Contractor/Plumber/Deck work in Columbia, MD

[Mandana Shahbazi]

Hi BP Community,

We are looking for referrals for Howard County, Columbia Maryland, (Just South of Baltimore). We are doing bathroom remodels, flooring work, deck repair/replacement and some minor plumbing issues. Any referrals for plumbers, carpenters, handymen, contractors would be greatly appreciated. 

Q. Jay Scott, in his book on estimating rehab costs, states that it is better to have a carpenter d the deck work, instead of a deck repair company or a handyman. What are your thoughts or feedback on this?

Q. What type of contractor would you use for bathroom remodels? Plumbers? Handyman? J. Scott seems to suggest plumbers as they have, "appropriate licensing and insurance". What are your thoughts/feedback?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I appreciate your responses. 

Stay safe
