PLUMBING WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH

FAMILY, EXPERIENCE, & COMMUNITY

Family matters most at Chet Craig Plumbing and they can’t wait for you to become part of theirs. Chet and Debbie Craig have raised their children and now their grandchildren right here in North Central Florida. They understand that keeping your family happy and healthy is a priority because they live by the same beliefs.

Chet Craig Plumbing was founded in 2005 and has plumbed more than 700 homes in Marion County alone in the past year, both commercial and residential. Whether it’s remodeling, re-piping, pool heating systems, drain cleaning, pool pumps and filters, video line inspection, gas piping and service, green plumbing, or water heaters, both gas and electric, as well as tankless and solar, Chet Craig Plumbing’s experienced team will take care of everything you need.

Living in Horse Country gives them a unique opportunity to be a part of that community by providing equestrian plumbing while focusing on high-quality service and customer satisfaction. Chet Craig Plumbing will do everything they can to meet your expectations.

Community is important to the Craigs. Chet and Debbie have been part of this community for more than 25 years and are involved in many local events and organizations including the Ocala Junior League and the Ocala Royal Dames for Cancer Research as well as the Marion Rotary Duck Derby and Fling at the Spring at Silver Springs State Park. They also are huge supporters of Lake Weir Athletics and the Hurricanes Junior Cheer Team as well as Forest High School Athletics Cheer.

Chet Craig Plumbing was there to help after the break-in and vandalization of Trout Lake Nature Center and installed a new water fountain with bottle-refilling capability. In a letter of appreciation from the center, executive director Eileen Tramontana said, “Your willingness to install our replacement water fountain was wonderful. And, as we learned, our maintenance volunteers would probably not been able to do the job very easily.”

Chet Craig Plumbing is a full-service plumbing company, licensed and insured using the latest technology in plumbing and solar energy equipment. They also care about our environment. Creating a cleaner environment is not only a goal they want to help you achieve, but an individual choice they can help you make to contribute on a national scale, as well. They can talk with you about integrating solar into your electricity and heating systems whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner. Among their projects are hotels/motels, homes, apartments and condos, restaurants, office buildings, sewage/water treatment plants, and auto dealerships and service centers. They’ve also been part of the construction of custom homes like one that was a little over 9,000 square feet in Bellwether and new builds at Jb Ranch Homes, as well as Legendary Trails with Arthur Ruttenberg Homes.

Chet Craig Plumbing is always on the forefront of the latest systems and technologies to benefit you like the GreenTech pureWash Pro X2 detergentless laundry system-

ozone generator for washing machines. They can install one for you today and you won’t ever have to buy laundry detergent again! It’s ideal for those with chemical allergies or who are just tired of the high price of laundry detergent.

Late night emergencies don’t faze them, either. They understand that things happen and some of them are stinky… literally. They were recently able to avert a crisis during a main line water break at Paddock Place Apartments.

Even in Florida, our pools get chilly in the cooler months. You can swim year-round when you have Chet Craig Plumbing install a solar pool system or pool water heater.

Hello Gorgeous

about themselves.

Perhaps it comes from having a staff with more than 20 years of experience in the aesthetic industry, 14 of it herself. The staff all share a desire to help bring affordable and patient-centered medical care to the community. As an aesthetic injector herself and a certified registered nurse

Julia Floyd, owner of Elite MediSpa in Trenton, Florida, and one of its skilled injectors, wants to help all individuals feel good

anesthesiologist since 2009, Julia works to makes sure her staff of 12 aesthetic and health-care providers delivers the best care they can.

Julia’s team, which includes her husband, John Floyd, CRNA, NSPM-C who joined the team last year as an injector, sees patients with all sorts of skin concerns, and provides the latest in aesthetic and numerous anti-aging treatments.

With a well-trained team behind her, including registered nurses, a medical director, a nurse practitioner, cosmetologists, aestheticians, and a cosmetic tattoo professional, who makes Elite MediSpa able to offer this innovative technology designed for women and men who desire anti-aging aesthetic, regenerative and wellness procedures, the team can handle all types of skin and anti-aging concerns.

The staff receives near-constant training on the latest techniques in the industry to keep ahead.

“We are always engaged in continuing education,” Julia said. “We spent over $60,000 on education last year alone. It is key to a successful aesthetic business and since treatments and techniques are always evolving, it’s imperative that we learn these treatments and techniques to stay current at Elite.”

Many people avoid places like Elite MediSpa because they fear the pain or the pain in the wallet.

Julia has some advice for these people.

“Don’t delay, we have many ways to help people combat any pain factors,” Julia said. “For instance, upon arrival for aesthetic injectables, we apply prescriptionstrength compounded numbing cream, if’s that’s not sufficient, we offer nerve blocks and laughing gas administered by my husband who has a master’s fellowship in non-surgical pain management.”

It’s just one of the many methods the team at Elite MediSpa has at its disposal to put folks at ease.

As far as payment is concerned, because many services offered at Elite MediSpa are cash only – cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance -- Elite MediSpa offers competitive rates and discount coupons.

With treatments ranging from just $40 to $1,000, the Elite MediSpa offers financing through Cherry, which gives patients affordable payment plans, some as low as zero-percent interest.

The Elite MediSpa also provides new and returning patients with coupons to help reduce the cost of some procedures, and it has a generous and extensive rewards program that make procedures affordable for a variety of patients.

ANTI-AGING CLINIC MED-SPA

WELCOME TO THE SUNNY SIDE

There’s nothing better than a sunny day, a frosty pint of a locally crafted beer and a good read.

Visitors and locals alike know they can enjoy all three at The Sunny Pint taproom and eatery.

Owned and operated by Simone Waddell and Susan Sidoti, the formula has been so successful in Wildwood that the women are soon opening a second location of The Sunny Pint, this time about an hour’s drive from Wildwood in Ocala.

They are very excited.

They had lived in Portland, Oregon and noticed several kinds of pub concepts out there, but none were exactly what they envisioned. “There were places that had a great tap list, but little food,” Simone said. “Or there were places that had good food, but not a deep list of local beers. When we moved to Florida and decided to make our dream a reality, we knew instantly that what we wanted was a great number of beers on tap and great food.”

The Sunny Pint opened in February 2020 and has not looked back, even

during the pandemic. The clientele during the day seems to spring from The Villages (a local age-restricted community) and at night, it tends to a younger professional crowd.

“It’s an eclectic group at night,” Simone said. “We’re getting younger working folks and outdoorsy people. It’s a good mix.”

At the Wildwood location, the women have 36 taps of locally crafted beer that are grouped by styles and rotated frequently. They also have more than just peanuts and pretzels on the menu.

From a teeming charcuterie plate to a mezze plate stacked with feta cheese, hummus, tzatziki, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, and served with toasted bread sticks and choice of grape leaves, chicken skewers, or gluten-free crackers, there is always something delicious to eat.

The Sunny Pint also recognizes the

Owners

Sue & Simone

gluten-free menu items. In addition to salads and the above mentioned GF crackers, the taproom proudly serves a gluten-free roll so all its sandwiches can be made as glutenfree as possible in their kitchen.

“We love serving our Cuban sandwich,” Simone said. “It’s authentic, made more so by the authentic bread brought in from Tampa. But gluten-free is important to us, too. Our glutenfree chocolate cake is so good, I eat it and I’m not gluten free. It’s that good. We’re fastidious about our kitchen, our bar, etcetera. It’s part of the culture here and we’ll extend that to our new location in Ocala.”

The women were lucky, Simone said, getting the new space for the newest Sunny Pint because it had brewing equipment. The taproom will become a brewery, and the women hope to start brewing their own beer sometime soon. They’ll start with 16 beers on tap and a slightly different menu.

Voted best happy hour

They also won’t forget the communities they serve. They welcome well-behaved dogs in their outdoor spaces and will continue to host events for the local humane society because “we’re big dog people.”

“We won’t ever lose sight of what makes us unique,” Simone said.

POWER YOUR WORLD WITH IRON SHIELD STRENGTH.

It’s not often that the owners of a heating and air conditioning company and electrical business easily banter about movie characters, but the three founders of Iron Shield Heating and Air LLC and Iron Shield Electric do just that. They have a sense of humor, as noted by their statements, and continue to build their companies into the very best the 352 area has to offer.

Iron Shield Electric co-founders Phillip Wisenbaker aka “The Godfather” and William F. Stiles aka “Big Papi” along with the air conditioning guru himself, Victor

Oquendo, say they primarily service this universal realm and the metaverse, but they serve folks in Marion and surrounding counties as well.

The trio excel at system installations and offer repair or replacements to go along with a dedicated 24/7 emergency service. Every system the trio installs comes with a 10-year (that’s not a typo) parts and labor warranty and they are proud to call themselves native Floridians. Their slogan is “We from here.” They serve the local community and guarantee 100% satisfaction.

What’s your most popular services at both businesses?

Wireless electric is by far our most popular service. The power of the mind is quite something isn’t it?

Phil and William sit in the office and imagine our customers having electricity. We typically ask to be paid in advance for this service because it is highly specialized.

What do you want the community to know about each business?

From the very beginning, we were determined that we would take care of our employees. That these businesses would provide a good and stable income for quality electricians and hvac technicians. Our entire business model is centered around recruiting and taking care of the best of the best of people. We hire All-Stars. Men and women who are highly skilled AND great human beings. And then we set out each day to take care of them to the best of our ability.

How long have both businesses been around?

Both companies were originally born at the Big Bang. Not sure if you’ve heard of it but it is a thing. However, the State of Florida says the electric company has been in business since November 2021 and the AC business since August 2022. With God’s help, a talented team and lots of hard work, we’ve very quickly built the best Electric and Heating and Air Conditioning business in the entire 352 area code.

Is there anything else you want the community to know about both businesses?

Yes, we must make a profit to continue operating as a business but at the end of the day, we are here to serve our employees and to make our community and world a better place to live. God Bless ALL of You and God Bless America!!
