Amazing Skylights - Rich Lindsay - www.amazingskylights.com. He sells and installs the solar tube skylights and solar attic fans. Both qualify for a tax credit until the end of 2010. Anyone is welcome to stop by my house to see them.

Furniture Restoration - Don Selkirk, Northern Virginia, 703-541-0700. We just had our 25 year old oak kitchen table refinished. Don Selkirk did an excellent job, and it now looks like new. The service was very fast, and the price seemed reasonable.

Hello, am new to the Parkfairfax community and I am looking to do some work to my new home. Does anyone have recommendations for contractors for tile and painters?...
Mia C. replied:
Mr. Bob Harris painted my whole unit before I moved in. He was fast, reasonable and dependable. More than a few people at my job have used him. His number is (703) 408-9070. He'll come by and give you a quote. Tell him I you his number, if you decide to give him a ring. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Retiling the bathroom? Why? May be better to save up and do a bang up job. My suggestion is that you live with it for awhile then ask to see some Madisons with nice updates. Grimsley Renovations has done several. Also Gary Witt.
Scott P. replied:
Darcie, I forgot to leave a list, but we used Jarrod Grimsley generally when we could pin him down (which is hard because he's sought after and busy). But he does excellent work, cares, and is not too expensive. Greg Drone for electrical and some general stuff. He's reasonable, knowledgeable on Parkfairfax, great with electrical, and lives there. And Smarmak (pronounced Sh'Mark) for plumbing. He is way reasonable for plumbing and tile work. And Andrew Acosta painted our bedroom recently. He's good.

Cherry Hill Cabinetry renovated my kitchen last year and did a great job. When I'm ready to do the bathroom I plan to have them do it. They have many pictures of their projects on Houzz: http://www.houzz.com/pro/mhartsock/cherry-hill-cabinetry

I've used Mike Staples for two Fairlington homes, including bathrooms, and highly recommend him.

Another vote for Mike Staples. He did my bathroom, and I plan to hire him for my kitchen renovation when I'm ready for that.
Roxanne S. replied:
We've used Oscar Molina and GMG Services twice and have been thrilled with both the workmanship and reasonable pricing!! They are working on our basement bath now, so have improved all three floors ... Make sure to get a quote from them!

Mike Staples did our kitchen, basement bathroom, a rebuild of our basement bedroom after flood damage, and a bunch of other smaller projects around the house. Professional, reasonable, creative, and stays within budget.
It's getting nice and we're going to put in a patio. Can anyone pass along a recommendation on a contractor? Thanks!
