Ways to save in Westminster
- Pave when a neighbor is paving so the crew shares mobilization.
- Overlay instead of full replacement when the base is still solid.
- Collect three written bids on an identical scope — spreads of 20–40% are normal.
- Book in the off-season and stay flexible on the start date to save 5–15%.
- Bundle nearby work into one mobilization so you only pay setup and travel once.
- Ask what the contractor would change to cut 10% without hurting durability.
