"We've both had auto body work done by Murphy's, from major fender-bender repairs to fixing a rust spot. We've used them 4 times.
They do excellent work and have the car ready when they said it would be ready. Their prices are reasonable. Their estimates
are often less than half the amount of a larger shop (like Pohanka Body Shop in Marlow Heights), and they stay
within their estimates. Murphy's people are courteous, and professional. We like using a local neighborhood service."

"Don and I can't say enough about Mr. Mudd! His work and professionalism are great!
He is an electrician by trade but has workers and a network of associates who also show up as planned.
He rewired a ceiling light fixture in our hallway that several other electricians said would have to be replaced;
got a crew of 6 to come in, prime and paint the living room (including ceiling!), hallway and hallway to second floor, a bedroom;
and got an associate to tow and store an old family car, while another associate put in a new garage door!
If you've been in our house you know that painting our living room ceiling was no small feat!!
All painting and priming was done in 3 days and was very neat!
When he says he'll be there at 8:30 am, you can bet he'll be there at 8:25 am (with his crew!). And is always reachable!
Can't say enough good things about this guy!

He says he can build a whole house. However, so far, I have used him
over the years to maintain my heating and air conditioning system. This
has included installing a new heating system and fixing the air
conditioner when the pan or the support system under the coiling system
fell - - which caused the water to spill onto the floor instead of the
system pumping it to the outside.

Salamanca Painting Inc.
Office-301-439-7189
Cell-301-693-0096
I would like to recommend Salamanca Painting Inc. (father and two sons), who do interior and exterior painting,
drywall repairs, aluminum and vinyl painting and various construction projects. They rescued a Florida room addition to my house.
When I purchased my home, I did not realize that years of water damage from a flat roof/deck above had eaten into the walls
and destroyed studs, insulation, wiring, etc. They removed the deck (and replaced it properly), helped a roofing specialist
install a membrane roof underneath, rebuilt the structural support of the walls and put up new drywall where needed, added proper
gutters and new siding, where needed, and painted the interior. When I had a new sliding patio door installed in the same room by
a specialty company, the Salamancas voluntarily came to my house to supervise the installation to be certain the opening they had
rebuilt and the new door being installed went together properly.
They are terrific workers (fast and long hours), very honest, and a pleasure to be around.
I recommended them for extensive interior painting and some carpentry for a relative of my nextdoor neighbor here in
Hillcrest, and they reported being very satisfied with the finished job. I think their pricing is also very reasonable.

partially fallen down in one of our big storms, and was dead on top. I
highly recommend him for my neighbors who need trees removed or
trimmed. He will take the tree limbs and trunk away, or mulch them and
spread them over a part of your yard, if preferred. He removed a tree for
my neighbor as well."

Rules of Submission
- All recommendations must be based on first-hand experience.
- All recommendations will be listed with the name and neighborhood of the person submitting, plus the date of the recommendation.
- No recommendation should be taken as a guarantee that the business will perform well.
- Recommendations will be accepted from any Washington, D.C. resident, but recommendations from east of the Anacostia river are preferred
because these businesses have already
shown their willingness to work east of the river.
- If you have a bad experience with a business, and want to share that information with your neighbors, consider posting it on the HillcrestDC list serve
(Click www.hillcrestdc.com/announce.htm#listserve to see how to join). If it is on the list of recommended businesses, the note "Neighbor reports bad experience with his business" will be added.
If more than one bad experience is reported, the business will be removed from the list.

avoid spam).
The subject of the message should be "Recommended Business".
