Seeking contractor/handyman to repair classic Somerville detached garage

[olliesix.livejournal.com]

Our 1920's cinder block detached garage is of the classic Somerville style. It's pretty sound, but needs repair of rotted wood frame around the garage door and some cracked masonry/facade issues. Seems too small for major contractors, but might be more than a handyman usually does. Since there are so many of these garages around Somerville, and many have been fixed up, I'm hoping some of you can recommend the folks who do this work. Hoping to fix this spring. Thank you!

We got work last year from J R Maintenance and Remodeling from Chelmsford, (617) 648-6451. J and R are Jose (pronounced "Joce", not "Ho-say") and Roberto. They did a beautiful job of rebuilding the wood-and-stone disaster surrounding our bulkhead door, for a lot less than we feared we would pay.

Oh dear...I've got the same exact garage and same exact repair needs. I can see daylight through the cracks in the concrete blocks! Do you mind if I follow this thread? Also, if you don't get many replies, you might try posting your request on Nextdoor. That site seems to attract lots of repair-type questions and answers :)

Absolutely! Will share anything I find. And will post on Nextdoor as well- thanks for the tip.
