Westport Curbsetters Inc

Westport Curbsetters is a one-person operation on Blossom Road in Westport, working the hardscape end of a yard — the walkways and edging that frame a driveway or a garden bed. Its Better Business Bureau file, which lists it under walkway designs, is the only third-party paper on the company, and it is close to bare. That file dates the corporation to February 4, 2008, which puts it at eighteen years, and lists a single employee. It carries no customer reviews, no complaints and no government actions, and the BBB declines to issue a rating at all, saying it does not have enough information to grade the business. The company is not BBB accredited — a thing businesses opt into, not a finding against them. Eighteen years of continuous incorporation counts for something. It is not the same as eighteen years of documented, praised work, and nothing written down here speaks to how the jobs actually go. Landscaping-only work is exempt from Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, so for this trade there is no state registry entry to check either. This is a hire you verify yourself rather than through other people's write-ups. Ask for the addresses of recent walkway and curb jobs nearby and go look at them, ask who will physically be on site given the one-employee listing, and get a certificate of insurance in writing before any work starts.
