General Contractor - Portland, ME
My name is Tim Swartz, and I live in South Portland, Maine. As the owner of Swartz Enterprises I have helped many people improve their properties. I have been in construction for more than 10 years. I have worked with contractors in landscaping, tree care, concrete, wood framing, carpentry, door and window installation, drywall, painting, flooring, and ceilings. I enjoy making all manner of improvements to whatever I find. My services include, but are not limited to: Trash Service, Recycling, Weekly Household Trash Removal (Cape Elizabeth), Spring Cleanups (Landscaping-Greater Portland Area), Fall Cleanups (Landscaping-Greater Portland Area), Tree Care Services (Greater Portland Area)- Tree trimming, Brush Hauling, Delivery and installation of Wood chips, Delivery and installation of Mulch, Lawn Mowing Services (Cape Elizabeth and South Portland), Landscaping Design and Installation (Greater Portland area), Small Home Modifications, Moving and Delivery Services, Freon Removal and Disposal (free for a limited time), Winter Snow Removal (Cape Elizabeth and South Portland). One of the things I do is remove your unwanted items. This could be called by various names, like debris handling, garbage disposal, junk removal, litter cleanup, discarding refuse, sorting rubbish, clearing out scrap, dumping trash or piling up waste. I hope you share my passion for the environment. It's easily adopted by all ages. I care about my world. If you get to know me, you'll see I want the best for you, too. I don't want to treat the earth as my trash receptacle, although getting rid of trash is a necessary step. I want to nurture the earth like a tree. As you learn more of what can be recycled, and respond with actions, you will reduce your real costs in the long run. The more you recycle, the less new things cost. I want the earth to be a better place to live for future generations. I see the earth as a place to be cared for with an eye for the future. The way I see it, I should do things right, right now. That way I won't worry about the future: when something I've put together is done right, it will last. I started this business to make my corner of the world look better, to assist you in learning ways to use the world's resources better, and to help you enjoy your living space. My mission is to make the neighborhood better, one place at a time. I want the property owner to smile at the results of my work. I am going to be the best at managing my corner of the earth. This means making unwanted items disappear, making buildings work better, making plants thrive, and making pathways inviting. I have many years of training and practical, hands-on experience in building. All the work we perform is fully insured. Satisfaction guaranteed. You will be happy with our results. We give free estimates in writing when asked, and deliver what we promise. I have many years of training and practical, hands-on experience in building. All the work we perform is fully insured.
