Getting Bids as Easy as 1, 2, 3.
By Rod Davis, CEO BBB
Even though we are busier every day, hiring the wrong business can create problems that will not only consume hour upon hour, but will have a negative impact on your bank account. BBB tries to help consumers find businesses that have earned trust, and because even the best businesses can make a mistake, BBB Accredited Businesses agree to review, respond, and work to resolve complaints filed with BBB.
And because you don’t always have time to interview and screen businesses, BBB does much of the initial work for you. BBB Accredited Businesses must be properly licensed, have a good track record with consumers, advertise honestly and work proactively with consumers. BBB permits you to request quotes from businesses directly or send a request to obtain multiple quotes (up to 3). It all begins with a start to go.bbb.org/2MaIdXY
Whether you are looking for a business to fix your roof or an attorney to draft a contract, the tool makes it easy for you to obtain quotes and find the right business for you. Next you will complete a form and upload pictures to help you get complete quotes. I recently used this tool to obtain quotes from three businesses to manufacture and install plantation shutters in two bedrooms I was remodeling. I wanted to match the shutters I had in the rest of the house so I took a picture of the shutters, measured the windows, and indicated that I wanted the composite shutters. By providing as much information as possible, you will receive more detailed responses. The Request A Quote form lets you indicate if you prefer to be contacted by email or by phone.
Once the information is provided, you can relax until receiving an email telling you that quotes are ready for your review. The information sent to you together with the quote will permit you to review the business profile and information to help you decide which business provides the best option for you.
After reviewing my options and checking out the businesses, I sent an email and made an appointment for the business to come to my house and make final measurements. Once that was complete, we signed the agreement and the business gave me a
timeframe of 4-5 weeks for the shutters to be manufactured. The business called me when the shutters were ready and we set the time for installation. Today I have matching shutters in every room and never had to leave my house.
Most projects go smoothly, but remember to keep all of your paperwork and agreements. Keep tabs on the projects and deadlines. If a deadline is missed, call the business and ask for an explanation and get any promises in writing. All agreements should have a payment plan that retains a significant amount of the payment to be made only after the work is completed and satisfactory. In some instances, there may be reasonable disagreements and BBB is a resource to help resolve disputes and if necessary, even offer dispute resolution services. BBB requires all BBB Accredited Businesses to live up to the BBB Code of Business Practices. It is nice to have that support behind you, but the best news is that you will likely never need it.
Once the work is complete, take time to share your experience with our community by leaving a review at BBB.org. If the business did a great job, let them know. If the business did not live up to expectations, you should let them know what they can do to improve. Good businesses appreciate the feedback and will take constructive comments to heart and either refine their process or provide additional training to employees.

Making Memories Exploring & Glamping
By Anna Valencia Tillery
Memorial Weekend 2023 in Florida’s Northwest Region
The springs in Florida’s northwestern region, along the big bend before entering the panhandle, are a glimpse of what Florida was with just the right number of modern conveniences. Over Memorial weekend 2023, the happy campers we are, capitalized on the long weekend and ventured far from home. Excited for the two full days on the waterways, we opted to take the highways to make better time. It might have worked too had the travel cover for our pontoon not have shredded while on the turnpike!
Regardless, we arrived with an hour to spare before nightfall to the River Run Campground. Though the office was closed, the sign told us to simply find a spot and check in the following morning. So, we did. Though this place was not a campground for as much as it was a camping trailer permanent park, many clearly parked for several years if not longer. Still, a spot or two were accessible. Important to note, there was a second half of the park with small cabins designed for those kayaking down the Ichetucknee River. These units were rented as Air BNB’s which seemed cute enough. Breaking news, there are many private boat ramps in that area of Florida. Most belonging to members of sprawling properties with an HOA overlay, these water access points require a key for entry and exit; none of which we had. Luckily, another friendly fellow saw our setup and suggested heading up the street and around the bend for a $5 pay to launch ramp attached to Sandy’s Point Motel & Campground. Thank heavens for this find!
River #60 the Santa Fe! With its nearly clear water lapping up on the shore of either side with the high amount of boat traffic, it was obvious many springs fed into this river. Shallow white sand banks lined the river’s edge, along with large boulders and fallen tree trunks; a favorite sunning spot for the young
turtles and gators that lived there. Houses also were prevalent to the northern side of the rive. We have always said we enjoy the patriotism found on the river and the Santa Fe held true for that busy Memorial weekend with nearly every home proudly waving an American flag in honor of the fallen and deployed.
To the east then southeast, the Santa Fe River is quite long and even disappearing underground! That is a main attraction at O’Leno State Park our family saw years back. It then reappears and carries on for many more miles until it dwindles into a creek. For lunch that first full day on the water, we enjoyed Italian sliders and chips with fresh watermelon. Eventually, we even found a nice beach area perfect for Seger to run and play fetch.
Day two was incredible and we arrived much earlier to Sandy’s Point this time. Once in the water with our nonworking depth finder and dented prop, we went straight for the Ichetucknee, just a 20-minute cruise on the Santa Fe. We were one of the first boats in the spring fed river accomplishing river #61 ya’ll! The water here was crystal clear with tinges of blue and green from the rocks below. There was only about 30 feet or so boats could occupy, north was dedicated to the tubers from the state park headwaters. Though it did not take long for more boaters to arrive so dad figured it best to head out while we could as the current was strong. Once out of our 61st river, we stopped at a tiki pole staked shore for some Seger playtime and lunch. Then, we took the Santa Fe west for the day to see what sights awaited us. Another cool looking rv park/ campground Ellie’s was found and multiple cypress tree forests in the water; so stunning! Though, shortly after the awe-inspiring cypress trees, we noticed the watercolor changing to that murky-ness that most of Florida’s freshwater offers. That is where the intersection of the Santa Fe and Suwannee meet. Our 3rd river of the trip, it is a river we enjoy as its full of sandy sections for sunning and such.
With plans of taking the backroads home to avoid the Memorial Day chaos on the turnpike we witnessed headed to our destination, mom found a path leading us right to our favorite pizza chain Jets. 2.5 hours later, we had hot fresh pizza to enjoy while also seeing dozens of watermelon farms and charming towns. Once on SR60 it was another 2.5 hours home and what a welcome site it was. Another great trip worth doing again for all you fellow glamping, river roamers; safe travels!
