I have great relationships with him, referring other clients, and he always shows me how to do it right way, and I already did multiple things by myself - making window screens, painting of 8 interior doors in 2 days, hardware for kitchen cabinets, replacing bathroom faucets etc.

New cabinets instead of painting existing ones with new hardware. 

There is a list of items needed to make the home truly accessible including:Bathroom renovationThe should be able to turn a wheelchair around Add grab bars for the toilet and tub/showerChange all of the door hardware to handlesLower home controls including thermostat and possibly switches Good luck

Another way to find contractors is by going to your local hardware store early in the morning.

This isn't the Commonwealth, your wallet will be emptied faster than you can say "Herring was a dope rapper!"

We completely remodeled the unit interiors w/ new appliances, counters, plumbing/lighting fixtures, doors w/ hardware, and vinyl plank flooring as well as installing new vinyl windows in every unit.

Paint the cabinets a solid color that coordinates with the counters (which look new) and replace the missing drawer, add cheap cabinet hardware, a microwave/hood combo and do a tile shower surround or replace the surround with one that isn't so drab.

LOL  just like during the gold rush it was the hardware stores and bars that cleaned up.

Tenants are like pizza joint, tax services, hardware store, catering, ... supplies....and so on The syndicate is new and getting stable.

If a strongly worded letter might help loosen up her wallet it might be worth it to pursue.
