When you live in one city long enough, you learn who to trust and who to avoid. It’s easy to double down on bad-mouthing businesses that never seem to follow through on their promises—but I like to keep things positive.
As a realtor in Greeley, I regularly work with contractors, small businesses, and all sorts of local professionals. There are many folks in Weld County who I’m always happy to recommend to friends and clients alike. I trust them with my family’s home, which is some of the highest praise I can give.
If you’re looking for a business to restore both your house and your faith in humanity, I can personally vouch for these contractors:
Electrician
Scott Hergenreter – (970) 581-2837
This is my go-to company for anything involving electricity. I’ve used Scott’s services in my own house, and many of my clients have called him for help as well. Your wiring, control, and lighting systems are safe with his team.
Plumber
Good News Plumbing – (970) 371-0259
While requiring a plumber never seems to happen at a good time, I’ve never had a bad experience with Good News Plumbing. With 30 years of expertise across Northern Colorado, these are the guys my clients and I call when everything is going to… well… you know.
Air Conditioning
Lemons Heating & Cooling – (970) 353-3527
Lemons has some of the best customer service around. They’ve been part of our community since 2001, keeping us cool during these hot summer days (and demystifying our energy bills when they seem off).
Roofer
Blue Frog Roofing – (970) 436-8963
The Blue Frog team specializes in residential and commercial roofing, as well as gutter repair and replacement. They handle asphalt shingles, wood shake shingles, tile, metal—you name it, they can install it. I’m always impressed by their attention to detail and commitment to continuing education.
Windows
Moffat Glass – (970) 353-6625
Moffat’s technicians have a combined experience of over 100 (!!) years. Their large team equates to quick service and competitive prices. My clients and I can always count on them for glass replacement, screen repair, mirror installation, and more.
Radon Mitigation
Lords Radon – (970) 301-4581
It’s no secret that Colorado’s radon levels aren’t exactly low. Thankfully, Jay Lords is passionate about protecting residents from radon—and making the mitigation system look good, too. I highly recommend his services.
Handyman
Gary Kessler – (970) 405-1413
Gary and his son Jerrod do incredible work. They’ll tackle anything from fixture installations to full remodels. Their customer service and professionalism are top-notch.
No matter where you live, there will always be people and businesses that don’t meet your expectations; it’s a part of life. But don’t let a few bad apples ruin your sense of community spirit.
If you’re in the neighborhood, you’re in good hands with any of the contractors above. And if you’re not, ask around for recommendations in your area. Find out who your friends feel comfortable calling in a crisis—and know that you just struck gold.
