A&G Paved the ramp at the airport our airplane is hangared at. We asked if it would be necessary to move our airplane and were told the work would not be anywhere near our airplane. Within an hour, the A&G crew ran a Bobcat into the wingtip of our airplane, causing thousands of dollars of damage. The airplane had to be temporarily repaired with a special tape and inspected by an FAA inspector before we could be given a temporary permit to fly it 200 miles to the nearest repair facility where the fiberglass could be repaired and repainted. The airplane was out of commission for three months while this work was being done. Fortunately their insurance company was very easy to work with.
