I'm sure some of you own homes/businesses, and do your own work on them also. However, a few of my issues are beyond my realm of knowledge, and I need help.

Therefore I was wondering if any of you had a trusted...

* Electrician
* Glass/window repair
* Plumber

...to recommend.

For others, if you have hired any handymen to do random fix it up jobs, and they were good, list them here.

^i still haven't been able to replace that workhorse strainer, even with a toothed wrench.

Don't get Jeff Jones to do electric work; he takes a long time, is sloppy, and charges out the ying yang.

I'd recommend Bigblueram. He'll do what you ask AND put 24's on it, no extra charge.

Archie's Stump and Tree Removal--has their stuff together. Good price, clean, efficent and honest service. I was really impressed.

Integrated Landscapes--has pretty competative rates, and delivers on what was promised (which is usually very difficult to get from a landscaper!)

Knightdale Home Improvement built our deck, and it's awsome. We got a good price and a really quality product. Again, Vic was really honest and upfront.

(Clearly we've only had outdoor stuff done thus far).

Can anyone recommend a good handyman/repair service that could come to my house and fix my broken dryer? I live in Apex, so anything in Raleigh, Cary, or Holly Springs could be an option.

I don't really have the money to buy a new dryer right now, but I guess if anyone knows of any super deals, I wouldn't ignore the suggestions.

It's a GE fwiw.

EDIT: Should I just call up GE? It's not too old, but I don't know much about it since it came with the house I bought.

know anyone who does sheetrock/drywall repair? i've got a hole in my ceiling that i need patched. it's a small hole 8"x15" at most, but it's a popcorn ceiling.

i hate popcorn ceilings.

it doesn't have to match perfectly, but i'm hoping for a decent blending.

Electrician: If we need work done again, that my bf can't do, we'll call Tom Roche. Don't have his number handy. Find the number for Lynn's Renovation Gang, and just leave a message for Tom. He's her husband.
Plumber: I'd probably PM BigBlueRam
Glass/window: I got nothing.

lol freshman year i could have lent you my services as a plumber. as many times as our shower/toilets/sinks in Lee Hall got backed up, i got plenty of experience.
