Hello all,

My wife and I are closing on a new home in Cason Hammock at the end of January and we are thrilled. I need recommendations for an electrician, a leader and gutter service and a whole house water system. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Nova is great for water treatment, we used the electrician that wired our house- their name will be on the electric panel and our house came with gutter. Finally not sure what a leader is for or what they do.

Don't let Pegasus overcharge. People have paid from $1800 to $3500 for same system. I have Pegasus.

I second Hill’s Gutters (D.J. Hill 352-245-7462). We just paid $1400 for gutters on an Iris.
I also second Nova (Brad 352-566-2649 Novafilters.com) prices available on their website

NOVA water filter is good and affordable. Had it in our last house and current home. Bob Novack lives in The Villages as well.

Agree on Lenhart. Top notch electricians.
Gutters - save your money they are not needed. This is not Ohio. The ground soaks up water like a sponge.

Well, the rain that falls off the back of our home hits the mulch and splashes mud/dirt into our lanai... It is also staining our driveway and soaks everything when we open the garage door when raining...

Stipes for gutters get the 6 inch. Did you have them where you used to live? Yes for the heavy rains in the summer months.

For the electrician you might consider the people that wired your house. At closing you'll get a list of the contractors used on your home. We had Galaxy and had them do some additional low voltage work for us including putting rear channel speakers in our ceiling. Very helpful and reasonable. Also had them put in a Whole House surge suppressor, as recommended by Mike Holmes. Can't be too careful in the Lightning Capital of the world.

We have Pegasus for Water and used the Guru Gutter Guys, aka Roof Guys and Solar Guys. They had a great price and provided great service.

Welcome to The Villages!

I have used Meeks plumbing for repairs. I needed to replace a leaking water softener. I purchased an Aquasure one myself from Home Depot and Meeks installed . I made sure the unit would handle the hardness of the water as reported by TV and that it recharged based on consumption - not on a schedule - thus reducing the salt requirement.
For electricians - I have use IN-Charge several times and they are reasonable.
I have been using Broward Factory Service for warranty on appliances, etc. and it worked nicely - no cost for a water heater replacement.
I'm struggling with irrigation system issues. I've used 3 different companies and they all want to replace the entire system rather than just fix/adjust the heads.

Second the recommended Stipes for gutters. They will protect your foundation and home.

I recommend you start with the electric company that wired your home. Home Warranty Dept can answer a lot of your questions about material and ‘suggested’ contractors.

We installed a Pegasus system. I’m thinking of replacing it with a filter system from Kiley and Sons. I think it is superior to Nova. Not that Nova is bad. About $1000 including water softener filter. Reportedly, the Kiley water softener filter is more effective that Nova’s.

I use Massey for sprinkler system. Very happy with their work after 3 years.
