Greetings Brooklyn Pete:
It's not a shameless plug. Being a not for profit, we can't endorse anyone. But we were obligated to include them in the promotion since Smith's and Markowitz's office assisted with mailing, flyering and publicity. It was the community based organizations who were at the forefront in organizing the event, not the elected officials.

Yikes, I do not recommend doing any plumbing or electrical. I haven't needed a plumber but I needed an electrician and I used Christopher John Electrical. They were very pleasant and when they came out they did an inspection of my home so that I knew what needed done or updated. They were not pushy at all, cleaned up well after themselves and were on time. It was an overall pleasant experience and the work that I need done I am doing in phases. Enjoy your new home!!!
