Cleaning

HMT Cleaning & Staging – “SIMPLIFYING YOUR LIFE”

My name is Helena Tlapak and I am the proprietor of HMT Cleaning & Staging.  I work for myself as the primary employee providing various cleaning services since 1990.  The services I provide include residential  home and office cleaning:   mopping, dusting, vacuuming and general tidiness.  In addition I can add services like washing windows, shampooing wall to wall carpets, and power washing exteriors such as decks and sidings.

Offering staging techniques to prepare homes for sale, for rent or for other special events is another service I proudly provide.  Staging focuses on improving a property’s appeal by transforming it into a welcoming, attractive product to aide in giving any home a more cohesive and serene atmosphere.

My clients describe me as dependable,  professional, and efficient, and I give references upon request.  I enjoy the work I do, and find reward in seeing the difference I make by simplifying my client’s lives.

HMT Cleaning & Staging serves the Camden, Rockport and Rockland area.   My work hours vary from dawn until dusk during the week and I tend to keep my weekends to myself, so I can spend time with my family.

Copiers

Paper Path Imaging

I am Cathy Ansart, co-owner of Paper Path Imaging, Inc. with my husband Mike. We started the business in 2007, feeling that there was a need for local copier supplies and service on the Mid Coast. We offer copiers, printers and imaging supplies (toner, ink, etc.) out of our office in St. George, or we are happy to come to you to discuss your needs. We also offer reasonably priced service on most models and brands of copiers and printers and are very competitive on the supplies you need.

I manage the office and can help you with sales, supplies and service contracts. I have been in the copier industry since 1978 in various capacities and have worked with many different brands of copiers. I can also review your usage of copiers, printers and multi- function machines to see if you have the most cost effective equipment for your needs. Most people are surprised to find out that replacing their ink jet printers, fax machine and their mass-market retail store copier with a new multi-function printer/copier can save them up to 40% on their total cost of ownership, and in some instances save 50% to 75% on their cost per copy!

Mike’s expertise since 1986 has been in copier service and networking, document management solutions and sales, so between us we are able to offer you a full range of office equipment support.

Our goal is to provide the Mid Coast area with exceptional service and competitive pricing for all their imaging needs. We offer same day local service and are members of the Chamber of Commerce. We are a privately owned, local company dedicated to making our customers happy. We are not your “typical” copier company; we offer solutions based on your needs, not based on profit.

Earlier this year we became an Authorized Sharp Reseller, offering Sharp copiers and MFP’s (multi-function printers). We have worked with Sharp since 1986 and are thrilled to partner with them. In addition we also sell and service other brands such as Copystar, Konica/Minolta and Brother, to name a few.

Please give us a call to learn what we can do to help you save money on your imaging needs.

Massage

My name is Hanna DeHoff and along with Kristy Beverage I co-own Synergy Massage & Bodywork, in downtown Rockland, Maine. Prior to becoming a massage therapist I danced in New York City, and I continue to train as a dancer. The ongoing exploration of dance and massage therapy has helped me gain a better understanding of human anatomy and movement. Synergy Massage & Bodywork specializes in massage therapy, with an emphasis on health and wellness, stress reduction, chronic pain management and structural and postural support. A collaboration of skillful massage therapists, we believe that health and wellness is of utmost importance in order to thrive in today’s stressful environment.

Synergy offers a variety of massage styles to suit each individual’s needs. Both Eastern and Western modalities are available in our five therapy rooms. We believe that massage and allied therapies are crucial in any healthcare program. An individual with chronic pain and physical restrictions cannot achieve his or her full potential in whatever profession or service they are in. Our hope is to facilitate the healing process and support the individual who is willing to participate in bodywork. Our goal is to be a part our clients’ self-care program; to be a respite from the chaos of the outside world — a small oasis in downtown Rockland Maine.

If you have questions about Synergy Massage & Bodywork, or would like to schedule an appointment, please call 594-2122 or email us at synergyrockland@yahoo.com.  For more information, please visit www.synergyrockland.com

Vacation Rentals

Camden Accomodations

Barbara C. Heard is President and co-owner of Camden Accommodations with her daughter and son-in-law Casey Heard-Leonard and Casey Leonard. Camden Accommodations is a vacation rental agency specializing in weekly vacation rentals throughout the Camden-Rockland area. We represent properties which are located on the ocean, lakes and ponds, many village locations, on the top of a mountain with 180 degree panoramic views of Penobscot Bay and the islands and even an old Maine summer cottage on the island of Islesboro.

Camden Accommodations is discriminating in the properties we represent; we want to make sure it is a good fit for both Camden Accommodations and the owner. Once we have entered into an agreement with a property owner we work very hard to find guests for the property. We market the properties in as many locations as possible to increase exposure and visibility of our properties. We also pride ourselves on the number of return guests we have, which means we are helping people find the most appropriate vacation rental for their needs.

Our goal is not to represent the most properties, but to represent beautiful properties and to work hard to represent them well. We believe our job is two-fold; to work with property owners and their homes, and to work with guests. Since 1994 we have built a stellar reputation doing both.

We can be contacted by phone 800-344-4830 on our web site www.camdenac.com or
