Top 5 Contractors You Need In Your (Digital) Rolodex

Katelyn Lewis • Oct 20, 2022

Which contractors should you have in your (digital) rolodex for your home projects?

Here's our top 5 list:


1.) A home exterior/roofing contractor. A company (like Retex!) that offers roof repairs and replacements; siding; windows; and gutters creates not only a great resource for any exterior work you need or want done but also as an emergency contact for storm-related damage. Reach us at 804-258-6300. 😁


2.) A handyman. From rotten trim or a stuck window to a loose piece of siding, a handyman can help with minor projects inside and outside your home. While you may consider DIYing the repairs, a handyman usually offers the expertise to fix the issue quickly and for a reasonable price while saving your time and energy. In Richmond, we recommend Affordable Exterminators for handyman and pest control services (804-744-3835).


3.) A plumber. If you've got a leaky pipe or other water issue such as a constantly running toilet or overflowing dishwasher, you need to call a plumber. Plumbers know the right valves to switch and can usually pinpoint the problem quickly, saving you both water and water damage. We recommend Chad Davis of Last Call Plumbing (804-334-4061).


4.) An electrician.  Having a trusted electrician comes in handy for knowing where the wires in your walls are, so you don't accidentally drill through one while hanging up wall art or other decorations, as well as for installing new light fixtures and fans. Shoutout to Andrew Olsen of Olsen Electrical Services (804-877-3770).


5.) A general contractor. If you have a number of repairs or building projects you're looking to achieve, knowing a great general contractor will bring multiple projects under one company, saving you from having to coordinate the timeline for the home project completion.  David Clark of Richmond Rebuilders is a wonderful GC in the Richmond area, and he can be reached at 804-400-0909.
