| Home Improvement Resources: Home Improvement Resources Directory ordinarily revised quarterly; last update 4-8-10 |
||||||
| If you have had a good or bad experience with a contractor, tradesperson, home improvement company, or other home resource, let your neighbors know! Please email us the following information: |
||||||
| Please include: | ||||||
| Your name, email and phone | ||||||
| Name of Company and/or Person | ||||||
| Telephone numbers | ||||||
| E-mail addresses | ||||||
| Your comments | ||||||
| To be useful, HIRD must be up to date. We rely on YOU for information. | ||||||
|
Listings are added to the HIRD after a single positive comment that is sent to the HIRD Volunteer from a neighborhood resident. Some listings are followed by a date in parentheses. This is the date when the listing was first included in the directory. Those listings without a date were on the list prior to early 2005, when we added this new feature. The date (or just the listing) may be followed by one or more “plus” signs (+), each of which represents an additional recommendation received on that listing. The date may also be followed by one or more “X’s” (x), each of which represents a negative recommendation received for that listing. The “plus” signs (+) and “X’s” (x) are listed in the order in which they were received. Listings are removed upon receipt of 3 complaints by the HIRD Volunteer over any time period. Once removed from the list, a contractor will not be relisted for at least 1 year, and can only be reinstated to the list upon recommendation by a neighborhood resident for whom they have completed recent work. EXAMPLE: Billy Bob's Carpentry – Billy Smith, 410-555-4179 (3/15/05, +,+,x,+) This listing shows that Billy Bob’s was first listed on March 15th, 2005, and had 2 additional recommendations beyond the first one that created its listing. It also shows a complaint received and then another recommendation.
If you find an error when contacting a company/person on the HIRD list, please let me know: hird@boltonhill.org or drop a note to Greg Baranoski, 1713 Park Ave. |
