Online Video Tells How to Choose the Right Contractor LOS ANGELES, CA – September 08, 2008: Pacific Pavingstone Inc (http://www.pacificpavingstone.com), one of the largest paving stone driveway, patio, pool deck and walkway installation companies in Southern California recently re-released a number of its popular online video presentations. These presentations were made to be informative and enlightening to homeowners interested in paving stone installations, such as driveways, walkways, pool decks and patios. One of the most crucial decisions involved in any new construction project is choosing the right contractor (http://pacificpavingstone.com/vid-choosing_contractor.html). In fact, this may very well be the most important decision a homeowner can make. We’ve all heard the horror stories of projects gone wrong and we know that it’s no easy task finding a trustworthy and fully professional contractor. A paving stone driveway is an investment and it is important to make sure it’s done right from excavation to the laying of the paving stones. That’s why Pacific Pavingstone went ahead and produced the “Choosing the Right Contractor” online video. In the video one would expect Pacific Pavingstone to promote that homeowners only use their services; but in actual fact, the information they present can be applied to virtually any contracting job; not just paving stone driveways, walkways, pool decks and patios. Some of the vital information and tips imparted in the video include a checklist of points to review before hiring any contractor. Make sure they have a contractor’s license, worker’s compensation, and liability insurance. The next important step is to check references. A reputable contractor should be able to provide these, and even offer them. Finally, the best indicator of a good contractor is to see their work. They should have a showroom, or at the very least, photo albums available for a prospective homeowner to view. Whether one is installing a custom paving stone driveway, pool deck, patio or walkway, or whether one is having a roof redone or garage built, following these simple steps should allow one to make the best decision as to which contractor to choose. Terry Morrill, founder and CEO of Pacific Pavingstone, adds, “We are pleased to present these informative online videos to the general public and hope that they help them make informed and wise decisions with regard to hiring the right help. You can never be too careful when choosing a contractor to work on your home. Of course, we stand by our commitment to provide the very best paving stone driveways, patios, pool decks and walkways in Southern California.” Terry Morrill also owns California Waterscapes (http://www.californiawaterscapes.com), which designs and installs ponds, streams and waterfalls around the Los Angeles area. Pacific Pavingstone has twice been included on the Inc 500 list of fastest growing companies, and this year was included on the Inc 5000 list and recently won The Angie’s List Award for Superior Service.
