[This recommendation deprecates http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bovik/homes/contractor/399
 I recently learned that Dave's business phone number has changed from the one
 listed there -- TFMcG]

 Harry,

 I'd like to recommend my friend David Schaffner, proprietor of
Schaffner Maintenance Inc, as a good choice for anyone looking
for an honest contractor. I'll let him speak for a moment:

> electrical to just about anything. We also do small remodeling jobs. We

 I think he mentioned roofs specifically because he did recently send
a crew to fix my roof. He has also done some spot repairs to my deck
(replacing rotten planks), including a very neat job of adding a support
to the main beam, which was sagging. In my experience he has always done
quality work for a reasonable price.

 [If you tell him I sent you: Well I can't say he'll give you a discount,
  but he'll probably tell you some embarrassing stories about when we were
  in high school together :-) ]

 Very truly yours,
 Tom.
