Bringing this thread back. Hamandeggs - who did you use for the stoop/vestibule work?
You'll find a ton of good information if you search MOL for each of the trades separately. Masonry, plumber, etc. However, I don't think the search function is fully working, so you might have to try multiple search terms (mason, masonry, stoop, etc.).
Trying to get ballpark costs and references for good contractors/specialists for the following if anybody has had them done recently.
Replacing 90 year old galvanized water line to street which is starting to pit.
Replacing current masonry front stoop and pillar supported roof (will need complete rebuild as current ones are structurally unsound). Would ideally want enclosed vestibule.
Fireplace repointing
Skim-coating or otherwise flattening textured walls and repainting.
Any experience or suggestions greatly appreciated!
