Default Northern VA prop repair

Can anybody recommend a good prop shop within a couple hours of northern VA. It's not damaged(that I know of) just pitted and looking old from the last three seasons. thanks

Several years ago I had Curtis Propeller in Temple Hills Md on Stamp Rd and Murphys's Propeller in Norfolk VA, do some standard repairs on basic propellers. Now I only use http://www.bblades.com/ for any prop work.

I'm glad you guys have had good luck with bblades, cause I can't even get them to respond to an email within a reasonable time span. Even after they sent ME the invitation.

Had extremely good service from Murphys and will continue to use their services.

I wonder about the cats too, maybe he wants it to feel like Key West, they have a bit of a cat problem to. I had him work on 4 Bravo 1 props, I just wanted the older set cleaned up and the other I wanted 500 more rpm. I couldn't even get on plane with any of them, Thease props were fine to most people I was just getting ready for the season. Took them back a told him what was up he said he could fix it but I would have to pay $125 a prop. I took them to Curtis and told him the story and told him just to make them stock since I didnt know if he could make any mods. and I allready bought a pair of worked 24's. $200 more and they were good.

Thanks for the help, I emailed BBlades this morning. I think I'm gonna go that route. I'm sure I'll have a good experience.

Has anyone ever used Propeller Dynamics in Chester, VA. I was talking to my neighbor and he said all the Bass holes use this guy and he knows his stuff, on any boat, set-up. I have been dealing with BBlades, just wondering if there is someone just as good, a lot closer.
