Augusta Aluminum Gutterworks 540-280-6948

,

We used Augusta Aluminum Gutterworks last year. Phone number is (540) 280-6948. Cooper and Cody Coffey were great. Professional, efficient, and very nice young men. They took off our old gutter guards which were useless and cleaned out all our gutters; they have a high roofline too!. They cleaned up after themselves and gave us a good price. Maria Spence.

Marshall White - 434-996-7402

,

I recommend Marshall White for his exceptional work in doing our bathroom shower remodel. His design suggestions were top-notch; he completed the work in short order and was able to keep all his appointments - in my experience, a rare thing for many contractors. His prices were reasonable, and I know of others in the community that has utilized him with similar results. The work is high quality and was done in record time. Marshall White can be reached by phone at 434 996-7402. Submitted by Ron Cote.

Mansfield's Handyman Service - 434-361-1842

,

I would like to recommend the work of Rob Mansfield as a handyman for various services. He helped me last year with some plumbing issues and also with some critter issues. Submitted by David Phillips. July 2021

Rob Mansfield is a long-time Wintergreen contractor. He's an all-around nice guy who doesn't laugh when you call him in to take over the repair projects you tried and failed to do yourself. Over the years Mansfield's Handyman Service has fixed a leak in my roof when no one else would come for weeks, installed a ceiling fan, put in light fixtures, rewired the electrical outlets on our deck, provided some major carpentry work, and more. He was a godsend when we bought our 35+-year-old mountain house. mansfieldhandymansvc@aol.com; 434-361-1842; cell 434-962-7442. Charles Batchelor. September 2018

GF&M Glass & Remodeling 434-263-6918

,

GF&M Glass & Remodeling is the name of Gordon Miller's business, but he was the contractor recommended in 2014 when our 35+-year-old house on the mountain required some extensive work and thoughtful re-engineering to repair the floor joint that had rotted. It wasn't easy or cheap, but they did it right. They have also installed a patio door for us and replaced the cracked window with safety glass that had to be done from the outside–three stories up–since the window in the shower was framed in tile. His unflappable crew of carpenters and deck builders has been working around Wintergreen for decades and has seen it all. 434-263-6918; 434-907-0300 cell; email gfmglass@aol.com. Charles Batchelor.

Huffman Siding 540-377-2615

,

We talked to everyone we could to find the best person to put up new cedar siding on our mountain house in 2013. The one name came up time and again Bobbie Huffman. "This is the guy you want," we were told when we explained we wanted a high-quality job. We got three bids from well-known Wintergreen contractors and Huffman's was the highest, but only slightly, so we took the advice we were given with high expectations which were exceeded. Just to give you an idea: Each of the cedar boards were stained offsite first, with each piece of siding measured and cut for its space. The boards were stained again onsite on both sides; after each cut the ends had stain applied. Any exposed ends–even tiny spots–were wrapped with metal. And so on. It seemed to take forever, but it was well worth the time and money. He works with Hardie Board siding as well as wood. His crew also installed a new window, carefully rebuilding the frame. I'm told he also builds great decks. 540-377-2615; huffmansiding@gmail.com. Charles Batchelor.

Associated Fabricators 434-293-2333

,

We were very pleased with the custom-built wrought iron railings for our front porch made and installed by Associated Fabricators in May. The small Charlottesville business had no issues with coming out to Stoney Creek. They do all types of metalwork: steps, railings, iron stairways, metal gates, and iron fences. https://www.weldingfabricatorsva.com 434-293-2333. Submitted by Charles Batchelor.

Mountain Services - 434-325-7711

,

I’ve used Mountain Services (434-325-7711) for years. They replaced our water heater when we lived in the Cliffs and I expect to be calling them soon to replace the water heater in our house. Submitted by Robert Peirce. March 2022

Because it was a relatively small job, I had trouble finding anyone willing to do my fireplace stone repair until I called Mountain Services (434-325-7711). José did a beautiful repair job. I’m going to have him back in the spring to do some touch-up work on the outside stone. He can do an entire fireplace if that’s what you need but he may be the only one around willing to handle these smaller stonework jobs we all run into.

I have used Mountain Services to take care of my property for the past six years. When we first bought the house they closed off a screened-in porch, replaced the decking, and did a lot of other stuff. Since then I’ve called them on numerous occasions for other things. They’ve never let me down. I also retain them to check the property when I’m not here.

Also, I had no spare stone pieces around so I went to Valley Building Supply in Staunton (540-886-3990). They have cultured stone from many sources. I was able to find an almost exact match. My bet is you can match pretty much anything there. Submitted by Robert Peirce.

Wintergreen M&M - 434-996-2176

• Sam and Shawn Mazlack of Wintergreen M&M (434-996-2176) just installed new windows on my all-cedar-wood home on the mountain. As always, they did a beautiful job. Their craftsmanship in integrating windows with the house was first-class. The price was fair and reasonable. Submitted by Charles Murphy. June 2022

• We hired M&M to do a serious revamp of the exterior of our home that included power washing everything, repairing as needed, caulking all seams, and painting both trim and siding. I was impressed that the workers were taking the time to do the job right and not hurrying to just get it done. We were very pleased with their work and would hire them again. Sam Mazlack, the senior partner, is very easy to work with and can be contacted at 434-361-0071. Submitted by Russ Russell. 11/17/2019

• Sam and Shawn Mazlack with Wintergreen M&M recently completed a major job on my all-cedar wood house. They rebuilt one chimney chase due to rot and replaced rotting wood on a dormer. Their crew was professional, competent, polite and very neat. They completed the job in a timely manner at a reasonable price. They did a beautiful job from start to finish. And they were a pleasure to work with. Submitted by Charles Murphy. 10/6/2019

• We recommend Sam Mazlack for deck power washing and staining. Our deck looks renewed and fantastic! His number is 434-361-0071; cell is 434-996-2176. Submitted by Tim and Carol Hade. 2018

• We want to join others on this email who have recommended Sam Mazlack and Wintergreen M&M for deck pressure-washing and staining. They did an outstanding job on our deck in Stoney Creek during July, despite limited workdays because of the continuous rain. Submitted by David Pace and Marsha Rhea. 2018

• Sam and Shawn Mazlack of Wintergreen M&M has worked for me for 15 years. They have done new construction, remodeling, and fixing. They rebuilt my parking deck, painted inside and out, and constructed a swale along the side of my property to properly deal with stormwater runoff, and installed a new bathroom. The carpenters rebuilt the interior stairs in my home, carefully matching the antique recycled wood on my main floor. Their tile work is impeccable. They are honest, efficient, and reasonably priced. They can be reached at 434-361-0071 or 434-996-2176. Their email is sammazlack@hotmail.com. Submitted by Sue Carlson.

Apple Door Systems - 540-943-7180

Last week we had a very good experience with Apple Door Systems (540-943-7180, based in Waynesboro) in getting our garage door repaired. The crew came out the day after we called, they had the part that our 20-year-old huge wooden garage door needed, and the cost was very reasonable. They even offer immediate emergency services. They have no issues in coming to Wintergreen. Submitted by Charles Batchelor.

Never Dark Generator - 434-975-3275

We highly recommend Never Dark Generator if you are considering installing a whole house generator. Having experienced the eye of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and running our diesel generator there for 9 months we are particular about our generators. Never Dark provided superior service from beginning to end. Never Dark are generator specialists - that’s all they do. Even the county inspector praised them - during both visits. The first consultation was clear, succinct, no pressure. The representative described all options available and the pricing was clear. Everything is included in the pricing - county permit and inspection coordination as well as coordination with Amerigas . There were no hidden fees. The office staff was courteous and helpful throughout the process. The install crew was professional, polite and obviously very skilled at what they do. They were neat and clean with the install and walked us through the entire process. A great experience. https://neverdarkgenerators.com. Toll-Free: 877-638-3275 or 434-975-3275. Beth Frasher
