Finding A Handyman / Carpenter /
Contractor for Smaller Jobs
You should always interview and screen
any contractors before making a decision on who to hire. You
should also make sure that you have the work to be done and the price in
writing before beginning any projects. Individuals on this list
are recommended by website participants, but that is not a
guarantee of future performance, i.e. do your homework, ask questions
and get it in writing before the project starts.

individuals have been referred to us -- CLICK

Thanks very much to Lynn
Hall (Capital Area
PWP member) for putting the list together.
