I highly recommend Lucio Valencia-Flores and his team of painters. They did a great job painting the exterior trim of our house. They were timely and efficient and went the extra mile cleaning, scraping, and sanding where needed before painting. They are an extremely hard-working crew. Lucio is friendly and easy to work with, and his prices are fair. He can be reached by email at valencialucio16@gmail.com or call 434-327-0094. Submitted by John Lauler. October 2024

I can recommend Steve Speckhardt, owner of New Image Remodeling (540-836-0729, niremodeling757@gmail.com), as a reliable contractor. He repaired the water damage on my home's underflooring with new waterproofing materials, put in new insulation, and treated for mold and moisture.

If you need a new roof, I would like to recommend Quality Enterprise, 65 Whipporwill Way, Waynesboro. After a home inspection verified that we needed a new roof, we contacted Roy Robinson & Tim Bradley to submit a bid. Roy arrived with their estimate in hand. They did not need to walk the roof, measure, and calculate the supplies and time estimate because they used a satellite service to determine the time & costs. Other roofers had spent an hour or so measuring and inspecting. Photos provided by the home inspector helped pinpoint problem areas. The men and women who did the work quickly and efficiently did the work and cleaned up all debris in 3 1/2 days. I highly recommend this business. Contact them at 540-949-0566 or qeiroofing@gmail.com. Submitted by Carolyn Barrette. July 2024

I'd like to recommend Billy Campbell Construction (434-466-5725) for any remodeling projects. He completely remodeled my 1970s Treeloft house on Wintergreen mountain to mint condition. The quality of the finished product was beyond expectations. He is adept at all types of construction projects and has completed many total remodels on my street. His work is superior. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Submitted by Bill Chapin. July 2024

They were so courteous, and the price was reasonable. I give them high grades all the way around. They are coming back to replace aging pipes and valves under the sink. Submitted by Charles Murphy.

Look no further for tree service! Upon the advice of a neighboring homeowners' association, we hired Weber Tree Service to trim back the trees surrounding our property. What's not to like? Kevin Weber promptly responded, was flexible, scheduled the work, and stayed in touch until the work day. An added touch was Kevin's exuberant personality. He and his crew were professional, did a great job, and left without a trace. The bill? More than reasonable! Call or text Kevin at 434-566-8501. Support this small and upcoming local business!

Daryl Morse (434-944-4378) has a dozen detailed recommendations in the WBB's directory from people who have used his help in their yards, but one point isn't as clear as it should be: Mr. Morse is professional. He listens. He's got pro equipment, a big, well-maintained truck with a large trailer, and he knows what he's doing, as we saw demonstrated recently when we needed our elaborate hedges brought under control. He's a hands-on businessman, but he has some good help in the summer. Submitted by Charles Batchelor. June 2024

For all your landscaping needs, I recommend Daryl Morse (434-944-4378).

On top of his expertise, he is good company, on time, and reasonable. Submitted by Mary Gurr. April 2022
I found Darryl Morse on the WBB Directory and used him to take down a couple of big dead and dying trees that could fall and damage both my mountain home and possibly my neighbors. He did a yeoman’s job at a fair price, took care of the debris, and left things cleaner and neater than before he started. He even took out a couple of smaller dead trees as a “bonus” to me without my requesting it nor did he charge extra for it. I can wholeheartedly recommend him if you are in need of his services.

I heartily recommend Daryl Morse for your tree work. He has helped me for years; he cuts down and breaks up limbs, trims, or whatever is needed at that time. He either fills a dump truck with all the limbs or brings his shredder. He has a powerful chainsaw that seems as if it is cutting through butter. I always buy mulch from him, too—he has the best price and dependable delivery. He can spread mulch, seed, cut grass, bush hog—you name it. He’ll also haul away your own piles of brush.

For all living in Stoney Creek and Wintergreen’s beautiful mountains and forest, we understand one challenge is pest control.

Enter Stephan Peters, owner of Champion Pest Control (434-906-0574) who we discovered on Nextdoor with multiple recommendations. Stephan came to our property and executed a proactive pest management plan after a thorough inspection. He is conscientious, flexible, and competitively priced.
