Negombo Resources: Electrical Contractor

I hired Eric Fernando to do the electrical wiring and fittings to the apartment.  He was recommended by my sister.  Again a knowledgeable, neat efficient work.  I gather Eric also has professional qualifications in Electrical work.

You can contact Eric at 071-404-0423

Negombo Resources: Building Contractor

Got some Building work done by Kumar and ??.  They wore building a two storied house right in front of my apartment. Hired them to do some additions to the apartment.   Good work and very knowledgeable. Enthusiastic work crew.

You can contact Kumar at 077-535-9679

Negombo Resources: Polished Cement/Terrazo Contractor

 I had a good experience working with S. S.  Rajah (077 971 7244) to cut and polish the cement floor at my apartment. Like the other contractors (in other posts) I was lucky.  They all  answered phone or called back.   If they got delayed they informed me.

Good work was a plus and done in a timely fashion.
