Hi all. I have purchased a bank owned home in SE Aurora that needs just about everything done inside and out. It is just me and my two boys and we are looking for some handymen who would do side jobs for us in April/May to get the house fixed up. We need windows replaced, painting, doors replaced, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, cabinets, flooring...just about anything you can think of. I'm looking for referrals of anyone reliable who does quality work on the side for cash at a reasonable rate. Please let me know if you know someone who might fit the bill. Thanks.

What can I do next?

I know a locksmith who would do all your locks. They should be changed, anyway. Info about him is Ken Keys and Locks. He charges $40.00 for the trip and $10.00 per lock. He's in Arvada, so it is quite a trip for him. If you are interested his phone number is ###-###-####. He is a professional.

We moved to SE Aurora from Iowa last summer and also bought a fixer-upper. My husband built houses in Iowa but construction was slow so we moved out here. He currently works doing kitchen/bath remodels, but has built houses start to finish and done lots of remodeling including ours! Our friend Jeff just moved here, he had worked for my husband for several years before we moved. They are looking to do some extra work together. I have pictures of projects they've done and references from happy customers in Iowa.

Good luck with your remodeling!

Hi J.!!

So we bought a banked owned home and have put a lot of work into it. More that I thought we would have to. But luckly one of my daycare kids dad does construction work and has helped us with the jobs we could not do ourselves. He also has helped by giving advice on the projects we plan to do ourselves. Without him I know our house would still be in shambles. He just put in a sliding patio door for us and it looks great. I am so excited to have it done. His name is Danny Tichota and his number is ###-###-####. Good Luck with your house.

I have another for you! My sister-in-law's brother does home improvement and he does a fantastic job. I have seen his work and someday when we have some extra cash we will use him to help us with our townhome. He specializes in carpentry and tiling but he can do just about anything and if he can't do it, he will tell you. Give him a shout out for an estimate and be sure to mention S. and Sharon. Patrick Goetz (PRG Home Services) ###-###-####. He also makes pretty amazing pirate ship beds or castle beds in case you are interested!
