BUSINESSES WE RECOMMEND

Stampin' Up Okay, I admit it. I'm an addict. A SCRAPBOOKING and STAMPING addict, that is. Brenda is a great designer, and always happy to help with layouts or advice. Once a week workshops in her home ($5 per seat). 360-277-181.

Belfair Handyman After our first experience with a local contractor turned out to be a mess of lies, we were SO happy to find Gary! Not only did he do a beautiful, exacting job, he was less expensive than the original person. You're welcome to drop by and check out his workmanship if you're in the market for a contractor. Small or big jobs, emergency repairs. (360) 275-2010. $60 first hour; $45 each successive hour.

Canal Carpets Absolutely wonderful professional service! Very personalized family business that is satrisfied with nothing less than a job done 100%. Belfair, on Highway 3 near the library. (360) 275-7249.

Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning Arnold does a first class job, very thoroughly at a reasonable price. The Chem Dry process is superior, and the customer service even better. We've had our carpet cleaned by several different methods (including the Naturalizer) and are sold on Chem-Dry. 360-426-1437.

Dr. Paul Lingenbrink, Orthodontist He's wonderful! Doing a beautiful job with Jenna's teeth. His manner is fantastic, and he is excellent with children. His billing office leaves a little to be desired, still definitely recommended. East Bremerton, Port Orchard, and Belfair.

Ray's Barber Shop Fans of Floyd's Barber Shop on The Andy Griffith Show will feel right at home here. Make sure you take a good look at the history of Belfair in pictures on his walls.
