Tradesman List

We've all heard that expression. It reminds us that behind every job there's a person. And when you make a referral, you're not just recommending a company, but a person's integrity. That's how I feel about the people I work with and whose services I recommend with confidence.

In the real estate business, you come into contact with a wide variety of tradesmen in the course of readying a property for sale: plumbers, painters, electricians, landscapers, etc. Over time, you learn who does good work for a fair price, who you can depend on for an honest day's work. Many people have asked me for the name of someone reliable to do a job around their house.

In response to their requests, here's a list of tradesmen I've come to know and trust, and am happy to recommend to you. If for some reason you are unhappy with their service please notify me so I may remove them from my list.
