Long standing roots in the community, seemed nice and knowledgable, showed up at noon on the dot for our appointment and gave 2 recs.  All good right? Has anyone used Fred Becker?  Price slightly higher than expected but he&#8217;ll tape and skimcoat all our plaster cracks too. We don&#8217;t want to lose him nor have time to interview many contenders.
