  Patti A. asked:

  Anyone have a contact that can install a microwave range hood? There was one there previously, new one is slightly bigger therefore a new bracket needs to be mounted. ( electrical etc. is all there already) I'm willing to pay $30-40 to get it done.

  Mary V. asked:

  Who has a plumber recommendation? I need to replace a valve before I can get my dishwasher put in. Anyone you like who is reasonable and reasonably available? I would like to get this done before the end of the month if possible. A handyman is an option too if he/she knows plumbing. Thanks.

  jackduluoz asked:

  Good contractor/handyman/electrician in Lakeview/Lincoln Park? Would anyone be able to recommend a good contractor/electrician in the Lakeview area? I'm looking to get a hole drilled through a brick wall as well as some ethernet/htmi/usb cable run. I've been looking around on Yelp, but reviews there seem pretty spotty since some people just get angry to get angry. A recommendation from a "real" person would be much more trustworthy, I would like to think.

  Callie C. asked:

  We are ISO someone to install a replacement over the range microwave as ours bit the bullet. Many stores offer installation but it is either very pricey or must be scheduled weeks out. While my dad assured me we could do it ourselves.....I am less than confident!

  

  Julie M. replied:

  They are heavy and awkward. We had to take ours down to get it fixed, and even that part was a struggle (because you can't get directly under it because of the bottom counter sticking out). But it is possible. That said, you could probably have a handyman help you out for a reasonable fee. https://www.facebook.com/1134537536576218 Mensch with A Wrench is a neighbor and great. You might shoot him an email if you're not inclined to tackle it yourself. https://www.menschwrenchchicago.com/
