[Highland Park] Excellent landscaping work - great rate
by Michelle Belan 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

For anyone who needs reasonably priced, professional yard work, contact Steese at 412.404.2186. He and his crew work for a large local landscaping contractor; they are all natives of Jamaica and live on my street throughout the landscaping season. They have been doing this for years and they are reliable and trustworthy. My yard looks like a million bucks. I arranged for a delivery of mulch and bought some new plants, and they worked wonders for a great price. Because they work full-time, they hire out for Sundays, or perhaps a Saturday, though this may be rare at this time of year. Michelle Belan michelle(a)belancreative.com

Does anyone have wool carding paddles? I can't find mine and need to demonstrate carding on Friday at Dilworth. I know there are some other wooly fiber maniacs out there! I promise to get them back Friday after school. Thank you! Joan Soulliere

[Highland Park] Painter recommendations final list
by Neepa Majumdar 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Dear all: Since many of you requested the complete list, I'm posting it to the list. Below is the list of recommendations I got, but I've also attached an earlier list compiled on this network that one person also sent me. There were a couple of self-references that I did not add to my list. If you would like these as well, please email me. Once again, thanks to all of you, Neepa Majumdar 1) I JUST HAD MITCH MILLER PAINT THE EXTERIOR OF MY HOME. (MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR HIGHLY RECOMMENDED HIM) HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB-HE WAS ON TIME AND DID A VERY PROFESSIONAL CLEAN AND NEAT JOB. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS COMPANY. HE IS YOUNG, AMBITIOUS AND EXPERIENCED. ALSO INSURED, GIVES FREE ESTIMATES, AND GIVES A WARRANTY. HE DOES BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR PAINTING. PHONE: 412 404-2557 EMAIL: MMAM30(a)GMAIL.COM COMPANY NAME-KILLER PAINTING 2) We have used an individual who works by himself. He is very meticulous and clean. Alan Blitstein 412-421-1040 3) Michael Mironov 412-606-1444: good, fast, reasonable. He is mainly a plasterer, but he did the plastering and painting in two rooms for us last year or so. 4) Paul and Kelly Daugherty (412) 362-9517 did a great job on the exterior of our house, and the interior of a friend's in the neighborhood. They live over on Jackson and have done many houses in the area. After we had a bad experience with another painter (Doug Dunn), the Daugherty's were a breeze to work with. 5) I can recommend Tom Lehner as a good, responsible and very reasonably priced painter. So far he has painted a bathroom, third floor landing and hallway, garage trim and three doors for us. We have asked him to paint our bedroom/dressing room this fall. His cell phone # is 412-215-5914 6) Edge Painting painted the exterior of our house this summer, and we liked them so much we hired them to paint an interior stairwell/hallway. They are good, honest people. Here is their info: Edge Painting: (Jim, the painter) 412-821-3804; Email: edgepainting(a)verizon.net 13 Spring Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15209 7) Eric Mason and Erin Peeples 412-687-7987 I think 8) Jonathan Scruby, lives on Jackson Street. His phone number is 412-362-1124 9) We hired Bob Lampanfield to do painting and wallpaper removal for us. He is very reasonable and does a great job. His number is 412-362-0353. 10) used Bernie Zurowski at (412) 621-6698. He does beautiful work and is a pleasure to work with. 11) Indoor/outdoor painting can be done with exceptional quality by colorist, Kenny Septak (412-661-2537). I have work by him in my own house and he did a fabulous job of color-matching restoration to the water-damaged interior of our sanctuary at Eastminster Church. Any questions, please get back to me. 12) Manuel Ortiz does excellent work. He has done several painting jobs for me (as well as other types of work) and is incredibly reasonable and treats the jobs as he would his own home. He can also provide you with references. His number is 412-735-6176. Feel free to contact me if you need more information. 13) I would heartily recommend Allen Lewis. I requested bids from three painters and Mr Lewis' figure was the middle of the three but I liked his manner immediately. He is a former art teacher and his care and skill are quite evident. He can also do handyman kinds of jobs and made new quarter-round molding for the baseboards in two of my rooms. He brought his wife along as a helper. She is also a teacher and they were both very pleasant to have in the house. They live in this part of town, too. His phone number is: 412-404-8862 14) I used Tim Stavenger (see attached list), who underbids most other painters, is easy to deal with and reliable. Does a decent job. I recommend him.
