They do a LOT of houses in Highland Park. They are terrific! Use my name and call them at 412/823-8172.

Constuction Ronald Cerniglia OCEAN BREEZE Home Improvements 412-805-5602 I would suggest calling Gary Sciulli from Gary Sciulli Landscape Construction at 412-462-9345. He has completed a number of projects for my clients with them giving him rave reviews. You can let him know that Dan Landis from Prudential Preferred Realty referred you. Good luck with your project. your project sounds similar in scope to the one we just completed at our house. we used eichenlaub and couldn't have been more satisfied. i don't think you'll be disappointed.
