GC for bathroom & kitchen reno?
We're looking for a reliable, good g.c. for a gut renovation. The bathroom is our #1 priority; we would love to do the kitchen at the same time, but we'll need to see how much it costs.
Any recommendations on contractors for this small-ish job? This is our first reno, so we're looking for someone reasonably priced, who is a good communicator and will do good work.

HI there,
My name is Philip and I must say if you are looking to renovate a bathroom you should definietly contact Mr. Patrick. Last year Mr. patrick worked alongside my wife and I to renovate three bathrooms in out two-story house. He did a terrific job. He gave us a wide selection of tiles, colors, patterns etc to chose from. My wife was delightened. He was also very reasonable with the pricing. I can show you some pictures if you are interested. Just let me know. Anyhow you can reach Mr. Patrick 1646-945-7315.

wow...i was about to write almost the exact same post! I'd love to hear some recos as well.
Also has anyone ever done a kitchen reno where they actually took on parts of the job? i can see doing the demo or painting to save some bucks...what about, say, taking care of cabinets (if they were ikea or something) or buying the supplies? was there anything anyone really saved some money on?
kensingtonian...can i email you too? do you have any photos?

CGmodern, those are great questions (and I'm curious about the answers). I'd re-post them in the main forum; you'll probably get more traffic.

CGmodern, sure you can email me. I have photos but I am willing to show you his work in person (you'll get a much better sense that way). Feel free to discuss over email.

I took on the demolition of kitchen myself. Very easy. Great stress reducer. Cost me 20 bucks to buy the destruction tools :-). took me about 3 hours to completely demolish it. Very easy and saves loads of money. There are small details you have to make sure to do and I would love to let you know what you have to make sure to do. Please feel free to email me. Oleg straightened out walls and did all my wiring and I got the kitchen guys to hang cabinets (which ended up a bit of a disaster) that Oleg somewhat fixed and then he came in and installed my fridge and stove and microwave. I would DEFINITELY stick with IKEA. Oleg does the cabinet installations and can help you measure and set up the kitchen (He has done it for someone I know).

Hey Kensingtonian,
I'm in Kensington also and I'm looking to reno my kitchen. I need a licensed electrician with insurance papers to satisfy the board so I can run some outlets. Do you know anyone? email onyesoh@hotmail.com or post here. Thanks mate!

Sorry camp. I kinda did mine myself with my friend's help on the DL (I know I know I can get in loads of trouble with the board). Licensed guys just want too much money, it's ridiculous. It's pretty simple cookie cutter thing to do. Just running a couple of bx cables from existing outlets is no big deal. The only way I would hire a licensed guy is if I needed to rewire the fuse box and needed all new wiring.
Try the forums. A couple of regulars recommended electricians but I can't give personal recommendations for anyone.
