RULES AND EXPLANATION

This page is the forum for members to post recommendations for local services and providers they have used and have had positive experiences with. It is primarily for the benefit of “new” Newcomers to the area, but may also be of help to existing members. As we all know, it is difficult to know whom to use for contracting, plumbing, auto repair, and many other services.

The format of recommendations on this page is name of person, or service being recommended, work performed with specific positive comments only.  Criticism and negative comments will not be allowed.

The Greater Lexington Newcomers Club does not endorse these recommendations. They are solely the opinions of the members who post them.

Submit recommendations to webmaster@lexvanewcomers.org

Thanks to Duncan Charlton for the format & headings. Please add your recommendations, or suggest additional categories.
