Visiting Mom - Need Handyman/Cleaner

Shawn Q.

I'm visiting my mother in Pompano Beach next week and there's some work I'd like to bid or even have done while I'm there (if the timing works). I need a handyman to fix a small through-window leak from the outside and reinforce a corner of the Florida room (some damage at the top of the jalousie windows without removing or damaging them). Might also remove a drop ceiling in the kitchen and add a light/fan, and/or re-grout the step-in shower in the back bathroom. Those last items would depend on cost (I'm just starting my real estate journey, so I don't have money to burn). 

We also need a bit of a cleanout/labor at my uncle's condo down the hall. He has a bunch of broken furniture and stuff that needs to be curbed. Then he'll need a deep clean, then someone to level his concrete floor and install some new flooring he has on hand, then clean again (it's that bad). 

So, any recommendations for a good reliable handyman and a housecleaner that aren't too wildly expensive in the area?
