Best Plumbing Contractor Wade Hardin Plumbing 2520 Gillespie St. 910-486-0334 or www.wadehardinplumbinginc.com When you have to call a plumber, it usu- ally involves a matter of personal hardship or inconvenience. That's what makes the compliments Wade Hardin Plumbing has received even more impressive. One client had a basement sump pump issue. "They cleaned the basement of all the trash that would stop it up again,'' he said. "I have used Wade Hardin for almost 40 years and have always had excellent service from my guys.'' In another situation, two servicemen from Wade Hardin showed up to repair a lift station. It began pouring rain, and the customer figured he'd have to wait a day for the work to be done. The two men worked through the downpour to get the problem corrected. "I highly recommend this company and will use them in the future,'' the client said.

Best Bank BB&T Several locations www.BBT.com. Personal banking isn't just a marketing tool at BB&T. It's a commitment. When you bring your banking concerns to BB&T, you'll be assigned a personal banker at the branch nearest you that you can contact directly about any issues with your account or other banking questions. The headquarters of BB&T may be in Winston-Salem, but you'll get a hometown feel whether you're inter- acting with someone at the local branch or speaking with a help bank employee by telephone. Even when the bank is closed, the BB&T smartphone app gives you nearly to- tal control of your accounts to transfer funds, pay bills and be alerted to activity on your various accounts. Founded in 1872, BB&T offers all of the typical banking functions, including checking, savings, insurance, investments and more.

BB&T seeks to make the world a better place by helping clients achieve suc- cess and security while creating a workplace where its employees learn and grow, making places like Fayetteville where the bank calls home better places to live. Best Credit Union State Employees Credit Union Several Locations 888-732-8562 or www.ncsecu.org If there's a Swiss Army knife when it comes to providing financial assistance to its clients, the State Employees Credit Union just might be it. If its variety of services was printed like a restau- rant menu, you'd need more than a few pages to include everything that's offered. SECU offers the usual listing of financial ser- vices. But that barely scratches the surface. Take cars, for example. The services offered include both buying and renting cars, car valu- ations and vehicle loans. For homeowners and homebuyers, SECU deals with mortgages and home equity credit. They do a variety of loans from open-end signature, student loans and even salary advance. They also offer help with insurance, investments, financial and retire- ment planning. There's also the typical array of automated services, including ATMs, direct deposit, funds transfer, overdraft protection and payroll deduction. And when taxes are due, they can help there, as well. It's definitely a one-stop financial needs dream.
