Let me respond to some questions...

1) When most folks have hardscaping done, the landscapers will move the plant beds and boundaries, but never move the sprinkler heads. When The Villages installs your sprinkler zones, usually zone#2 is for plants and the rest are for your lawn. This is good, because you typically water your lawn longer than the plants. If the hardscapers do not move some heads and keep all the plant zone for plants and all the lawn zones for the grass, you can end up overwatering and under watering areas.

2) There are many crown molding companies in The Villages. One of the best is JSR molding. There are some others.

3)For Solar tubes I would stick with The Solar Guys, only because they are the biggest, and if you have a problem,(very rare) you know they will most likely be around 10 years from now.

4) Usually for Electricians sticking with whoever did your home insures that no one could say, "The other guy did it".

I'm sorry, I do not have a deep list of referrals....I only refer companies that I have first hand dealings with. I am not "in bed" with anyone as it is not ethical.

I know you did not ask....but beware of some water system sales folks who will harass you the first week you move in. I like NOVA filter systems....you can search here for reviews. I have that filter and like it.

Best advice I can give new homeowners is do a GOOD checklist within 30 days...some things are covered for only 30 days. If the builder says wait, get that in writing. We also do these checklists for folks who do not want to do it, but we will always find more in 10 months as the home settles, etc.

Hope this helps!

Frank
