(Sub)contractor suggestions (South Side)
Hi All,
It's been a few months since closing and I'm getting the hang of operating buildings on the south side. So far, so good. Not as many unpleasant surprises as I'd expected, and even some pleasant ones.
One area where I've still got some holes is finding guys to do the work I'm not doing myself. Would appreciate suggestions/referrals for any of the following who will work on the south side:
1. Drywall/plaster repair. Generally small jobs, but they accumulate. Ceiling work in particular.
2. Tuck-pointing, masonry repair, lintel work.
3. Window screen replacement. Buying screens is easy. Climbing up and down three story ladders to measure and install is not my cup of tea. This would be fine for a general handyman, but it's got to be someone who can reach the windows.
Suggestions for any/all of these would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Allen
