It takes a village to renovate a house, or just to make a 1925 flat livable. Here is a list of the capable folks who helped me retrofit the kitchen and bathroom, adding appliances and bringing plumbing and electrical to code. Use them! They rock!
Roman Karpinski, electrician (415) 846-3252; subcontracts to other folks from eastern Europe but gets the job done fast. He had 7 people at my house for 2 days.
Dmitri Gordei, Plumber extraordinaire (415) 505-5723; from Belarus, great to work with, works solo, does research, pulls permits.
Tiling - Mikhail Kosikov; mkosikov@yahoo.com; (415) 235-6658. Completely overqualified to lay tile. Also has skills in carpentry and general construction. Mikhail was a vet in his native land, has 3 kids.
Matt 572-8132, general handyman, baker. Will do anything for practically nothing. Has lots of tools.
Eric Gamay, good, affordable, professional painter and the nicest guy you'll ever meet. 714 809-3943
Mr. Galinda 551-7917; 504-5173 Spent 8 hours rubbing my faux gumwood-painted trim with denatured alcohol.
