Homeowner's Recommendations

Recommendations of good vendors/contractors for work around our homes are a valuable resource. Listed below are your recommendation in the form of emails or letters. Shown are the names of the vendors/contractors and details about what they did or how they worked out are displayed on this page. You may not recommend yourself or a relative. And negative comments by residents will not be posted. Naturally, since the recommendations even though they must be positive, are those made by residents, Riviera Golf Estates Homeowners Association, Inc. disclaims any and all responsibility associated with recommendation.

A casual glance will show that we clearly need help in this category. Your recommendations are needed. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Please send your recommendations to Webmaster

Air Conditioning

We've used J.P Brett and Sons since 1994 for our Air Conditioning needs.  
Our unit is serviced twice a year for $136. And when the unit failed 
once during the night, over the weekend, a serviceman was at the house 
in the morning.

Ceramic Tile

Angela's Marble & Tile
4375 Enterprise Ave
Naples FL 34104
Again this started out as a recommendation from another Riviera resident who had
done a lot of shopping around Naples for good prices on floor tile. He said Angela's
was the best. We stopped in one afternoon and both my wife and I found some 
tile we really liked. They let us take a couple different tile patterns home and we
looked at them for a few days and decided on a tile. We did shop around and 
verified that Angelas had good prices. They recommended a tile setter. We used
him. I wont recommend him because I dont remember his last name. I think he was
just a go-between anyway. We were very happy with the work they did. We just had
the tile layed straight, square to the room pattern. A friend came over and saw our
new tile, saw the price and had Angelas redo her floors two weeks later. She had
her floors done diagonally. I thought they looked great.

Webmaster's Note: After looking at these three recommendations, I'm sure Kelly Sweet is pretty special. Just let me make one note: Our Riviera Computer Club has a Tech Squad who will fix your computer problems free of charge. You have to be a member of the club ($15/year). Give it a thought, The Tech Squad is good.


Kitchen Counter Top


Septemeber 2007

Solid Surface Specialists, Inc
6088 Taylor Rd.
Naples FL 34109
(239) 596-1292
Recommend for Corian Countertops. I know granite is more popular now.
Don't know how they do with granite. Only recommend for Corian. They were
recommended to us by another couple here in Riviera. The were much
cheaper than Home Depot  and other vendors. Look around and pick out what
 you want. You may have to visit their showroom to make the final selection.
 Dont be put off by messy showroom. If you accept their estimate, somebody will
 be around in couple days to make a template of your counter top details.
 A couple weeks later, they will show up with you new countertop. (I am guessing
 that the pros in Miami or Tampa really build the thing) and Solid Surface installs it.
 They will not do the plumbing. Get your favorite plumber to do that. I think they did
 an excellent job. No problems a year later.

Handy Man


August 2007
We had a very difficult job: the installation of a heavy window AC
in our newly fixed up lanai.  After calling all the AC firms in 
town including Lowes, Home Depot, and Sears,  we discovered no 
firm would install it.  Finally Jackson A/C gave us a recommendation.  
We lucked in!  Loggerhad Home Services, Inc. (Den and Josh Conley) 
(248-3591). They did a magnificent job! They also weather stripped 
our front door.

Lanai

8/07
We a used local firm, Bay Aluminum Inc. on Bayshore Drive, (775 1711)
to install windows on our lanai. It was a big job.  Our idea was 
excellent and the firm, specifically Dan and Vince, did a super job.
Bay Aluminum has been in business for a long time and county 
records showed no problems.

Painting

Mailed in

Ray Bergeron of 136 Versailles Ct. (353-9011) did work for us
 and his painting job was Superior! He is at the job when 
[he's] suppose to be...just A1.

Physicians

If you are a man with BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), then you'd 
be interested in knowing that the "green-light" laser procedure worked 
magic for me. Michael D'Angelo, MD was the physician at the Specialists 
in Urology Center in Naples at 990 Tamiami Trail N. His telephone number 
is 434 6300. Call me if you want to know more.

Martin Reff

***************************

Again, if you're  man and you need a hernia repaired, I'd recommend 
Dr. David Lamon with Naples Surgical Associates 417 0085. He's located 
in the new medical facility near NCH.  I had double hernia repaired.  
He did a fine job! If you need more personal information 
contact me. 775 8460.

Photo Enlargements

When I want a photo - digital or regular - enlarged, say, to 15 x 20 
for framing, I used Precision Prep and Press. Last year:   enlarged to 
21x13 print on "canvas" texture and mounted on foam for $30 + tax; 
18x15 same price. The firm is located at 1013 5th Ave. North. Tel: 262-5240.

Screen / Lanai Repairs

We recommend the following screen repair company.  After the hurricane 
we had the lanai screens replaced by Paraduse Screen Repair  434-1979.

The service was prompt and good. We were shown  the product label 
before the packages were opened to  show  that what we ordered  was 
being used.

We thought the bill was reasonable.

Tree Removal, Pruning>

Since we moved here in 1994 we've removed all the palm trees, about 12. 
Affordable #1, Inc, removed the last 8. Large equipment, professional 
crew, and speed combined to provide a great job which we appreciated. 
Call the firm at 793 0303.  Jim Jesella was he owner last time we used 
the firm.
