Default Handyman

Need a handyman to install a water softener conditioner unit and attic stairs. I sent a pm to handiman a couple of days ago and have heard nothing. I don't think he's in here any more. Suggestions would've appreciated.

And.... What did VG do that has The Villages all excited???

We used Alan Byer 352-205-7504 (Minor Electrical, wood) to put in attic stairs and a number of other things here. He'll tell you if there is something he can't do.

Another vote for Alan Byer. He's honest, reliable, reasonable and just a genuinely good guy on top of knowing his stuff.

And when you get a recommendation from Redwitch, that's worth a lot.

For my attic stairs I used B&B III Home Services. It's a family owned company of fellow Villagers. Bernie Coluccio and his son did a great job at a fair price, and what made their installation so nice compared to some others I've seen is that they take the time to paint the door and trim white to match the ceiling.

Bernie also is very skilled at most all handyman needs around the home and does his job quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend him for handyman work.

Took your advice and I am not sorry. VERY competent and yes, a very nice guy.
