Recommendations anyone? (Portland, OR metro area)

We are about to undertake the task of doing some remodeling on our house and I could use any advice or recommendations of contractors. Here's what we're looking to do in the next couple of months...

• Painting (exterior/interior)
• New wood fence
• Concrete patio
• Hardwood floor refinishing
• Kitchen cabinets & countertops

If you're in the area and have had any work done on your house and can recommend the people you used or if you or your spouse do this type of work, please email me. Also, any of you who have gone through remodeling and hiring contractors, any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated! :)
