THE FRANKLIN REPORT, a Manhattan-based print and on-line publishing company offering readers the most complete, inside information on top-ranked home service providers, announces the launch of it's second edition of THE FRANKLIN REPORT: NEW YORK CITY, The Insider's Guide to Home Services ($22.50, paperback, original). The first of it's kind, this comprehesive, 480-page survey based on client reviews of the top home service providers in New York City provides ground-breaking information on home service companies and individuals who have achieved national recognition, as well as those who are considered well-kept secrets among industry "insiders." Also included are in-depth overviews on how to hire service providers in 26 home service categories ranging from architects to interior decorators to plumbers, and everything in between. "Our mission is to simplify the task of choosing a home service provider by codifying the 'word-of-mouth' process consumers rely on, and to offer the community a chance to contribute to this on-going dialogue, both in print and on The Franklin Report website. Finding the right person for the job to work in your home can be a daunting experience; there are many choices, not all of them right for the job or the client. THE FRANKLIN REPORT and it's regularly-updated website, has compiled reports on a select group of master artisans, technicians, interior designers, architects and craftspeople based on feedback from thousands of their clients," stat
