Default My contractor experience thus far

These are the services we've had performed so far and thought it would be helpful to share my experience. We had solar panels put on the roof for solar pool heat and Jack's From Jack's Solar was our contractor - 352-267-4903. They came when they said they would, worked like dogs and got the job done on time. Very good to work with and I would recommend.

Tile Seal....actually grout seal. We used Professional Carpet and Tile - Pat Moore - 352-516-3565. He was very pleasant to work with, came when he said he would did a great job on the tile and went above and beyond to make us happy. I would recommend.

We are using Stellar for our landscaping - 352-553-2597. They have been great so far. They mow, trim, pest control, fertilize and clean up well when they are finished. I would again recommend.



We also used Tim The Tool Man (Tim Miller) to put our attic stairs in 352-217-0561. He came when scheduled, was very pleasant to work with and got the job done quickly. Would recommend. We also hired him to come back next week for other odd jobs.

We also used Custom Home Closets for our office layout and all closets 352-748-9181. Tammy was very good to work with. She is patient and is willing to come to your house to do the layout. They install them next week.

For crown molding we used Creative Finish Carpentry (Mario Viola). 352-552-6555. These guys are like machines. They get the job done in record time and are very pleasant to work with. Would recommend.

For our window treatments we used 48 hour blinds 352-330-7310. Although Rick is hard to understand, he is eager to please. The blinds aren't in yet so We don't have them installed, but they did put temporary blinds up in our bedroom so we could sleep there until our
plantation shutters arrived. He is good to work with and would recommend.

Hope this is helpful to others when hiring contractors to do work on their home.

We also used The Villages Shuttle for our trip from the airport to The Water Front Inn. We had a great experience. They were on time, the van was very comfortable and the ride was smooth. I will use again.

We had our pool built when we built the home and The Villages uses T&D Pools. Vera was a pleasure to work with and they did a wonderful job. If anyone is looking to have their pool cared for T&D charred 20.50/wk to do it all. I would recommend their service. They are there every week like clock work. They have been servicing our pool for 5 weeks now and we are happy with their service.

Lastly, our builder was Paul Mulbauer and I cant say enough about him. His workmanship is outstanding. He answers our calls when we call him and he even stopped by the house to answer questions. Our contractors commented on how well the details in the house were executed. He is a real perfectionist and professional. We really got lucky on this one. We are extremely happy with everything so far.
