Once in awhile you get surprised.
I must say that I have one home improvement experience with a contractor that really came off without a hitch.
If you need any gutter work done on your house (or gutter guards for a very competitive per-linear-foot installed price), then I personally recommend the contractor I used recently:
Castle Creations LLC
1124 Charlotte Place
Rahway, NJ 07065
TEL 732-396-0962
CEL 732-803-1813
The owner himself came to our home in Essex County at the exact time promised, wrote out a detailed written estimate and explained the job he thought needed to be done. He then came back a couple of days later when I scheduled the gutter replacement work (on time again!) and finished the job personally with one other helper.
The price quoted and paid for gutter repair job was not only the best price estimated by 3 contractors (I needed to submit 3 estimates for insurance purposes), they were insured, licensed and pre-qualified by ServiceMagic.com, one of my favorite home owner websites – plus he did it with a smile.
That last part is said in jest, but completely serious. Nowadays, it’s so hard to find contractors that are helpful and happy to do the work. So many times, I just want to tell them that if they don’t want to do the work, then find another line of work. But not Castle Creations – job well done with a smile.
The kids are out from school in March and April and that means that tons of families are headed to the 2 meccas on the Left and East Coasts — DISNEY!
Whenever we go to either Orlando, FL or Anaheim, CA, we miss good food quickly after a day or two of hotel cuisine.
Here’s two local tips to get your stomach happy happy again when you’re visiting Disney World or Disney Land:
ANAHEIM, CA:
There’s a great Korean BBQ Restuarant literally about 5-7 minutes from the Disney block area called MO RAN GAK Restaurant. They consistently serve great Korean food. If you’re in the mood for something authentic that’s good for the stomach and priced right for the wallet, try them out: Mo Ran Gak Korean Restuarant is located at 9651 Garden Grove Blvd, Garden Grove, CA 92844. (between Gilbert Street and Brookhurst Street) TEL: 714-638-1177.
ORLANDO, FL:
Everyone loves good Chinese food. Orlando has one of the best Chinese restaurants there can be for a tourist haven like Orlando — right on International Drive. Ming Court is the perfect place for dinner after a long day at the park or other attractions.
And the kids love it because they have HUGE goldfish in the pond outside where you can feed them fish pellets (dispenser costs a dime I think). So even if you’re waiting for a table, the kids won’t be nagging you…except for more fish food to feed the goldfish. 9188 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819 [TEL: 407-351-9988] http://www.ming-court.com/
Where do you eat when you travel to Disney either in Orlando or Anahiem?
