I just used Castro's to fix my washer and they did a great job. They fixed my problem, they were honest and fair and I would recommend them with out reservation.

I need a handyman too, can you post the info?

Anyone visited an astrologer or psychic in Jersey City? I have a friend who wants to get a reading and I have no idea who is out there and who is for real.

I used Family Landscaping to do an overhaul of my backyard (25' x 50') recently. They showed up on time, the price was fair and the work was done quickly and well. Call Alex 973 296 5246

I have someone who lives in JC and does an excellent job cleaning. She cleans my house better than I would do it myself. Her name is Kati and her contact info is k.biro@hotmail.com or 917-207-5588. She speaks english, I trust her completely and she has references.

I don't know all the details of the lawsuits but the former neighbor was an oddball as well. My main point is know what you are getting into. From all accounts Vladimir is not easy to get along with but if you know this going into it you may do fine. My friends who rented from him did fine but they were okay with the no doorbell situation etc. Basic manages to thrive despite whatever problems they may have with him as their landlord. He is gruff and sketchy and I have heard plenty of yelling in Russian over there but if the price is right for a big apartment in a nice neighborhood is it worth it? Up to the renter....

I have lived on the same block as Vladimir for over 10 years and had friends who rented from him so I have been inside 233 8th street. The apartments are huge and in decent shape and my friends had no problem with Vladimir. However he does disconnect the doorbell regularly for mysterious reasons and he is a constant presence on the block. What you see is what you get over there. Many people have had problems with him. My former neighbor had ongoing disputes with him and they sued each other regularly. I myself have no issue with him but if you want to rent from him know what you are getting into and adjust your expectations. I hope it's a good deal.

I did my roof with Peter Simpson recently based on reccos here and he was great, on time, on budget, honest etc.

It is raining outside AND inside my house this morning. Anyone have a good roofer to refer?

I called Floodwatch based on the reccos here and they were great. They showed up on time, explained what we needed and did the work. Thanks Angel from Floodwatch!
