I was just about to post my contractor's information. He is just about finished with my house and my husband and I are very happy with his work. We would like to spread the word around. He did a complete renovation of our four story townhouse taking great care not to damage the original details that we love so much. He is very responsible, dedicated to his work, reliable and honest. He was there daily and was involved with every aspect of the job from demolition to painting. Again, we are very happy and therefore would like to spread the news. He's licensed and insured. His name is Thahal Beer (Beer) and his company is Beer Home Improvement. His number is (646) 358-6118.

There are many contractor references throughout this site, I will refer another anyhow (Transcend Contracting, 718-369-0996), one I have used and will use again.

While initially searching for a contractor one of the important things to me was finding someone that I can establish a relationship with, one that can be used over and again. When things go right or wrong you are more likely to communicate and work things out with someone you have a relationship with and are looking to do business with in the future. I don't plan to do major work again for some time, but there will always be things that pop up and I like knowing there's someone I can call, and they know me. Of course there's no sure way to know whether someone will be around in the future or if they will be responsive; but you do the best you can while you're spending hard earned money, hoping they will appreciate and reciprocate down the line.

So my advice is cast your net wide and try to find a contractor that not only does good work but that you can also get to know and is as willing to work with you again as you are with them.
