| 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.

PC Components |
Computer repair - in Folsom. They guarantee all their work. I have had a remarkable history with them. Many times they have helped me over the phone and talked me out of buying something when there was a simple solution. On the other hand, they have fixed my older computers several times and we bought a new computer for our daughter in law recently. Chuck Absolutely stay away from Best Buy and Geek Squad. |

Strobelli's Pizza |
Pizza - we have a new pizza parlor in the neighborhood. Strobelli's Pizza is located in the strip mall where Taco Bell is located (on the corner of Madison and Main). We ate there this last weekend (4 April) and were very impressed. Not only was the pizza the best but the owner is friendly and enthusiastic. His name is Jay. His dream is for it to be a "neighborhood friendly" pizza parlor where neighbors and friends can meet and enjoy his versatile menu of pizza, sandwiches, salad and appetizers. He has two large flat screen televisions for sports-minded patrons to enjoy. Next time your family feels like pizza, go in and introduce yourself. His pizza dough and sauce are made daily from scratch, I guarantee you'll taste the difference! ~Cary Meade (5/22/09) | ||

Hi Neighbors, We went to dinner at a new Italian restaurant in Folsom. The food was outstanding! There were four of us and each ordered something different, all four entrees were wonderful. The food is as fresh as you can get. (Cary Meade) | ||

El Patio |
Since we are sharing places where we've gone in the neighborhood.... I would like to recommend "El Patio" .... I think that is what it's called. They're located in the Raley's Shopping Center facing Hazel kiddie corner to Hancocks. They're a Mexican restaurant. The food and service are very good, and it is nice. They have a patio. Good selection too! Try it if you're in the mood for Mexican food. (Olympia and Bill Zellmer) | ||

I needed someone to help with some heavy "Spring Cleaning". I couldn't believe what a truly thorough job she did and in a timely manner. I got her name from two other neighbors in our neighborhood that use her monthly and highly recommended her. Cary Ann Meade | |

Mike Murphy |

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. | |

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.

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. Lauren McLachlan

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. | |

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. | ||
