He advises people on the steps they need to take before hiring a professional paver. These include doing some research, creating a short list, and choosing a contractor. They also suggest 16 questions to ask a potential brick paving contractor.

Questions to ask include how long the contractor has been installing pavers; whether the contractor uses employees or subcontractors who might not have workman’s comp insurance; whether it is certified by Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute; whether the contractor is authorized by a major brick manufacturer; how the contractor will grade the brick installation for appropriate drainage and water runoff; whether the excavated area will be a minimum of six to 12 inches wider than the actual paved area to ensure edge stability; and the type of edge restraint that they are going to use.

The types of work that Old World Brick Paving is capable of providing include hardscape design; outdoor kitchens; paver brick driveways; paver brick patios; paver brick walkways; pergolas; various kinds of paver installation repairs; and permeable paver maintenance, repair and cleaning.

Hardscape design involves three-dimensional or two-dimensional design. According to Frank, for paver brick driveways, the company utilizes 100 percent virgin limestone base material and then puts in a thicker base than any other contractor, which serves to add more years to the live of the paver driveway. They point out that brick paved driveways add substantially to the curb appeal of the home.

For paver brick patios, Old World Brick Paving also utilizes the best available materials that are installed by factory certified teams. They use 100 percent virgin limestone base material and the best quality heavy duty edging that is secured by 12-inch spikes. The highly trained installation team makes sure that the paver brick patio is installed correctly the first time so that the patio will last for a long time. This is also true for the paver walkways and pergolas.

Old World Brick Paving specialists will also repair a paver driveway, patio or walkway to make them look like new again. They will also repair walls and steps and explain to the homeowner why the problem had occurred. They will use professional grade equipment to clean existing pavers with an industrial grade floor scrubbing machine connected to a 4,500 psi power washer. They will then apply the best available sealants and then roll the surface using a one-fourth inch nap roller to ensure that the sealer has been applied evenly.

Old World Brick Paving specialists are also capable of offering maintenance, repair and cleaning of permeable pavers. Permeable paving or porous paving is a method used on vehicle and pedestrian pathways that permit fluids to infiltrate through. This will have the advantage of decreasing surface runoff and help in filtering pollutants and trapping suspended solids.

Old World Brick Paving is a family-owned contractor providing brick paver design and installation services to people in the Greater Chicago area. Those who are interested in paver brick installation can visit their website, call them on the phone, or contact them by email.
