Recommended companies and service providers
The list of referrals below are not just numbers, they have been tested, and in many cases we have used these firms on our own personal homes. Please contact us if you want detailed information on any contractor on the list, or if you have an exceptional referral you think should be on the list. Also, it is important to note that things change, people move around. Always ask for a few additional references and don't always go with the low bid. Be sure to tell them Scooter and Ken sent you!
