Contractor recommendations?

[georgy.livejournal.com]

 So, as mentioned earlier, we just bought a house in Somerville (yay!), and we're looking to have a few things done. I'm seeking referrals for:

- people who can redo decks
- landscaping consultants
- masonry (e.g. front/side steps, railings, etc.)
- heating

Those are the most immediate. I'll check the tags but am looking for fresh recs as well. Thank you in advance!

Just wanted to say that we called your husband for a quote based on this post. He came out this morning, and my husband was quite impressed. we're looking forward to seeing his quote (are comparing a few different plumbers/heating people), and feel pretty strongly we'll go with him. Thanks!

Awesome. When he got back he was telling me how the person found him on Angies List (we just signed up for it and dont know how it works too well as a contractor yet) and I thought that was cool. I just told him you guys actually found him through my post here :)

well, to be fair, I found him here from your post, then passed on the info to my husband who double checked his existence through Angie's List, which had basically his name and nothing else. So, I suppose he is also correct. :)

Darn I wanted to take the credit;) I set it up for him but I have been busy with our baby and my new job so I haven't messed around with it too much. I should get on that and figure it out though!

one quick question. my husband is trying up date his contractor contact info (he's very organized like that), and was wondering if your husband has email (for work related stuff), or if he prefers to do stuff through phone? I think my husband was expecting a quote to come through email sometime today or tomorrow?

nevermind, just got his quote. Thanks (if you had anything to do with it).
