Computer repair

Provectus Ratio LLC recovered 1,000 pictures from Rebecca Warner's computer. "They found a way to recover all but 10 pictures," Warner says. "These pictures included our grandchild's first year of life, so I was overjoyed. Their determination is the only reason I have these 'lost' pictures."

Animal removal

Thea Finkelstein's home is now animal-free thanks to A All Animal Control of Southern CT. Besides being timely, Dominic [Cuozzo, the owner] performed his work cheerfully and politely," Finkelstein says. "He caught the squirrel I trapped in my bathroom and inspected the attic for animal nests, fecal matter and signs of animal habitation. He took a mamma mouse and her babies [he caught] and the squirrel to a wooded area 20 miles away."

Catering

601 Deli & Catering appealed to Steve Moses' taste when they catered an outdoor birthday party for his wife. "They helped me select dishes and quantities to fit the mood of the party," Moses says. "All of the food was exceptional, but the chicken marsala and the penne alla vodka were above and beyond what I expected. The staff was very easy to work with. Their prices were reasonable and less than many other caterers I spoke with. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again."

Structural engineering

Residential Engineering Services LLC helped Dottie Snider relax after inspecting her home that she plans to sell. "Bill [Neal, the owner] and his crew came exactly when promised," Snider says. "They had a choice of services but didn't press me to get them all done. After the inspection, they went over the report line by line. They stated what was necessary to fix — not only to sell my home but to pass inspection. Bill gave us complete peace of mind."
