FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I spent 20 years in banking and like many people in Brooklyn, I bought a home that was a "fixer upper". I took a room at a time and gutted it and ended up with a home that we loved. Our finished home was then flooded by Sandy and we needed to gut the first floor all over again. The silver lining was that it was a great opportunity to make design changes that we might not have made otherwise. After many years of experience, my wife suggested I go into the contraction/ handyman field. I am so happy I did. I love what I do.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
If you have a concern or question, you should always feel free to ask. If a potential contractor/ handyman is short or dismissive of your concerns before you hire them, that is unlikely to change after they have been hired. So find a contractor/handyman who is both skilled and genuinely interested in addressing your concerns so as the job progresses you feel like you can have an open dialogue. Also, if something goes wrong after the contractor/handyman leaves that was completely unexpected, you should feel free to call them back to take a second look. Some things do happen that couldn't be planned for, and you want someone who is eager to get it right even if that means a follow up visit.
