George Skipper & Son Inc

George Skipper & Son Inc is a Chatham paving contractor working across Cape Cod, and one of the oldest names in the trade here: the company's own site says founder George Skipper started roadwork in 1927 and opened his own residential and commercial paving business in late 1945, with his eldest son taking it over as George Skipper & Son Paving. The About page is signed by George (Pete) Skipper, President, and the company describes itself as family-owned. The work it advertises is asphalt in its various forms — asphalt, chip-seal and macadam driveways, private roads and tennis courts. That mix is a Cape specialty in itself: chip seal and macadam are what many older Cape properties and association roads use instead of plain blacktop. On the public record, the strongest signal is a neighbour's recommendation. In a March 2026 Nextdoor thread from a homeowner asking who to use to replace a shell driveway with blacktop, a Chatham resident answered simply with the company name, its phone number and its town. That is a genuine word-of-mouth nod, but it is one line, not a description of a finished job. What this file does not contain is a body of customer reviews — there are no star ratings or written reviews here from any platform, so nothing speaks first-hand to price, crew, timeline or clean-up. The BBB profile is consistent with that: it lists the business at 60 Perch Pond Dr in Chatham, records zero complaints, and states plainly that BBB does not have enough information to issue a rating; the business is not BBB accredited. One date to keep straight: the BBB record shows the entity as started 1/1/1993 with five employees, while the company's own history dates the family business to 1945 — the 1993 date most likely reflects the current corporate entity rather than the trading history. Before booking, ask for recent Cape driveway references you can look at, and get the surface spelled out in writing — asphalt versus chip seal versus macadam behave differently over sand and tree roots, so the quote should say which one, how thick, and what base prep is included.
