Garage Door

If not, definitely call these guys, they know garage doors and they won’t try to up sell you on more parts. (April 2009) |

| Air Comfort Specialists Rating = 5 Round Hill, Va 703-771-9481 One of my original AC units burned itself out in the middle of the summer. It was so hot you could not touch the AC housing. The accompanying smell of something frying convinced me that the York brand unit had to be replaced. I called Ed O’toole at Air Comfort and referred to the AC as “builder grade.” He said there was no such thing as builder grade units. He said too many of these original units get replaced prematurely when they still have years of service left in them. Ed performed a few tests installed a new part and had the York unit operating for $250.00. He said there was no reason to invest $5,000-7,000 in a replacement unit at this time. Air Comfort Specialists has performed installations and repairs before and every time I was treated fair and square. |

| Tempatron Rating = 5 Purcellville, VA (703) 478-1933 Mike Lindsey I have used several HVAC contractors in the area, and Tempatron is head and shoulders above the rest. Their prices are fair and reasonable, and they do quality work. If you are considering them, I urge you to schedule the work in advance because they are extremely busy. In the past five years they have replaced both heat pumps, the gas furnace, and a water heater for me. Highly recommended. Ask for Mike Lindsey when you call. (B. Stone Feb 2010) |
Interior Decorator
| Decorating Day Rating = 5 Alice Blackmer aliceblackmer@verizon.net Leesburg, VA 703-443-9418 Alice’s talents are in room makeovers. She does “staging” for real estate home sales, move-in or down-sizing help, organizing, clutter elimination, shopping at area antique markets and furniture dealers. As she puts it, she helps with CHAOS (can’t have anyone over syndrome) Alice was a tremendous resource when we wanted to refresh our home. We had a furnished house but it needed a lift. Alice re-worked what we had, suggested and then shopped with me for a few key accessories, and miraculously got rid of the clutter. She is much more than an interior decorator. Friendly, helpful, frugal and fun. (Lynes – July 2008) |

| Aqua Flow LLCIrrigation & Night Lighting
PO Box 130 Cross Junction VA 22625 540-888-3166 Rating: 5 One contractor had estimated that we needed 8 zones, another 16. These guys actually tested our (excellent) pressure and determined that we could get by fine with 12 zones for .40 acres. They quoted $200 more than the 8-zone company and $1300 less than the 16-zone crew. They added a 13th zone at no charge, for our vegetable garden. All of the work was done by the partners, Shane & Shawn, who are really nice guys, plus two helpers, in two days. The design work was excellent. They completed on time and did absolutely minimal damage to the lawn. The system works great, and is easy to adjust for seasons. They’ve stopped by twice for minor adjustments at no charge. Our lawn at 1232 Bradfield looks great even in late summer. What more could you ask? Fletcher – August 2009 |
| Thornton Landscaping & Lawn Maintenance, LLC Location: 216 Birch St. N.E., Leesburg, VA 20176 Telephone: (703) 777-7491 Rating: 5 – Excellent Comments: James Thornton and his team of Thornton Landscaping & Lawn Maintenance does an excellent job. His company is dependable and follows through in a timely manner. Mr. Thornton does not have to advertise because his customers’ satisfaction markets his business through word of mouth.

Beverly & Weaver Samuel III (March 2010) |

He does the grey house on the north corner of Nichols and Bradfield which has the corner split rail fence. We have hired him to help us with spring clean up, mulching, planting and light trimming. He is terrific and we highly recommend him . He also has a very successful lawn mowing business that keeps him busy during the mowing season as well. If you decide to work with him he will be honest with you and account for every penny. Noel – (August 2010) |

Painting
| A-n-J Painting Rating: -25 Larry Townsend, Contractor 233 Shenandoah St., SE Home: 703-771-2335 Cell: 703-618-1821 Buyer Beware!! Larry Townsend does not hold a Business License. His work especially carpentry, deck restoration, etc. are way below standard. He does not use drop cloths when interior and exterior painting and unfortunately, paints (exterior) over rotten wood instead of repairing as promised. He hires (sub-contractors) and therefore does not guarantee their work. We have reported him to the Leesburg Police Department as well as contacted our Attorney. Unfortunately, because Larry Townsend does not hold a Business License, we are liable for any expenses related to Court costs, his Attorney costs, etc. for bringing him to trial. Note: Larry is a very ‘friendly’ guy, knocks on doors through out Woodlea and Greenway Farms, to obtain business. (June 2008) |
| Camann & Associates Rating = 5 Sterling, VA 703-444-4442 I like Dave’s work so much, that when we moved from Fairfax to Leesburg I asked him to paint our larger home based on the fine job he did on our townhouse. (April 2007) |
| Don Rogers Rating = 5 Purcellville 540-338-2817 Our house is a Cross home and has storm windows. Don has taken off the storm windows, replaced all the rotten wood found behind the storm windows, washed the windows before painting, replaced the clean storm window frames and windows. Don also refinished two tables we have as well as repairing a couple of kitchen chairs that had gotten broken. He does excellent work and is very thorough. He lives on the property of caterer Karen Fuog and is listed on her phone service. (McIntyre – October 2008) |

| Safe Guard Rating = -10 Warning: Terrible company – do not get these people! (April 2007) |
| Western Pest Services Rating = 5 703 273-4887 I have had a service agreement with this company since the summer we moved here. The service agreement is a little expensive, but was reduced by $100.00 the 2nd year. You don’t have to have a service agreement, though. Individual 30 day programs are available as well. Initially, I needed them for silverfish in the attic. It was a persistent problem, but Western was diligent and professional and I have not had a problem since that first summer with silverfish. I have been very pleased with the outcome of any concern we have reported to Western. (Dunn – Sept. 2007) |
Plumber

Roofer
| Cedar Shake and Shingles, Inc Rating = 5 703 631-2206 Dependable, efficient and honest. Had work done by them and was very pleased. Several months later a roofer, looking for work door to door told me I had two large holes in our roof made by squirrels. I called Cedar Shakes and told them about the report I received. They arrived 48 hrs. later and actually took pictures while on my roof to show there were no holes and to set our mind at ease. Also, once you become a customer, they will clean your gutters as well for $50.00. This is an approved installation company by the Cedar Shakes and Shingles Bureau. (Dunn – Sept. 2007) |

| Mike Gorman Roof Repairs Rating = 0 888-685-4373 Roof Repair Rip Off Beware of a Mike Gorman who goes door to door claiming to be reputable roof repair provider. He came to my door saying I had a (squirrel) hole in my roof. I had no evidence of either water leaks or a rodent infestation in the attic. I was taken in by the raconteur’s “good ol’ boy” charm and pronouncements of living by the gospel.In short, Mike Gorman did the following: He did not complete the job as promised. He did cash my $1000.00 check. He did not return phone calls. He did not stand behind his guarantee. If you call him at 888-685-4373 you will never get him “live.” Not to worry though, for his greeting says “your call is important to me” and closes with “have a blessed day.” How comforting. I have since contacted another firm to fix the Mike Gorman induced leak in my roof. It never leaked until his crew “repaired” it. |

| Gutterman Services Rating = 5 45888 Woodland Road Sterling 20166 703-430-4420 www.guttermanservices.com Gutterman Services did a great job on my standing seam metal roof and gutters, and they stand behind their work. I would give them a 5. (Stones – Aug 2010) |

| BST Construction, Inc. – Terry Singh Rating = 4 19923 Smith Circle, Ashburn, VA 20147 703-723-4200 Very good job and quick worker. (April 2007) |
| Perfect Pavements Rating = 5 Purcellville, VA (540) 882-9929 Calling the people at Perfect Pavements “sidewalk pavers” is like calling Michelangelo a cartoonist. In 1998, we chose Perfect Pavements to build and create a patio in the back of our home. In 2008 wanting a new and unique look to the front of our home, we called Perfect Pavements again. Little had changed in 10 years, they were prompt on returning phone calls, kept appoints, offered excellent design ideas and continued the tradition of performing quality work. I’m a repeat customer and may very well be a threepeat customer. Ask for Aaron Burns. (Collins – August 2008) |
Siding Contractors
| Virginia Aluminum Contractors Rating = 3.5 703-729-0060 Did an OK job replacing some siding. Best part is they can get aluminum siding which is getting hard to find as most home go to vinyl. If you need their service, get a pallet of siding and store extra in garage. (April 2007) |
