What is the going rate per square foot for installing pavers in my area?
While tempting, bidding projects by the square foot (sometimes even before seeing the project!) is a recipe for disaster for contractors and especially homeowners. Every job is different, and so is every contractor. We bid our company’s price for your specific job, using labor hours for each job function and our own markups for overhead and profit. We do not quote square foot pricing simply based on competitive rates. You should be cautious of anyone who can give you a price sight unseen. If they feel pressured to hold to a price, corners are usually cut or there will be plenty of adds to the final project to make up the difference. It is better to get to the closest final price with a site visit. Remember price is only a small part of deciding who you want, ask plenty of questions.
