean-up and end result? If any contractor is reluctant to provide you with referrals, steer clear. If they can't show you that they have completed quality work, there is no way that you want to risk hiring them.

Finally, once you've gone through the entire process of interviewing contractors, weeding out the bad ones, and selecting from the chosen few, you will want to get everything in writing. The work contract that you sign should have all possible details included, with itemized costs being particularly important. This will protect both you and the interlocking company.
