By Marco Island Naples News
Ask around Marco Island long enough and you’ll hear the same question on repeat: does anyone have a good [insert trade here]? Between snowbird turnover, salt air wearing down everything from paint to pool equipment, and a shortage of word-of-mouth recommendations for anyone new to the island, finding a reliable local contractor can take longer than the job itself.
That’s the gap our Home Services Offered directory is meant to close — a single, continuously updated page listing local companies across 16 categories of home services, built specifically for Marco Island and the surrounding area.
The directory currently spans:
The page includes a searchable directory tool so readers can look up a company by name or category directly, rather than scrolling the full list.
This isn’t a paid-placement list dressed up as a directory. According to the page itself, any business can be added — company name and website link — for free, simply by emailing napleshdr@gmail.com. Businesses that want more visibility, including a featured display ad, can do so starting at $1,000 for 12 months, or through the site’s standard advertising plans starting at $100/month, which reach an audience the site puts at more than 65,000 monthly readers and a 135,000-member Facebook group.
As with any crowdsourced directory, a standard disclaimer applies: the list is compiled from public business listings, phone numbers and availability can change, and inclusion isn’t an endorsement or a referral. Always verify licensing, insurance, and reviews before hiring — the same due diligence you’d do with any contractor, whether you found them here or through a neighbor.
Because the list grows as new businesses are added, it’s worth bookmarking rather than screenshotting. Find it anytime at marcoislandnaplesnews.com/service-offered-marco-island.
