rec for handy man and plumber costs?
Also can anyone recommend someone to do a simple contracting job, painting and flooring and perhaps
new
opening for a wall and some drywall work- moving entry from one place to
another but very simple. its for
our basement/playroom den...does not have to be absolutely immaculate job. will
not pay
top price for this area. wnat a very handy person rather than a full fledged busy contractor for this small job.
I also need to have a new hot water heater installed? what do you expect the
cost from a
plumber to do this? I am getting huge diffferences in quotes?
thanks

The handyman mystery has been solved
William "Junior" Prates has been sick; his wife just emailed me to let me know. I'll post comments on his work and if he's good, a recommendation, as I've found the recommendations made by others very helpful.
Thoughts on handyman named William "Junior" Prates?
I hired a handyman that was recommended through this site, William "Junior" Prates, and I wonder if anyone has had a bad experience with him. He has been late in starting the job in my apartment and now, I can't track him or his wife down, so I'm starting to get worried, as I paid 50% of the agreed-upon price last week. It could be that something came up and this is why he hasn't yet returned my calls, but it might also be that I've been taken in for a ride. Thoughts?

I need work done in the basement of my brownstone. The basement is very damp and there appears to be mold and a pungent smell. Can anyone recommend a handyman or contractor who can fix this problem?

Can anyone recommend a quality contractor or handy man in the Bed Stuy area? We are looking to do some finishing work around the house (3 story brownstone) - sanding/staining doors and shutters, some painting, potential masonry (patio installation).
Thanks.
