CONCIERGE  and VENDOR SERVICES   

Service - after the Sale - Vendors (below)

My  personal Concierge Service program puts you in touch with local service providers to help you obtain the variety of services associated with buying, selling or maintaining your home.  Just give them a call!

This program doesn't end after you move in. 

So, if you need assistance maintaining your home, just give me a call and I will put you in touch with a list of local service providers.  I do not accept any referral incentives from any vendor.

See my Legal Statement, below.  This list was developed as a "general" aid in finding various vendors.  A starting place for your search.  I do not "recommend" any vendor.  Buyer Beware!

This information changes all the time.                  

Vendors and Resources

Please be advised, that if your home was built before 1978 it may contain lead-based paint.

Make certain that your contractor, or any person you hire to work on your home is certified.   Here are the links:

  The links on the box to the left will work.

You may also want to have your home tested by a Certified Lead Inspector.  This applied to occupants, owners, buyers and sellers.  This is a serious issue and new rules are now in effect.
