Had the driveway pavers here for an estimate to rip up the old driveway and replace with new base and asphalt top.
That should help make backing the boat in a big smoother.
Brother-in-law knows the owner so we feel we can trust them and they are a member of the BBB.
There are a number of fly by night paving companies in the area so I've been reluctant to go through the process until now.

You do know the BBB is a scam, right? Anyone paying the dues can be A
or A+ rated despite complaints.

I have used them, once, to get some money back from an outfit. My complaint got forwarded to the
firm, and I was reimbursed.

That's the only experience I've had with them.

It's my understanding that placement on Angie's List is also dependent on advertising/money, as is
Yelp.

The best consumer protection these days comes from those evil bankers
via your credit card. They have the ability to claw money back from
bad merchants. I got a full refund on that boat seat I had a problem
with and I got to keep the seat. Granted that they had painted
themselves in a corner by trying to say that it wasn't their seat and
that I was just trying to slam them on the internet in spite of the
fact that I had their invoice and AmEx paid the money to them.
AmEx was great. I had to wait a month or so while they argued with the
company but then I got a full credit.
