Business Spotlight: Cell Phone Medic

When your phone cracks, glitches, refuses to charge or drops in the lake, there’s a good chance the team at Cell Phone Medic in Windham has seen it before and fixed it faster than you might expect. The locally owned business, located at 824 Roosevelt Trail, has built a strong reputation for nearly two decades for repairing and restoring phones and tablets with precision and care.

Owner Glenn Thomas said the mission has always been to help people get more life out of their devices instead of replacing them unnecessarily.

At Cell Phone Medic, services range from cracked screens and battery replacements to fixing charging issues, virus removal and even data recovery. They work on nearly every brand and model and if they don’t have the part they can get it.

If your device takes a dip or gets soaked in a spill, Cell Phone Medic is ready for action. “Liquid damage is one of the toughest calls. You can’t just put your phone in rice and hope for the best,” said Thomas. His technicians are trained to tackle water-logged or moisture-affected phones and tablets using specialized drying and de-contamination procedures to salvage data, fix corrosion on charge ports, and restore functionality whenever possible.

Cell Phone Medic also buys, recycles and restores devices, giving customers sustainable and affordable options to stay connected.

Think your phone is junk? Not taking a charge? Skip the hype of the latest phone model (what’s so great about it anyway?) and the extra monthly fees, Cell Phone Medic offers an affordable alternative. They can refurbish your phone to like new condition or have phones and tablets in stock every day, providing you with the reliable tech you need without the unnecessary cost. Unlike big box stores, which only push new sales, Cell Phone Medic focuses on quality repairs and value to their customers, keeping your device, and your wallet, happy.

“We provide excellent cell phone and iPad options, so our customers don’t have to buy a brand-new device every time something goes wrong,” Thomas said. “We sell fully restored phones and iPads that come with a one-year warranty and offer the same high quality you’d expect from a new one.”

Thomas said most clients stress that fast turnaround time is especially important. “Everyone depends on their phone now,” he said. “People can’t be without it for days, so our goal is to have a fast, same-day turnaround whenever possible.”

That dedication to speed, quality and customer service has earned the business an impressive 1,300 five-star Google reviews. Many mention not only the quick service but also the care and attention shown by Thomas and his staff. “The feedback has been incredible,” Thomas said. “Most of the big box cellular stores in the area trust us with their customers when they can’t handle a repair. That means a lot.”

The business also sells accessories such as durable CellHelmet cases, chargers and a line of custom-cut screen protectors from ProtectionPro, which is installed flawflessly on-site in about 10 minutes. “They’re available in gloss, anti-glare or privacy versions, and they come with a lifetime warranty,” Thomas said. “They’re cost-effective, too at only $29.99 or $39.99 for the privacy option.”

Thomas said what separates Cell Phone Medic from its competitors is commitment to their customers’ needs. “We offer fair prices for high-quality service,” he said. “Sure, we could buy cheaper parts like some others do, but we choose quality. That means we may not always have the lowest price, but we can price-match or even offer a used part as an option. Either way, we stand behind our work.”

He added that his team always puts the customer first. “We take the time to find the best option for the customer, not for us,” Thomas said. “We double-dog dare anyone in Maine to find better reviews than at Cell Phone Medic.”

The business has also carved out a distinctive brand identity built around its name and the tagline says it all: ‘Your phone is in a war zone’. “We respect the troops on the battlefield and use that same mindset,” Thomas said. “We go to great lengths to save your device. Around here, failure is not an option.”

Since officially opening his shop in 2007, Cell Phone Medic has developed a reputation for dependable work, fast turnaround times, and a personal touch that’s hard to find in the corporate tech world.

“Most of our customers are repeat customers,” Thomas said. “They know we’ll take care of them. We don’t just fix phones, we build trust.”

And remember, if you are in the market for a new cell phone or iPad, but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, go see Cell Phone Medic first. They offer A-grade restored unlocked phones and tablets that have been tested, have good batteries, and screens so you can save money without sacrificing reliability.

For more information and to see used inventory visit www.cellphonemedic.com or call 207-956-9999. They are open Monday through Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m and Sundays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can also find them on Facebook.

Business Spotlight: Vitality Room

When most people hear the term wellness center, they imagine massage tables, yoga mats, or meditation rooms. But there’s a hidden gem in Windham redefining what wellness looks—and feels—like. Located at 104 Tandberg Trail in Windham (in the same building as Mullens Driving School), Vitality Room offers cutting-edge, deeply restorative services using sound, light, color, frequency, negative ions, and energetic balancing. And the results? Their clients are raving.

You may already know their signature service: the Harmonic Egg® – a futuristic, private relaxation chamber that uses precisely calibrated sound and light frequencies to restore the body at a cellular level. There are only two Harmonic Eggs® in the entire state of Maine, and one of them is right here. People travel from hours away to experience it.

“It’s ‘egg day!’ Twice a month, I drive 3 hours with my dog just to get to Vitality Room. After my session in the Harmonic Egg®, I feel mentally clear, emotionally grounded, and physically energized. These visits give my mind, body, and spirit everything they need so I can perform my best.” – Vitality Member
Why does the Harmonic Egg® work so well?

The Egg delivers coherent frequencies—organized, harmonious vibrational patterns—that help the body shift out of stress mode and into healing mode. Many clients report relief from anxiety, pain, inflammation, insomnia, trauma, and more—even when nothing else has helped.
But Vitality Room doesn’t stop there.

Detox, Digest, and Heal—Without Water or Needles
One of their newest client favorites is the AO Infinity Foot Detox. Unlike traditional detox foot baths, this service is completely waterless. Instead, gentle megahertz frequencies are pulsed through the soles of the feet, encouraging circulation, lymphatic flow, and immune response. At the same time, an infrared vibrating waist belt stimulates digestive and detox organs.

“I was struggling with digestive issues, sciatica, and knee pain. I did the AO Foot Detox and then an Egg session focused on sciatica—and everything improved! My knee and digestion felt better immediately, and my sciatica was gone within 24 hours.” – Package Holder

If you’ve ever been curious about acupuncture, but not the needles, the AO Infinity Wand may be the perfect alternative. This session blends terahertz frequency, ionic gold/silver exchange, red and blue light, chakra stones, and acupoint energy work for a deeply personalized healing experience.

Every session begins with structured water, electrolytes, and calming therapeutic music. Founder Michelle Buck performs a gentle “neuro-reset” to quiet the nervous system before applying targeted terahertz energy to the body.

“I’ve been recovering from Bell’s Palsy. I can feel the nerves in my face waking up when we use the wand. Combined with Harmonic Egg® sessions that focus on liver and nerve support, my progress has been remarkable. I leave buzzing from head to toe.” – Pay-As-You-Go Client

The FIRST AO Rain 2.0 in All of New England!

Vitality Room is also home to the brand-new AO Rain 2.0, a breakthrough negative ion shower—with no water involved! It feels like rainfall without getting wet.

Why is this powerful?
Nature produces 10,000–20,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter in environments like waterfalls or forests. The AO Rain delivers 1.4 million per cubic centimeter—up to 140x more than nature itself!
Negative ions neutralize positive ions and free radicals. It’s like dosing your whole body with antioxidants without ingesting a supplement. This is known to improve mood, increase energy, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. 

“I struggle with chronic fatigue from my cancer treatment. The AO Rain helps me feel energized without more medication. Michelle said it charges my mitochondria in 20–30 minutes—and I can feel it!” – 
Membership Holder

The Story Behind the Space
Vitality Room opened almost two years ago after founder Michelle Buck left a high-stress, 16-year corporate career. Burned out and struggling with anxiety and depression, she found the Harmonic Egg®—and everything changed.

“The Egg eliminated my anxiety and depression and brought joy back into my life. Frequency healing is fascinating—there’s so much potential to support the body. As I learn new modalities, I bring them in to help clients in deeper ways. Each service has a unique role in our healing journey.” – MB
“Wellness is Not a Destination. It’s a Vibration. Let’s Align Yours.”

needs with expertise in plumbing, heating and cooling
and heat pumps. COURTESY PHOTO 

Based at 299 Roosevelt Trail in Windham and owned and operated since 2015 by Bill Sterling, the 207 Plumbing & Heating team is highly professional, experienced and dedicated to customer satisfaction. Serving Southern Maine including Windham and the Lakes Region, 207 Plumbing & Heating is fully licensed and insured and offers affordable solutions to fit customer needs with expertise in plumbing, heating and cooling and heat pumps.

“In this day and age, it’s a challenge to be fairly priced,” Sterling said. “But we remain competitive with our pricing and will stay that way. We care about the quality of our work, are compassionate about our customers and like those in our community whom we serve, we are locally owned and live here too.”

Sterling has more than 21 years of heating and plumbing experience and leads a team of 8 employees who are responsive when called upon and pay attention and listen to their customers.

“We never try and upsell anyone,” Sterling said. “We give our customers great quality service.”

He says 207 Plumbing & Heating strives to determine the best solution for plumbing repair needs and to find the most efficient way to install new plumbing fixtures.

“Because we have worked on so many projects, we think outside the box for solutions that meet your needs and budget,” Sterling said. “We use the highest quality materials and top manufacturers to complete repairs so you can count on long-lasting results and efficient products and fixtures.”

The same is true for heating systems as 207 technicians repair, maintain and install oil, propane and natural gas furnaces and boilers, with the expertise to get the job done correctly and professionally.

“We keep up to date on the latest technologies and have the experience to work with older systems as well,” Sterling said.

The company also installs heat pumps and provides heat pump maintenance and repairs, can resolve sewer and septic line clogs and even provides sewer and plumbing line camera inspections when needed. It offers convenient maintenance and service agreements for total homeowner peace of mind.

They were a 2025 Eagle Choice Award gold winner for plumbing services and also took home the gold title for plumbers and bronze for heating/air in the 2024 Best of the 207 competition. The more than 350 online reviews for 207 Plumbing & Heating are also exceptional.

“207 replaced my water tank, installed a sediment filter and serviced our furnace. When the furnace was running too rich, they came right out and fixed the settings and restarted everything and cleaned the space around the furnace before they left. They were efficient, polite, and knowledgeable with the different systems. Great job all around- thank you!!” ~ Missy Willette

“207 Plumbing and Heating was amazing to work with. They were able to deal with two issues I had at two separate properties the same day I called. They were professional and their communication was top notch. I will definitely be recommending them in the future!” ~ Andrea Raynor

“5 stars. We had lost furnace driven hot water after a subzero freeze, but still had heat pumps working for heat and there were no leaks anywhere, so it was not an emergency. Maura got right back to me when I called and as it wasn’t an urgent matter, put me on the schedule the next day. Wound up only needing an overdue service as my hot water returned on its own. Bill arrived earlier than planned and was polite, professional and worked very clean. I am very happy with their services and will use them again in the future.” ~ Patrick Reed

“We ran into a bind with a burst pipe. The guys at 207 Plumbing and Heating responded to our call quickly. They were friendly and got the job done quickly with no problems. They were very professional and cleaned up their work stuff. I would recommend the folks at 207 Heating and Plumbing.” ~ Eric Colby

Sterling says that much of the success for 207 Plumbing & Heating comes from its employees caring for their customers.

“Tom came to our property and helped us figure out the best plan for protecting our buildings from old or damaged trees. He also worked with us to stay within our budget. When his crew arrived, they had the equipment to get a lot done in a short amount of time, and when they left the yard was so neat that you never would’ve known what they’d done.” ~ L. Magiera

“We reached out to Tom and Rocky Roots to come out to our place and put together a grid of our shoreland and wooded area. After he did the grid, he walked our property with me and explained everything that he could do. We scheduled him and his crew to come and do the work, which was pretty extensive. They did an amazing job and did an amazing job cleaning up after. There is no doubt that we will use them for any future work at our place. Tom and his crew were very professional! I highly recommend Rocky Roots.” S. O’Teri

“We recently hired Tom and his team for a two-phase project. The first phase was a 5-day long tree work removal project near the shoreline, which is now complete. Tom and team did an incredible job from the upfront scoping and permitting/gridwork with Tom and Mackenzie, through the actual five days of tree removal which included crane work. Tom’s team is incredibly hardworking, polite and respectful, and true experts/professionals at what they do. He brought thoughtful ideas and did a tremendous job working within our budget. We’re extremely pleased and look forward to the upcoming excavating phase to round out the project.” ~ J. Soucy

fix anything from classic to modern vehicles and everything
in between and you can rely on them for honest service
and affordable pricing. COURTESY PHOTO  

Owned and operated by Levi Tinker since 2017, the garage moved to a larger location at 51 Tandberg Trail just over a year ago. The Tinker Automotive Services team of technicians strive to perform the highest quality vehicle repairs with courtesy, respect and expertise. They are trusted to never upsell you on repairs you don't need and always have proof to back up their reasoning for work needed.

“We’re grateful to be able to serve this community and have made so many wonderful friends through the years.” Tinker said.

His skills in auto repair began at a young age and have helped him earn a legion of devoted customers who rely on Tinker’s expertise and honesty in diagnosing and resolving troublesome auto issues.

“Even as a kid, I would go to the town dump to see if I could find a bike to fix up,” Tinker said. “For me, it was so much fun to take a broken bike and get it up and running again. There was a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in that. And there still is.”

Having worked in the automotive repair business for his entire adult life, Tinker worked his way up to owning his own repair shop through hard work, honesty and delivering exceptional results on time while ensuring customer costs are as low as possible.

Tinker takes pride in being able to explain the extent of the repair work required in understandable terms to his customers.

“A big thank you to Tinker’s Auto Service for taking the time to check my vehicle when I didn’t have an appointment to do so. It concerned my A/C, and I was told if I have any more problems with it to call and they will be able to put it up on the lift to check further as the lift was already being used. I would recommend Tinker’s to anyone that is having issues with a vehicle. They are wonderful to work with, and I appreciate the quick action they took to help me." ~ Janet Kimball Snow

“If I don’t have my truck, my business comes to a screeching halt. Not only did Tinker’s get my truck into their shop quickly, but they diagnosed and fixed the issue (front brakes, pads and rotors) that same day. Most shops would have done that over 2 days, but Tinker’s worked their magic and busted that sucker out in half that time! I’m truly appreciative of everything they do. From the great communication about what needs to be fixed, to the hard work that the mechanics do to make those repairs happen in a timely manner. Thank you all for being trustworthy, reliable, and honest, it’s truly appreciated.” ~ Michael Pressey

“We were referred to Tinker Automotive when our current mechanic retired. We were planning a long family road trip with our kiddos and wanted a thorough check of my vehicle before we hit the road. I immediately felt relieved by the fantastic customer service and great communication with everyone at the shop. When I needed to stop in with my kids, they had toys and treats to keep them busy and were all very kind. We had multiple issues with my vehicle that needed repair. The shop was thorough and very fair with their assessment and pricing. We feel that they went above and beyond to help us get on the road safely. It isn’t often that you find a kind and honest automotive shop that is this great at repairs. We are happy to have found them and highly recommend to anyone in need of a good mechanic.” ~ Lynnsey Flynn

Business Spotlight: Blush & Brow

Permanent makeup service offered at Blush & Brow is designed with a simple goal of making people feel comfortable and to truly love their new look.

Samantha Clark is an expert at permanent and
event makeup services and fine line tattoos. 
SUBMITTED PHOTO

Located at 100 Tandberg Trail in Windham and owned and operated by Samantha Clark, Blush & Brow features an array of services ranging from microblading, powder brows, saline removal services, eyeliner, lip blushing, wedding or event makeup, and fine line tattoos. 

Permanent makeup involves applying pigments into the skin’s dermal layer to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyes and lips and is popular with people seeking low-maintenance beauty services.

Clark is a Certified Makeup Artist, Licensed Permanent Makeup Artist, and a Licensed Fine Line body tattoo artist. She’s also certified as a Permanent Makeup Removal Specialist and Trainer.

What distinguishes Blush & Brow from other companies is the experience that Clark creates for her clients.

“I know my permanent makeup services can be very nerve wracking to someone who has never had it done before and as well as tattoos,” she said. “I get a lot of first- time tattoo clients. I like to try and make the process comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. There are so many great artists around who do what I do but my work is distinguished by how natural and customized it looks. I don’t believe in the ‘one-size-fits-all’ type thing. All faces and brows are different, so I customize everyone’s permanent makeup that best suits their natural features. Fine line tattooing is a niche style that not many tattoo artists focus on. Fine line work requires a very steady hand, precision, and an artistic eye – combining that with permanent makeup training allows me to create delicate, detailed results that stand out.”

According to Clark, a common misconception about permanent makeup is that it’s just about beauty.

“It’s also about confidence,” she said. “We’re not just applying pigment, we’re helping people feel like their best selves every day. And or if you want to just combine both into one a misconception would also be that fine line tattooing and permanent makeup are ‘quick or easy’ to do. But behind every thin line or natural brow is hours of practice, lots of training, a steady hand and an eye for balance and detail.”

In business for five years, Clark got started in the beauty field about 14 years ago as a certified makeup artist.

“I would constantly hear my clients say they wish they had their brows microbladed and wish they could be fixed,” she said. “I had no idea what microblading was back then. I looked into it and it was so fascinating to me. When COVID happened, I lost all my weddings that year, which was a huge financial strain. I was then approached by a microblading artist asking if I would have any interest in doing an apprenticeship. I was so excited to dive into this and learn more, so I did. A year later Maine changed the rules and regulations so that any microblading artist had to go on to get their micropigmentation license to be able to continue working.

Because Maine had no classes or schools for that at the time, she attended the Massachusetts Academy of Beautiology and graduated before going on to pass the American Academy of Micropigmentation Boards, earning a certificate so that she could become licensed in Maine.

“Learning micropigmentation opened the doors for learning tattooing,” Clark said. “After two years of being a licensed micropigmentation permanent makeup artist my creative brain wanted to learn more about fine line tattooing because I have always loved the look of dainty and delicate tattoos and Maine doesn’t have a ton of fine line tattoo specialists. I took a fine line tattoo class for micropigmentation artists and spent six to eight months learning and just practicing non-stop until I felt confident to work on real skin. I’ve now been licensed as a body tattoo artist for three years now and it was the best decision I’ve made to add this into my services.”

Blush & Brow clients tell Clark they love her attention to detail, how cozy and welcoming her studio is, and how comfortable they feel when they’re there.

“I really put my whole heart in everything I do and am so grateful for my amazing clients,” she said. “My business is built on artistry, safety and trust and specializing in creating work that feels personal and unique and not about trends and cookie cutter results.”
