1. What the county valuation figures mean
The supplied Hillsborough County permit dataset contains 437 permits involving 110 contractors. It reports a median declared permit value of $55,167 (median of 372 permits with a declared value) and a middle range of $18,690-$99,790.
The median describes the midpoint of recorded declared values. The middle range describes the central portion of those values. Neither figure tells you what a contractor will charge for your specific paving project.
2. Local values differ by project mix
Riverview records show a median declared permit value of $59,750 (median of 45 permits with a declared value) and a middle range of $17,866-$92,992. Apollo Beach records show a median declared permit value of $21,845 (median of 38 permits with a declared value).
These Hillsborough County permit records do not establish that the same job costs more in a particular suburb. Scope and site conditions may differ. The supplied data does not include suburb valuation summaries for Lithia or Valrico.
3. Ask what the quote includes
Ask contractors to identify demolition, disposal, excavation, base material, compaction, pavers, cuts, joint material and edge restraints. Have them describe drainage work and any changes at garage entries, gates or pool edges.
Request separate descriptions for optional sealing, landscape restoration and related work. Ask who handles required approvals and inspections, and have the contractor state any associated charges in writing.
4. Compare the same scope
Give prospective contractors the same layout and intended use. Ask each to identify the proposed product, preparation method and exclusions so you can compare more than the total.
A repair quote and a full replacement quote address different work. Ask why each contractor recommends lifting existing pavers, replacing the base or changing drainage before choosing an approach.
5. Get a property-specific proposal
Share photographs and describe access, existing surfaces and water problems when requesting a referral. The contractor should confirm site conditions before you rely on a final proposal.
We connect you with independently licensed local paver installers. You agree directly with the contractor you choose on pricing, payment terms, changes and any warranty. RG Holdings does not provide a paving price quote.
Questions homeowners ask
Do you publish a price per area?
No. The supplied records do not support a price per area, and RG Holdings does not quote paving work. Cost varies; get several quotes from contractors using the same project scope.
Are declared permit values final invoices?
Treat them as declared values recorded for permitting, not final invoices or contractor offers. Hillsborough County permit records provide context, but they do not establish your project's price.
Why can contractor quotes differ?
Contractors may propose different materials, excavation, base preparation, drainage or restoration. Ask them to explain those differences and document exclusions before comparing totals.
Does the local permit data describe your referral partners?
The figures describe the supplied Hillsborough County permit dataset. They do not establish how many contractors participate in this referral service or endorse a contractor's work.
