Aneva Black 916 966-6482

Window Cleaning Service

She takes out the screens, washes the windows in and out, cleans the tracks, cleans the screens in and out, and puts them back in. Part of her service is cleaning all the mirrors in the house. I live in the two story model and she only charges $95.00! AND, she's trustworthy, fast and very pleasant to be around. Thank You, Cary Ann Meade

Patterson Heating & Air Conditioning

During the heat wave on the 4th of July weekend, our air conditioning went out.  We called several reputable services in the area to come look at it on an emergency basis.  We were told by most that we needed a new AC unit. We found Chris's  business online, and he was willing to come look at it for a very reasonable price.  Rather than selling us on a new AC, he said that we had a few more years left in the system, and expressed confidence that he could fix it. He referred us to the local hardward store for the part rather than overcharging us for one of his own.  And we've had a cool house ever since.

Recommendation
Mike Murphy
916 369-7511
MM Roofing
He does excellent work for reasonable rates, and cleans up after the job is done. His brother, Brian, is my handyman (455-8960). He charges $35/hour, whatever the job, and does everything from plumbing to landscape to yard work to installing drywall in my garage. They're both really nice guys, which makes it even more pleasant to work with them.

Bob Clegg
916 725-9230
Citrus Heights
 I can recommend someone.  He is licensed as a painting contractor, but he is a few years older than us and has done/can do just about anything.  We have been fixing up/remodeling our house (it's 30 years old), and he did the drywall repair work needed, removed the popcorn from our ceilings, and painted the interior - it looks beautiful.  He is in the process of planning a re-landscaping of our front yard (I've seen pictures of yards he has already done, and they are lovely), and he does construction-type jobs, also (among other things).  We will probably have him re-do our patio cover next year.  He is an extremely hard worker, has very good ideas for how to do things, and is very thorough and detail-oriented.

RAI Builders
I got this one on good recommendation from the Del Webb office.
Russell  Stone
916 635-4180

We have used and successfully recommended a licensed contractor by the name of Russell Stone.  He really seems to care about doing a good job, and he is very inexpensive.

Roseville

I highly recommend Darrel Haskin.  He graduated a few years after us, and he lives about two blocks from RHS.  He's a general contractor and does all kinds of projects, from fence building to electrical work to building add-ons and remodels.  He's great!

The best, I have used him for 4 projects and I will be using him for more.
Roy Crimrine
916 833-2666

Licened contractor (marine vet ). He builds decks and fences.

 

Geoff

I not only highly recommend Geoff, but I know he and his family personally.  He is an honest, hard working individual who owns his own company & does the work himself.  He re-did our back deck with trecks planks as we requested and it looks superb, he has painted the interior of our home, consulted on design and colors, and he has worked on other "honey-do" projects as well in or home.

 

 
Anthony  Jackson
nthnyjcksn@yahoo.com

Anthony Jackson is a contractor I believe. He is working on the remodel for Spiritual Life Center's offices. I suggest you get in touch with him.

 

Soslan
916-224-6083
Soslan, an employee at home depot in the Mill Works dept does side jobs and from experience he does real good work.  He is currently building a fence for a friend of ours and I have no problem referring him to someone who needs work done. He is willing to come see what you have in mind and give you an estimate at that time.
Paul Speers 
916 768-2437

Rocklin

paulbspeers@att.net

Paul was recommended to me by my Realtor when escrow closed on our home last year.  She trusts him.  And so do we!  He's a General Contractor so can do many things, not just one.  We've had Paul rip out and replace part of a wall to address a leak from a stained glass window --- no more leaks!  It was amazing to not be able to easily see where the cuts are.  He's fixed plumbing leaks for us.  He's the guy who installed the electrical and got our spa up and running. We've also had him build a double gate fence to replace the fallen fence that was on the front of our property.  Now there's a wide enough gate to allow friends with RVs to park in our yard.  Paul is friendly, cheerful, thorough and on time.  He cleans up after himself.  He's our go-to guy when we need things done.

Mark Christensen 
916-524-2011

Mark Christensen has done work for both Sharon Young & I. (Also Janice Douglas)  He's reasonable & competent.  I'm planning on hiring him again just as soon as I can.

 

800 626-1677

El Dorado Restoration

I just had roof, drywall and inside work done. They will be possibly working on my deck in the future.   My State Farm Insurance company recommended them to me and they have been absolutely fabulous and very professional and great work!

 

Rick Therian
530-906-6111
He is very good.  Rick and Troy have worked together for a very long time, about 20 years.  They are both contractors and can do anything, but it is Rick's business.  They are not fast, but they do good work, they are dependable.
Bill Van Riper
916-350-4796.   
Orangevale
 Felix & I have been very pleased with all the work that Bill Van Riper did for us.  He is a licensed contractor and works alone.    I think he has done several decks this summer.  I can name some of the work Bill did for Felix & me.  He built a 2 story barn, built a work shop and second story storage area above the workshop in our large 40 x 60 metal building,  built a 2 story office building with a breezeway to our main house, and remodeled our entire house in Garden Valley, including the large deck and foot bridge.  He has laid lots of cement and rebuilt our garage.  Also he remodeled our commercial duplex property.  He also installs wood stoves.  He built wooden stairs out the back side of the house approx 25 feet high so we could get up the tall hill to get to the barn and metal bldg.  Here in Orangevale he built the front building that Golden State Art Works is in.  I believe he built the entire house that I now live in behind my son's shop.  He built a home in Georgetown and one in Shelter Cove.    We have been very pleased with all the work he has done for the Othon Family .  He is honest, hard worker and very reliable.

Rich
916 474-0332
He was supervisor/foreman on several construction projects.  I was married to a master electrician and so I have been in construction environment and I know what is good and what is not.  He has done work for me and several of my friends and they praise and praise his work.  He also does the construction of the backgrounds of the church plays and things for kids.  You couldn't ask for a nicer person.

Folsom

I was at a friend of mine the other day, fixing a pipe that the siding guys had to cut. The job they did on the house is great. I have been in the plumbing over 50 years, this is one of the best I have seen. 

 

Mike Wiley
916-663-1874
Loomis

He tore the entire front of my house off to repair some rot, and he built a nice arbor for me.  He also installed three new windows, so I can recommend lots of kinds of work he does very well.  

 

Kent
These guys are spot on…ask for Kent
Frank Solis
916 201-3540
He installed the front & garage entry doors (not the big one), a tiled floor & bathroom for my brother who had a stroke; he installed the simple vanity to his specifications.  He's done some other work but I can't remember because I can't think of them.  He's a good man.  He was a Marine
Laurie Hale
530 367-4929
Silver Crest Builders,
I was talking this over with my spa maintenance guy and he indicated he had a close friend who was a contractor (general) and was actively seeking work.  She had just completed a $400k home in Foresthill.  She came by and gave me an estimate and the job is 80% done in two days.
