I have recently updated this directory and those listed in my directory have earned their spot by personally providing me with exceptional service.

I routinely turn down offers of payment from businesses who want to be added to this directory.

Give these outstanding professionals a try and tell them I sent you!

I recently represented a buyer who purchased a new home built by Hayden Homes in Meridian’s Larkspur Subdivision.

Hayden Homes does a superb job of delivering a top-quality home, packed with the amenities new home buyers want, and it is a pleasure to work with them.

If you are interested in a Hayden Homes home, please call me at 938-5533 or e-mail me.

I can represent you as your buyer’s agent and ensure that all goes smoothly.

I use Clark’s Yard Care, owned/operated by Darrell and Rozanne Clark, for my own personal sprinkler services.

I have them blow out/winterize my sprinklers each Fall and activate/check my sprinkler system each Spring.

You will enjoy their responsive service and reasonable prices.

You can reach the Clarks @ 371-7464.

Give Gregg Aime a call at A&D Window Cleaning Services ~ 585-3393!

Gregg cleans residential and commercial windows and also offers power washing and gutter cleaning services.

He cleans windows the old-fashioned way ~ with a bucket and a squeegee; not high-pressure water that can damage window seals.

Gregg is thorough, painstaking, shows up on time, and his prices are reasonable!

Amazingly, he even cleaned my bathroom mirrors as part of his service!

I’m often asked if I can recommend an honest mechanic and, believe it or not, I actually can!

Bob Giesler, owner of Giesler Auto Repair in Meridian, has been in business at the same location for the past 36 years.

I can vouch for his integrity after recently having him tell me to not waste my money on a repair I thought I needed.

Where else will you find that?

Bob and his skilled technicians offer general auto maintenance and repairs for cars and light trucks, including tune-ups, brakes, fuel injection, batteries, air conditioning, and other repairs.

Call Bob now @ 888-1841 to schedule an appointment and get 10% off when you mention that you’re a “Phriend Of Phil”!

This month’s featured business is Sid Nield, my State Farm Insurance agent.

Sid has been my insurance agent for the past nine years and has helped me resolve some pretty bizarre claims when my kids were younger, (like the time my daughter’s Honda was nearly destroyed by a U of I fraternity’s exploding ceremonial cannon!).

Sid’s extensive experience helps him provide valuable insights into the complex world of insurance.

Sid is honest, reliable, and responsive.

Give him a call at 938-5351 for exceptional insurance service.

This month’s featured business is Butch Petersen,  a (gasp!) used car salesman!

I just bought this beautiful, like-new 2007 Acura MDX with 16,000 miles from Butch last week.

Fairly Reliable Bob’s has been in business 34 years and Butch acts as your trusted advisor; not a pushy salesperson who’s out to “close the deal”.

This was my second purchase from Butch and I highly recommend him!

Give Butch a call at 724-4106 when you’re in the market for a clean, late model used car!

This month’s featured business is my own personal Master Gardener, Becky Zottarelli.

Becky specializes in creating potted plant masterpieces and will also plant your perennials and annuals.

In other words, Becky can help you get potted !

Becky is honest, competent, and has an excellent eye for what will look good in your yard.

Becky will turn your yard into a sea of color!

Becky is offering “Phriends Of Phil” a FREE consultation and 20% off her services during May !

Give her a call at 871-0960 !

This month’s featured business is my favorite carpet cleaner, Charlie Lyman (aka “Carpet Geek”).

I have personally used Charlie as my carpet cleaner for several years and he has proven to be punctual, thorough, competent, and honest.

The kewl thing about Charlie is that instead of charging by the room (as most carpet cleaners do), he only charges for the actual area he cleans.  That saves you money if you are cleaning a furnished home.

Charlie also does carpet repairs, upholstery cleaning, and grout cleaning services.

Charlie is offering my referred clients 20% off for all of his services during April, so give him a call at 559-5426!

This month’s featured business is my own handyman, Ken Weathers, whom I have labeled as “The World’s Best Handyman”.

Ken has been my “go to guy” for years and has done some pretty amazing work for me.

He returns calls, shows up, does good work, and charges a reasonable fee.

Ken can be reached at (208)870-5332.
