SHOPPER’S GUIDE ISSUE OF MARCH 3, 2021 • SECOND SECTION

March is adopt a guinea pig month and we have a pair at the shelter that is available. Dino and Angel are one-year-old guinea pigs who were surrendered because a family member was allergic to them. They are a bit shy, but are slowly coming out of their shell as they adjust to life at the shelter. They could really use somebody to dote on them in a home environment. We will adopt them out together. We also have an assortment of other small animals including mice and a rabbit. If you are interested in adopting Dino and Angel or any small animal, please call or stop by the shelter – we are now open to the public again!

And Area Classified Advertisers Those folks, whose hard-earned dollars swell the till of your cash register during the season, stay in touch with life in the Berkshires and Taconics by way of the website shoppersguideinc.com. The attraction? The commercial conversation we have among ourselves on the pages of every issue of the Shopper’s Guide. It turns out that the area’s second homeowners, be they in Brooklyn or Brookline, want to listen in.

You can reach this very special audience through an ad on the Shopper’s Guide website. A 728 x 90px leaderboard ad or a 300 x 250px medium box ad are priced right. Sold by the thousands of impressions, either a leaderboard or a medium box ad will connect you with just the customer you seek.

Just had 2 windows installed, guys did an excellent job. Very professional and thorough. I usually do not do the reviews and stuff but would say 100% satisfied with the whole experience you provided, best of all NO BS involved at any time. — PAUL MONTEROSSO, PITTSFIELD MASS

FEBRUARY 12, 2021

We wanted to write you and thank you for a job well done. From the beginning to the end we were so impressed by all the crew that brought our house back to normal. Having a fire is particularly disruptive and upsetting and everyone seemed sensitive and extraordinarily attentive to the situation. Maybe that is always how you work, but in any event, we were very happy with the process and now with the final product. We appreciate the regular communication we received, fast responses to emails and phone calls, and the fast work. The final restoration is AMAZING and the clean up all along the way was excellent. Very professional and talented craftsmen. Thank you again for making this easy and bringing our lives back to some semblance of normalcy. — DOUG DEVILLE, RICHARD ROOK SANDISFIELD, MA

FEBRUARY 15, 2021

Morrison's is the best! What started as replacing patio and front doors, lead to a remodeled bathroom, kitchen, and the creation of a home office. Steve, Ashley, Tom, Anna, John D and Les were AMAZING. They are responsive, professional and the work was impeccable. We couldn't have been happier. In the middle of a pandemic, all protocols were followed. We will be using them again! Highly, highly recommend.

FEBRUARY 12, 2021 I have just completed a large renovation project on my 200 year old farm house. I needed a contractor who would do it all and help me improve this beautiful, but old home. I contacted MORRISON HOME IMPROVEMENT. From Start to finish, they have been “SIMPLY AMAZING!” Steve Morrison is definitely involved with every aspect of the work and customer service is obviously a priority of the company. Steve went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied with work and progress. His frequent calls to just “check in” were greatly appreciated. Ashley and Anna were wonderful in the design center. They were knowledgeable, informative and a pleasure to work with. The kitchen, laundry room and baths are beautiful, and very much in keeping with my old home. Still old- but new again – brick chimneys exposed – pine floors that match other rooms – bathrooms that are all updated and beautiful! The carpentry team (Steve and Brian) never missed a day. They would arrive at 7:00 AM and leave at 3:00. The project was uninterrupted and the attention to detail and craftsmanship superior. The tile work flawless. The Crown molding beautiful. The new pine floors are great. The old brick chimney exposed and repair brickwork done to perfection. The workmanship is very high quality. Steve and Brian were always pleasant, polite and extremely helpful. I was also pleased with Steve Morrison’s crews. His choice of electricians and plumbers were equally as dedicated and talented, friendly and extremely competent. His clean-up crews worked diligently. All of his workers were competent, polite and professional. My project is complete. You have all been a pleasure to work with. The end result has far exceeded my expectations!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU AND LOOK FORWARD TO USING MORRISON’S FOR FUTURE RENOVATIONS. I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE BEEN VOTED “BEST IN THE BERKSHIRES” THANK YOU ALL FOR A JOB WELL DONE! YOU ARE – “SIMPLY AMAZING!’ — BETH BARTHOLOMEW, SHEFFIELD

FEBRUARY 17, 2021

As your renovation of our house is finishing, we wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the wonderful job your team has done. We were nervous about doing a renovation from a distance as this is our vacation home, but everything ran smoothly. By sending us photos of the work in progress and being there to accept deliveries and allow other workers access to the house you made the process very easy for us. We especially want to thank Ashley for her wonderful design ideas, and Ray for the impeccable work he did to execute her designs. I also want to thank Steve Morrison personally for all of the phone calls and updates. It was so easy to get a hold of you whenever we needed to discuss this project. If we ever need any more work done, we will be calling you. Working with you truly was SIMPLY AMAZING.
