Recommended Contractors

House Cleaning by Rosalia, 20+ years of experience in Northern Virginia. Will clean weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. References available upon request. Interested? Contact 571/435-6897.

John Warren (Barnack) recommends Smith Roofing out of Woodbridge (703/590-8829). John had a leak in his kitchen ceiling and called Mr. Smith.  It turned out that John’s problem was just couple of problem nails.

We read the winter prep article in last week's enews and it motivated us to recommend Mr. Horacio Garcia (571/439-9384) to clean rain gutters. He did a great job at a reasonable price. He also trimmed overgrown trees back to the size and shape that makes you glad you didn’t tear them out and start over.  But the best part Edie says is that Horacio took those tasks off their winter prep list.

Theodora Poitevin used Neighborhood General Lawn Care to de-thatch her yard last year and thought they did a good job. Contact Ismari Menjivar at 703/477-3673.

Landscaping Contractor Recommendation – John & Lois Hoffmann want to give a big shout out to Wilber Serrano of J and F landscaping.

J & F Specialties is owned and operated by Village resident, John Boynton (Truro Court). You may recall that previously John offered to help older residents or those with physical restrictions with home projects. Even though that program has ended (for now), some of the beneficiaries want to thank him. Here is one such note from Andrew Bilski (SVD):

House Cleaning / Lidia Elizabeth Palacios (AKA “Betty”) – has cleaned my home and several other village homes for many years. Betty has proven herself trustworthy, thorough and very efficient. She and her assistant Rosio will clean your home before or after special events/parties, weekly, twice per month or monthly.

I would like to recommend Homestead Tree Service, (703) 644-2382, for any tree work you might need. They removed some large high branches overhanging my house today, definitely a job for experts, and they did a super job.

Abdullah Hagi (Edmonton Court), a rising WSHS Senior and certainly a jack of many trades, though still learning in order to become a master. Power washing, leaf raking, garden bed prep, gutter cleaning, mowing grass, car washing / detailing and just about anything you may need and willing to invest in the lad’s growth into manhood. He has done enough work for me to earn my (John Cooley's) recommendation. Text him or call him at 703/886-6794.

Appliance Repair – one of the most often questions we get is who do we recommend to repair home appliances.
