Woodlea Manor

Like many of you, we have begun to research roofers for repair or replacement of our cedar shingle roof.
We would like to hear from others regarding their experiences and recommendations – and of course we will share what we learn.
Many of the names in the tradesman list are a little older, but we see one recent company listed here in the classifieds. This can be a less tedious process if we can share our knowledge!

We are having problems with our exterior doors: hardware is pocked and degraded, latches and door jam sticking, weatherstripping tearing off. I noticed that the clubhouse doors were recently replaced. We have a double front door similar to the clubhouse. WHat was the problem with the clubhouse doors? Has anyone else replaced doors? Anyone have doors serviced without completely replacing them? thanks,

Hi I would like to post an add for a great landscape designer in our area.  Her name is Jane Munzell and her website is www.landscapedesignbyjane.com.  Here is a little blurb that you can post along with her website information.  Thanks!

The weather is getting so nice now and nice weather always gets me in the mood to make my yard look great!  I wanted to pass along Jane Munzell’s information to any of you that might have an interest in landscaping for your home.  Some people really have a knack for doing certain jobs and Jane Munzell is definitely one of those people.  Please check out her website and give her a call for any of your landscape needs. She has a great website that has pictures of her work and all contact information. www.landscapedesignbyjane.com
