<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Hiring Georgia Asphalt Contractors Requires Some Research</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Barbara Howard</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>When having a new driveway or patio installed, finding the right company to deliver the concrete on time, and for a reasonable charge, is not always easy. There are many fly-by-night companies in existence in the Atlanta area. It is vital that a homeowner knows who they are hiring when choosing a <a href="www.southernasphaltmaintenance.com">Georgia asphalt</a> company.<br />
<br />
Many online resources can grant a potential client some basic information about the company, such as licenses and insurance status. However, the references they show are difficult to qualify, and may simply be operators of the company themselves creating fake references. When making a choice, it is important to get their list of references, complete with phone numbers and photos of the work performed.<br />
<br />
The second issue one must consider when having this type of work done regards the actual dump-truck or concrete mixing truck driver. It is vital to confirm that this person has a current CDL in good standing. As one is gathering information, getting the name and number of the driver is another way to ensure that they are hiring reliable and competent individuals.<br />
<br />
There are some companies operating in the North Atlanta region who appear to be legitimate, but not all their drivers are. Some companies in operation have drivers that do not hold a CDL, or their license is suspended. Not only that, but some of their drivers are related to the officers of the company and may not have the skills or licenses that would be required of other employees due to this nepotism.<br />
<br />
If you establish that there is a family connection that runs deep, then it is buyer beware. While they might do perfectly acceptable work, they short-change the subcontractors working for them as an established method of doing business. They make outrageous profits every day, but try to pay their drivers less than $100.00 for what winds up being a 10 to 16 hour day.<br />
<br />
Making profit is all well and good, but the profits they are making are so high that they clearly are overcharging the customer. This family works throughout the state, and often take their drivers on longer runs in other states as well. They may offer excellent pay for a summer of travel, but when it comes time to pay up, they absolutely never deliver the amount of money promised, and usually the driver gets less than half of what he expected.<br />
<br />
It appears that they know exactly what drivers in the area are going through a tough patch, and they take advantage of that fact. They will attempt to short-change their driver each and every time he drives for them, making up a million excuses about why they will not be paying what they promised. Ultimately they take an individual who is going through a tough period, promise him enough money to solve the problem, then leave him even worse off than he was before.<br />
<br />
When we hire a company to do work or deliver materials to our properties, it is important to know who we are dealing with and what impact they have on their communities. When buyers use this type of care in making choices, it becomes more and more difficult for such operations to continue to exist. By flushing these bullies out into the open, it makes way for contractors with the right kind of business ethic to step in.<br />
