I’ve got a house in Garden City that needs the brick on the front porch repaired as well as the concrete steps and the two pads leading up to the porch replaced.
Anyone have recommendations for a contractor?

I had a smaller job last spring to make an opening in an existing brick wall and enlarge one for a patio door. Almost no one I called would call back and the few that did quoted it extremely high. I ended up just doing it myself, I don't know if that's an option for you but the trade as a whole seems too busy for the little guys.
So what you're saying is you want to do these small jobs for us in need, because you're the expert now... :)Quote:

More that if you have the physical ability and can watch youtube you can probably tackle it yourself. I also hate working on someone else's timeline so for me it was worth it to try myself and not let it hold up the rest of the project.Quote:

Pretty sure it's home repairs/construction add-ons in general.Quote:

I don't know if he is still doing that work. Last time I check on glass block windows for a clients house he said he wasn't doing them.Quote:

I used this guy years ago for two fairly small jobs. He was reasonable priced, showed up when he was supposed to and the concrete held up well and still looks good today.

I second doing it yourself. I paid someone an asinine amount to do a quick porch repair in my last place before we listed it. I thought it was over my head. Guy showed up with a buddy and between tearing it down, a run to HD and slapping it back up. They were in and out in under 3 hours.
They both walked away with $100/hr because I didn’t know any better.
