<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">We had a very good experience with Wagner Roofing (<A href="http://www.wagnerroofing.com">http://www.wagnerroofing.com</A>/). We are wacky though, and had all sorts of bizarre requirements that most people wouldn't have. <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I've heard good things about Franklin and Templeton Roofing, 9112 Saint Andrews Pl, College Park, MD 20740, phone: (301) 935-5516. I think Bruce Wernek has used them in the past and been happy with them. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>And everyone loves Jim Smith, though I think most of his business is now handled by his sons. He specializes in slate roofs, though he does regular roofing as well. I don't have contact information for him though - maybe someone else will? I think he lives in College Park. He's a really nice guy, and his work is/was excellent.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>-Sarah</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Nov 6, 2007, at 6:17 PM, Rob Oppenheim wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> On Tue, 06 Nov 2007 13:59:28 +0000, erika wilson wrote:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> > it would be AWESOME if we could have a "recommendation list" of </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> > local service companies with which people had good experiences. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> The Hyattsville wiki has such a page of locally recommended workers.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> It is culled from recommendations given on the HOPE email list.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> <A href="http://hyattsville.wetpaint.com/page/Hyattsville+Household+Helpers+List">http://hyattsville.wetpaint.com/page/Hyattsville+Household+Helpers+List</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> (sorry but not roofers on that list at this time).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> To learn more about any individual recommended there, search for the </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> individual in the HOPE archives at:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> <A href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HOPE_in_Hyattsville/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HOPE_in_Hyattsville/</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <FONT face="Arial" size="3"> </FONT><DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> You might want to search the hope list for other recommendations, </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> as the wiki page does not always get updated.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <FONT face="Arial" size="3"> </FONT><DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> Also the HOPE yahoo email list, has a "database" section (left side</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> of the page at the above link) that has a few files that you can view</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> that are lists of recommended workers.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> Erika - I will send you (off list) a local roofer who I respect although </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="3"> I have not personally used his services.
