Landscaping: Knock on some neighbors’ doors and ask them who they recommend.

Due to COVID, I bought my first home in The Villages sight unseen and moved here six months later. Meanwhile, there were a lot of things to keep up. I found out the name and number of my next door neighbor, asked her who she used for lawn mowing, yard work, pool cleaning, etc. Then I hired all the same people. They all love having side-by-side customers because it saves so much time.

For roofing, I would suggest McGinnis or McHales. I wouldn't trust Angi's List to find a reputable local roofer, or any reputable contractor.
