Hello, My name is Tom and I live in Highland Park.  My girlfriend Jenifer
forwarded your call out for help from the neighborhood blog.  I am a
commercial carpenter in the local union hall, 230.  I have many other
talents that I have performed professionally.  If you have some time to let
me take a look at the job, I can tell you if it is within the scope of my
expertise.  You can contact me at 412-304-9235.  My rates are extremely
reasonable, and I am wholly professional.  Look forward to hearing from you.

She has  remodeled our bathroom and  renovated our basement.  She can do
small jobs, including electrical.  She also has a helper  for larger jobs

Essig Renovation and Design is solid. They have worked on my parents house and the work is good. It's a small start up based out of Lawrenceville and their focus is on kitchen and bath remodeling and general handyman services. In fact, I've done some subcontracting for them and am always impressed with the humility, honesty, and precision that characterizes their work. The best way to contact Dan Essig is at 724-513-2540. Have a wonderful day! ~Erik
