The Twin Cities Homeowner’s Field Guide
I Know a Guy
Who's your guy for that?
Fifty things that break in a house. Five trusted local companies for each one. Mailed free to Plymouth homeowners.
How it works
The guide you keep, for the day something goes wrong.
Get the guide
It lands in your mailbox — free, quarterly, no app and no sign-up. Fifty-six glossy pages of people worth calling.
Keep it in the drawer
Kitchen drawer, junk drawer, wherever you'll actually find it. You won't need it today. You'll need it in February.
Call a name you can trust
Something breaks? Open the guide. Five vetted local companies for the job, ready to pick up when you call.
What’s inside
Fifty categories. Five companies each. Never a sixth.
The Big Stuff
The four-and-five-figure jobs. Get these wrong and you pay twice.
Systems & Repairs
The guts of the house — the stuff that fails on a Sunday night.
Inside the House
Everything from the studs in. Make it feel like yours again.
The Yard
Curb appeal, and keeping the outside from wrecking the inside.
Seasonal — Fall
Minnesota doesn't wait. Book these before the first freeze.
The Standard
Every name in the book has earned its place.
This isn’t a coupon book and it isn’t the Yellow Pages. A company can’t buy its way in. Before we print a single name, they clear a bar — and they stay on the right side of it, or they’re gone next quarter.
Paid, not bought — no fee has ever bought a spot from a company that didn’t clear the bar.
Licensed & insured
Verified before a single page goes to print — not taken on their word.
We did the homework
We look at real finished work and talk to people they've done right by. The rating that counts is ours — there are no stars to game.
Answers within one business day
They pick up Plymouth calls. A name you can't reach isn't a name worth printing.
The three-strikes rule
Three verified reader complaints and they're out of the next edition. No refunds. That's the deal.
The concierge
Don’t want to call around? Text us a photo.
We’ll line up three quotes from our guys within 48 hours. Free, no catch — it’s the whole point of the book.
For contractors
Are you the guy?
Only five companies make each category, at $100a season. First come, first served — and once a category’s full, it’s full. Get in front of 5,500 Plymouth homeowners who keep the book in the drawer.
