Contractor recommendations

We have a narrow 3-story rowhouse in Crown Heights and are looking to do a renovation. Not gut, but after 10 years of living here we are looking to make the place more family friendly: move the kitchen from the garden floor to parlor, add a bathroom, carve out another bedroom on top floor, sand and polish existing floors, some electrical. We are working with an architect who understands how we can be resourceful and looking for a local contractor who has a similar approach. We have a decent budget but understand it’s modest by Brownstoner standards. Looking for contractor recommendations. Thanks in advance for any introductions or leads!

Jeff Green – http://www.gghibrooklyn.com (yes – he’s a “Geoff” but goes by “Jeff”). Very conscientious, very clean work, quote was reasonable and well thought-out. Just don’t call him until he finishes my project 🙂

When we were going to build our nest, we needed any help, because we were quite inexperienced, our contractor (http://www.insidesquad.com/general-contracting-nyc/ ) have done all the work, including the planning and so on. So, it could be useful.
