Hi L. - my husband has worked out of the Lake Zurich area for 10 years and been in business for 17 years. He is honest, hard working, and resonably priced. You can talk with some of his former customers in Lake Zurich for reassurance. (In fact, one of his customers in Lake Zurich referred him to me when I needed a garage to be built for the house I owned as a single girl. He gave me a great offer, and we have a wonderful garage!)

His company is incorporated, and he is bonded and insured.

You can reach Chris at ###-###-####.

I have used Nino Macias for jobs as small as painting to building a laundry room in my garage. He's reasonable, honest, effecient, and reliable. He's a family man and others on mamasource have used him and thanked me personally on my e-mail. His # is 1-###-###-####. No job is too small. He's getting busy, so don't delay. Feel free to ask me anything. He even updated all my electric and put recessed lighting in my kitchen, frontroom, and hallway. He's turned my house into looking like a brand new home.

Hi L.,

Here's the guy that I have used.
Casey Armstrong
445 East High Street
Mundelein, IL 60060
cell: ###-###-####

His electricians installed a ceiling fan & garbage disposal for me. I will be having him repair our gutters & other things once the weather warms up. I got his info through a website called www.servicemagic.com where they match you up with a couple people/companies at a time. I like it b/c they have to go through some sort of screening process & I assume the contractors pay something for the service referrals. Good luck!

L.,
If you still need work, feel free to contact me. My husband is a licensed, insured, electrician and has contacts with people we would use in every trade you might need.
My personal suggestion is to use contractors who specialize in the type of work you need so you know the work gets done properly (and to local codes). It may be a bit more expensive from time to time, but can insure you get quality work and avoid potential headaches later. Remember the old saying....."you get what you pay for".
Good luck!

I have always used the Handyman Connection and have had good success. I usually make a list of little things I need to get done and when I have a full list I call them to do it all in a day or two.
