Hello,

My wife and I are purchasing a home on the Silver Coast near Foz do Arelho/Caldas da Rainha. We will need to have some repairs made including some concrete patch work on exterior patio, some digging to put in better exterior drainage around the house, and various other tasks.


I am hoping to receive some recommendations for good reliable people.

Thanks

Roger

Hi Roger,

Me and my wife are in the same situation like you, not so far from you, e.g. Evora de Alcobaca. We just open a small construction service company, where digging and trenching is in our scope. Everything will be in place around end of April, after that we can take over some digging and trenching works. All the tools are already ordered :), if you can wait !? 1f60e.svg

@rogerpart How exciting - I’m envious!  I will eagerly await the replies as I will also be interested in trrades people who are good at what they do - but not for another year.

@rogerpart,

Leroy Merlin usually has a network of professionals who do these jobs. You pay 25 euros for the quote. Try to find out about it in one of the stores.
