In addition to recommendations above, we'd love to hear from residents who have replaced windows/sliding glass doors.

Thanks!

Richard Ellis has done work for us and several neighbors, everything from building back steps on the deck to hanging a door and patching a hole in the roof. His specialty is carpentry and painting, but he's very competent with other sorts of work, although he doesn't do electrical work. His rates are very reasonable, he responds promptly, and he's a nice guy. His phone number is 703-899-5715.

own employees. We plan to contract with them for additional work.

Les: I was pleased with both the plumber, Danny White … small and family owned... Danny cleaned out my screens of calcium deposits, put in a new shower head, arrived on time and charged me $125. If memory serves, the company is R.B. White, but Danny White is the owner. Maybe Danny is a nickname. Phone is 703.922.5530 Cheryl Mendonsa
