We have a small apartment in Sulmona for holiday use and from time to time we need odd jobs done - painting, electrics, carpentry etc. we have been using a local agent to organise tradesmen with mixed results.
I was wondering if there were others in Sulmona in a similar position and if so whether they had organised their own tradesmen or if they had an alternative to relying upon the agent. Maybe we could in future pool our knowledge and put together a list of tradesmen in this area that we would recommend.
I was thinking about getting neighbours' recommendations and am trying to get my Italian up to a level where I could do that!

Happy to pool knowledge Postmac. I've sent you a message.
We didn't feel we could trust our estate agents and preferred to get workmen from independent recommendations. That's usually worked out okay... although Italian standards of client service range from wonderful to appalling! The work is usually faultless, it's the timeliness that's an issue!
