Dear Highland Park neighbors, You are all so fantastic. Thank you so much for all these wonderful contractor suggestions. I am passing this on because I know some others are interested too. jai We have had outstanding results from Mike Kennedy of Kennedy construction who renovated our third floor bathroom and painted the study. The bathroom was completely gutted, pipes moved around, etc. and re-done with wonderful results. He is now in the process of bidding on stucco repair and painting and repairing wood on the outside of our house. After that is our master bath. Susanne Gollin Bill Perkins with Morning Sun Builders, 412.828.4336 I recommend (and architect Paul Roseblatt of Springboard recommended to me) Rich Joyce, 412.882.2895 or 412.292.7019. I regret not hiring him as a general contractor for my kitchen/bath remodel (and went with my out-of-work neighbor instead...) Rich is prompt, fair, reasonably priced and was gracious about cleaning up after the other guy. He also redid an exterior wall, installed a new door, installed windows, siding, etc. Best wishes! Michelle Ron and Ron Sarver at (412)854-4089 are a very good father/son team. good luck, rick Bud Schubert Paradise Contracting http://paradisecontracting.com/ Good work and reasonable priced Michael Sciarretti Restoration Company LLC 949 Wellesley Rd 15206 Sciarretti's telephone is 412 363-5005 We were very happy with his work. Good luck, Marilena Betancourt John Cummings is wonderful. Sq Hill based. As far as a contractor, I *highly* recommend Matt Helbling. He did my kitchen a couple of years ago, which involved taking out a wall and a chimney through the entire house. Matt's number is 412-779-0990. He's a great problem solver, very reliable, and does very good work. Also stands behind his work. I keep trying to think up another project so I can work with him again. Oh, and Matt has email, which I love! matthelbling@msn.com My name is Michael McCallian. I am an Interior Designer with 30 years experience. I would recommend E. J. Rihn & Sons as a good contractor. Vince Rihn is the main contact and a great guy. Their phone # is: 412-401-4070 cell & 412-661-2211 Ofc. He is usually easier to get by the cell. You can feel free to mention my name if Vince asks.
