ZeroRezPortland  (www.zerorezportland.com)  – they cleaned the carpets in our entire house and did the best job of anybody I’ve used in the past!  They treated the pet stains effectively and the two owners actually did all the work, which means it was not just a job for them.  They were also personable and protected the woodwork very well.  Highly recommended!  Submitted by Vonne Emery

Hosanna Tree and Landscape Services, Steve Beacock, 503-750-5086
"I have used Steve Beacock, of Hosanna Tree, several times and I could not recommend him more strongly.  He may take a while to pin down for an appointment due to his schedule, but he is a great person and does a wonderful job.  He is very much a one-man firm, with the occasional helper being his son in college, and his prices I find to be 1/3rd to 1/2 of the big "Arborist" companies.  He also does a great job of clean up."  Submitted by Andrew Fisher

SAT preparation, or writing Tutoring Services:...

"I don't know if you've started thinking about SAT prep yet, but Jacob has been working with this great tutor who's a student at Reed College. She's had years of experience helping students achieve their dream score on the SAT, and she also specializes in writing: college/scholarship applications, essays for any class - she's very versatile! Her name is Christina Gremore.

She let me know that she has spots opening up for new students in 2013. Plus, she's doing a 'friends & family' discount through the end of January - let her know that I referred you, and you can get 20% off of either package (Skype or in-person tutoring). Each family can buy up to three packages at once. It's a great deal. You can read more about her and what she does at her website: www.ExcellenceAcademicCoaching.com"
