Everyone always asks me this question. This is because before a home is listed for sale, it typically needs some “freshening up,” perhaps some new paint or carpet. On the flip side, once a home is sold, the new owners are typically looking to do some remodeling on their new home. As a result of this, I am always on the look out for the best, most reasonably priced, and dependable sub-contractors and trades people that work in the area. This list is a result of that search.

My experience:
Scandia did a wonderful, on-time, professional job on my bathroom(s) remodel. Took out Jack & Jill feature in my Cordoba bathrooms, put in 1 lg stall shower and 1 small stall shower, added washer/dryer & cabinet, tiled floors. Excellent quality work.
I agree with choice of Re-Born Cabinets. They were $3,000 less than the estimate from Home Depot and did a great, on-time job of refacing kitchen cabinets.
Also, U.S. Drapery and Blinds, (848) 833-3300, has done a multitude of items for us, over 11 years. Painting, Carpeting, Flooring, Tile floor in Patio, & other work. Dave always gives good prices for good work.
Also, a wonderful service of putting pull-out drawers in any cupboards. Especially good in bathroom cabinets so that you don’t have to get on your knees to see things and linen cabinets for the same reason, only getting to see what’s on top too! SLIDE-A-SHELF (714)547-4224 was great! Came & measured, and then returned with sliding shelves that fit exactly! Very timely and perfect for Seniors when leaning down or getting down on the floor or climbing up can be a challenge. I RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY HIGHLY!
