[Highland Park] refinishing floors recommendations
by Veronica Szabo 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Thanks for all the replies! Here is the summary: 1. Calebrese flooring from Verona (2 Votes). I recommended them to my neighbor who is having them refinish her floors her in Highland Park today! Could show you some recent work done for me. I find their prices comparable. The best thing I like - they're fast! 2. If you are still looking for someone, I cannot recommend Paul Calabrese highly enough. He did a fabulous job for us and gave us the best price of the quotes we got. His number is 412-828-1160. 3. I used A Satin Finish and was very pleased. Timely; great work; good clean-up.They were recommended to me and I have since recommended them to many people. http://www.asatinfinish.com/ 4. Jim "the sandman" Williamson is great and reasonable. (412) 928-8553, 14124980539 5. Eight years ago we had Coit ("floorRENEW") refinish hardwood floors in a bedroom and hallway. They did a really nice job. The cost was $540 6. Try a-z flooring 412.877-8418 7. My fiancee and I had our floors redone last year by Mike Jones. I think he's based in Carnegie. His number is 412-279-9356. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I do rehabbing and have done floors myself in the past and have hired others. Mike is in a league of his own. He's fairly priced, does a very good job, has a good eye for detail, and doesn't hesitate to tell you if something isn't required. He is also unbelievably clean. If you're familiar with floor refinishing, you know that it generates incredible amounts of dust. Mike uses industrial vacuums attached to all his sanders and leaves no residue at all. We anticipated having to clean our house thoroughly when he was done. We started wiping walls and doors and windows and found nothing. We happily stopped and spend our time enjoying our new floors 8. We're having ours done, starting tomorrow, so I don't yet have first-hand experience. But the guy who's doing it comes highly recommended by someone who has had him work for her quite a bit. His name is Delbert and his phone number is 724-493-4072. He's charging $2300 for three bedrooms and a staircase plus $200 for removing the carpet.He usually prefers to work in the late afternoons/evenings. 9. Try Leghart Brothers Inc. (412) 819-0559. They return your phone call; they come when they say they will; do a great job; they charge a reasonable price with no surprises 10. We have had both oak and pine floor refinished in our home by a friend who is a contractor. He did a really wonderful job! His name is Dan Hinchman and his email is dhinchman(a)verizon.net. You can also reach him at 412-337-2672. He's a great guy to work with (polite, honest, reliable) 11. Mark Connolly Contracting does a wonderful job! 412-782-5518

[Highland Park] Missing Cat
by Tracy Thurman 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Hello all... After waiting a few days to see if she returned on her own, I am now putting out an APB on my missing cat. She is a large white fluffly, medium haired cat with one blue eye and one green eye and she has a very light orange/brownish "smudge" on the top of her head. She is not wearing a collar - I found it on the floor! But if you spot her, please please please let me know! She was last seen in our house on the corner of Jackson and Negley but she is absolutely determined about getting out and she is very stealth about it! Thank you Tracy Thurman 412-404-8412

by Mark Stein 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

I'm posting this for a friend moving to the area soon into an apartment without either a refrigerator or range, in hopes someone might be moving or remodeling, and be interested in selling/donating their old appliances? If you or someone you know does have either appliance we'd appreciate taking a look. Moving/hauling is no problem - we'd also be glad to help you with the delivery/moving of your new appliances if you wish. Thanks! Mark Stein 813N Highland Ave Pgh, PA 15206 (412) 661-9146 (mark dot stein at verizon dot net)

[Highland Park] Bryant Street business district
by Alison Bogle 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Out of curiosity mainly...does anyone know what is going on with Pizzaburghs, the place directly across the street, and the old pizza place that is now a "car service"? Pizzaburghs says closed for remodeling, but none has been apparent. Things are happening across the street and I heard a rumor of Point Brugge putting in another location there... _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows connects the people, information, and fun that are part of your life. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093175mrt/direct/01/

[Highland Park] Indoor painting recommendations?
by Neepa Majumdar 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Dear all: Can you please recommend someone to do some indoor painting for us? We would do it ourselves, but because we have several rooms that need to be painted, it seems too daunting to do on our own (having no prior experience with painting). Thanks, Neepa Majumdar
