Door to door

So the other day we get someone at our door asking if we’re looking to have our driveway resealed and our lawns taken care of for the season as this company is in the neighbourhood doing just that.  Right off the top I’m skeptical.  I’ve been suckered in to this before.  We have this company patch and reseal our driveway the driveway at our old house and they did such a crap job it wasn’t worth the money we paid for it.  I was so pissed…

I told my wife not to agree to anything until I talked to him and saw what he had to offer.  The next day he came by again and he walked and talked me though the process that they do and they make sure that we agree to the work before they leave.  I talked to my wife again (who feels the same as I do) and we agreed to try them out.  They’re going to come by and seal our driveway, patch up the cracks and rough spots in June or July.

I hope I’m not going to look like a fool again.  I’ll let you know how it works out.  What would you have done in this instance?
