Home Depot, Lowes or local hardware store and a screwdriver.

> do floor work in the kitchen

Depending on exactly what you mean by "floor work" this could also be Home Depot or Lowes and a few more tools than a screwdriver.

> get trees in the backyard trimmed

If they are small enough to be trimmed using a pole saw (https://sawsreviewed.com/pole-saws/guide/#Manual_Pole_Saw) then this is also Home Depot, Lowes, or local hardware store (to get a pole saw).

If they are too large for that, then one option which often works is to ask neighbors if they have a preferred tree company.

> How do you figure this stuff out?

The vast majority I do myself. Otherwise if you are afraid of being scammed by a google result, asking neighbors who they use (if they use someone) is often a reliable way to find reasonable leads.
