Don is the owner.

We had a problem with our Refrigerator and called them. Don came out right away and fixed the problem within 15 minutes. He charges $40 for the service call and it's deductible if he repairs the problem. He was on time, explained the problem to us and repaired it in a timely fashion. Very satisfied.

I am a very happy client of Maryann and have been working with her on detoxification, nutritional counseling and general life style improvement. Initially skeptical, I am now a firm believer in her approach to using food to achieve optimal health and well-being. I have even lost my cravings for unhealthy foods without using any will power!! I strongly recommend you give her a try. You can even ask for a FREE (yes, free) health consultation.
(352) 874-4191

 

You can't help being CONVINCED that there is a way out of destructive eating habits AND a way into a highly superior healing nutrition program. As a package, THIS IS TOP NOTCH. Maryann is concise & easy to understand, natural, factual & not overly academic. I went from total lethargy to being able to accomplish things that weren't possible before, and I was able to eliminate a 20-year problem of extreme coughing fits that were absolutely devastating, causing other physical problems. Dan Soccorso
I have been working with Maryann for the past few months and have gained a wealth of information about eating healthfully. I have never been a fan of detox programs, but this one is so easy to follow, and the benefits are amazing. I feel fantastic when I follow the program, as she guides you every step of the way on how to eat to fuel your body and what foods you should avoid. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for guidance in the confusing world of nutrition.

Randy Koski
813-270-9870
We called a painter to repaint our living room. The estimate was $300. We then saw a newspaper ad that advertised one room painted for $98. We called Randy Koski and he came to our home and looked it over. We bought the paint, called him and he was at our home 15 minutes later. He spent the day creating exactly what we had asked for, cleaned up and left... all in one day. No muss, no fuss... and all for $98.... Marcia Glatt
 
Terry Turmann
352-347-6883
Neat with his work, has a steady hand, cleans up afterwards, moves furniture back, and is reasonable in cost. I interviewed four painters, and Terry was the lowest. I highly recommend him.  Please tell him that Linda Dumlao recommended him. Linda Dumlao

I got in over my head on redoing my flower beds and James came to my rescue. He did the heavy work in a fraction of the time it would have taken me, gave me suggestions, and was very accommodating to my schedule. I was so pleased with what he accomplished, I plan on having him help me with less strenuous (but time-consuming) tasks I planned on doing myself to get my flower beds under control again.
