Angie's List

We recently discovered that the Southern NH area is not completely developed on Angie's List.  Because its in the early stages of development, its free to use for one year (at which time you can choose to cancel).

During this time, you won't find a large variety of service companies or reports on the List, but to speed up the process you can help grow the List by submitting reports in any of the more than 500 categories we rate—plumbers, landscapers, housecleaners, party clowns, veterinarians, dentists, pediatricians, etc. And tell your friends and neighbors, too! The more reports the List gets in your area, the more useful it becomes.

Go to  http://www.angieslist.com/ to sign up - it gives you two different options - a Boston area list to pay for or the grassroots for Southern NH.

If we have done work for you in the past we would appreciate any reviews you would be willing to write on our Angie's List page.

Laminate Countertops

A nice way to change the look of your kitchen is new countertops. While granite is sometimes too expensive - and not always safe on older cabinets - laminate countertops have come a long way.

From new colors and finishes that mimic the granite look to great new edges check out this link:
