New Post 1/16/24: Neighbor recommendation: Niles is new to the area, young and dedicated to his work. He loves what he does and it shows, he is so pleasant. He has a wide range of experience in the building industry. He is extremely resourceful, has found solutions to a couple of my more challenging projects. I hired him to paint my master bedroom and ensuite, hang heavy shelves and some light electrical work including fans in bedrooms, all to my complete satisfaction. He cleans up afterwards and his prices are reasonable, especially for the work he produces. I highly recommend Niles.

New Post: 5/30/17 Heating & AC (from Sophie, Turnberry)
I would like to recommend GIBSON’S HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING LLC for all air conditioning issues. Brett Gibson started out on his own a year ago. I got in touch with him while he was working for A/C Designs, where I always asked for him to do our service and repair, due to his professionalism. I was lucky to see his ad and get back in touch with him recently. He is courteous, on time, reasonable in price and will give the best advice with solutions that can save money.
He charges $55 for a yearly maintenance visit and $25 for a diagnostic service call. I highly recommend him and believe he deserves the business.

New Post 7/23/15 Handyan William Mote 591-3278

It is so nice to be able to have a handyman that you can trust, does a great job, very personable and fees are very reasonable and fair. Someone who actually returns your call in a timely manner. He does additions onto homes & porches. He has his own construction company and lives close by to do small jobs in the evenings and on the weekends. I highly recommend him. Thanks Judy Baker

New Post 6/28/15 Tile Work Recomendation
Here is a really good recommendation to put on your web site.
This is a tile installer, he just redid my master shower tile and was absolutely excellent. Cleaned up after working every day, and was very meticulous with his work. Extremely detailed oriented and really exceeded my expectations. My shower is now gorgeous. The only thing is, he has many jobs at one time and has projects with builders, so he will only work a few hours a day. Therefore, if someone has the patience he is definitely worth it.

Ken gives free estimates and is insured. His work is of very high
quality. He’s polite, courteous, and picks up after the job is done. Very reliable, very reasonable, and his work is beautiful. I have had Ken replace my tile in the master bathroom around the oval garden tub with travertine and replaced all the tile in the kitchen, entryway, and both bathrooms and they are all gorgeous. I give him high marks and would recommend him with a score of 10 out of 10. I plan to use him again when I need the backsplash after I purchase and install new cabinets and counters.

Handyman and Cleaning Lint from Dryer’s Exhaust
I contacted William Motes for a couple odd jobs around the house as per your recommendation, and was very satisfied with his work. One of the jobs he did was cleaning out the lint from my dryer’s exhaust and my dryer works so much better. He asked if you would add that as one of the jobs he does to his recommendation on the site. I think many people don’t realize how important it is to do that, as it is a fire hazard.
Flooring
Also, we had our floors redone, all previous laminate taken out and replaced with engineered wood throughout the house. The floor contractor we used had done my daughter’s townhouse including stairs to our complete satisfaction last year.. I would like to have him added to your site as a recommendation for all flooring including tile. His workmanship is excellent, cleaned up every day, was on time and his pricing is competitive. His name is Patrick Ortiz Flooring LLC master installer 904 814 9367. He deserves the mention.
Thank you for your hard work, we very much appreciate the site.

New Post 2/7/13: Wildflower Cafe & the Conch House
First an addition to the note about the restaurant…Wildflower Cafe. I went there this past Saturday, Feb. 1st. I arrived a half an hour early (3:30) for dinner and instead of being told to come back I was given a newspaper, a drink and the appetizer menu so I could have a snack while I waited for dinner to start at4:00. The surroundings are squeaky clean, the waitress friendly and attentive and the food (the German fare) was super! I ate the fish chowder w/blue crab meat and had the pork schnitzel (garnished w/pickeled red cabbage, smashed potatoes and sauted french cut stringbeans), followed by lemon cake for dessert. Yum! The meal was scrumptious and the service so good I felt like a princess. When I left at5 pmit was getting busy and I found out why…it was prime rib night. Everyone was loving it. I am definately returning to try other selections.
The decor of the restaurant was like a german cafe with a southern twist. The owners are World Golf residents as well, what a plus for our community.
Second restaurant find, the Conch House complete with a marina and hotel on the intercoastal. Their sign is located 4-5 blocks on the left after you cross the Bridgeof Lions
(east) out of Old St.Augustine. Water-front dining for lunch and dinner. The conch chowder, smothered calamari and creamy cheese grits were to die for! They have an extensive menu with desserts, wine/beer lists.
After your meal you can enjoy a strol down the docks to see the sun set with pelicans, seagulls, Note: When you make your left turn at their billboard sign,
look for
the hotel down on the right about 1/2 to 3/4 mile and turn
into the
parking lot.
Eat and enjoy,
Danna Lowe

LAB WORK – CONVENIENT LOCATION IN PUBLIX SHOPPING CENTER/MURABELLA
There is now a place right next to our Publix which does blood work and other lab tests. It’s so much easier than driving all the way to Quest orFlaglerHospital, etc. It’s located in the Flagler After Hours Care clinic at52 Tuscan Way, Suite 203. The office hours for blood work and lab tests are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:00 to 10:00 AM. Their phone number is 904-940-7750. I’ve gone there twice for blood work, and I’ve never had to wait. They haven’t been open that long, and I hope enough people will use it to justify their having an office there. It’s so convenient for all of us in the WGV area.
