Thanks for any help.

Where to start? So many topics, some of which have been addressed earlier, but here goes:
Cable - we use Century Link for everything. Fiber optic service. I like it
Insurance Company - We went through TV Insurance for the various policies we need for our home, golf carts, car, and rental property. Could be others, I'm probably just lazy.
Lawn Service - We use Dean's and are happy with them. They do bugs inside and out, and lawn mowing, shrubs, etc.
Electrician/handyman: depends on what you need done. Dave does most of ours since he was in the construction business for 40 years.
Garage stairs: We ordered from Home Depot and Dave installed. It was pretty simple and probably very cost effective for us. Total cost - something around $130 for the stairs.
Garage Floor finishers: We have not done - still discussing which way to go
If you're not going to be a FROG, I would definitely have someone check on your house, unless you only live a couple of hours away and will be in and out.
Others will have other recommendations and everyone has their favorites. We are very satisfied so far.
