Hi neighbors! We just bought a house in Cedar Glen and need some work done before we fully move in. Looking for reliable, licensed contractors/handymen for:

Plumbing repair (leaky kitchen faucet)
Electrical work (adding outdoor lighting)
Some drywall patching and painting
Fence repair

Would really appreciate recommendations from folks who've had good experiences with local service providers. Want to support local businesses!

Thanks in advance!

Recommendation: I can vouch for HandymanBob! He did excellent work on our bathroom remodel last year. Professional, on time, and very reasonable prices.

For electrical work specifically, I'd also suggest Miller County Electric. They've been in business here for over 20 years and really know the older homes in our area.

Jill, make sure whoever you hire is familiar with the building codes here - they can be a bit different from other counties.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Jill!

While you're doing improvements, you might want to consider adding a security system. With all the recent concerns in our area, many families are upgrading their home security.

I specialize in residential security systems and can work with your other contractors to coordinate installation. Happy to give you a quote - no pressure!

Bob does great work, by the way. I've worked with him on several jobs.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the recommendations!

Bob came out Saturday morning and gave us a very thorough estimate. Really impressed with his professionalism. We're going to have him do the plumbing and drywall work.

Also had Miller County Electric come out - they'll handle the outdoor lighting installation next week.

This community is so helpful! Thanks for welcoming us to Miller County. Looking forward to getting settled and being good neighbors.
