I’m just about to close on my first apartment. It’s renovated but I have some small things I would like to do. I think they can be done by an experienced handyman rather than a contractor. Here’s what I want to do:
–Put lights on dimmers
–Install ceiling fan (overhead light is already there)
–Install a shower door
–Put shelves in a closet
–Replace the kitchen sink (with one the same size)
–Install a glass backsplash in the kitchen.
–Painting (although I might do that myself)

So, can a handyman do all of this? If so, anyone have any good recommendations?

Thanks

  1. I had similar work done last year and used Gus, who I found on Brownstoner. He was great, and other ppl to whom we recommended him were very pleased as well. 646 491 3226.

  2. Shower door might want someone who isn’t quite such a jack-of-all-trades as the other tasks. Depends on what kind of surround & tub you have.
