@Roman Barraza Good post Roman, I actually am looking for an electrician to do smaller $200-$2500 electrical side-jobs if anyone knows someone.  Roman, I actually tried out a service called Taskrabbit to install a door around the corner from your building and the guy did quality work and wasnt that much more than our in house guys cost.

@Roman Barraza & @Mark Ainley - If you guys could just come out a little more in this direction I could help ;-)

I've gotten some good stuff around here by asking on Facebook local group pages (up there probably craigslist would work too but no one out here seems to really use) or call some bigger local real estate offices, I know in my office we have lists of people we love to use for all sorts of big to small projects of all different types.

@Melissa Kirchhoff Will you handle Crest Hill or know any handymen that way? We have 8 SFH there that we need better maintenance coverage on.

@Mark Ainley - I will ask, but I think that's further than most people around here want to go. That's my old stomping grounds but I don't think I have any remaining contacts out that way. I'll check with family and stuff but I don't think I have much help in that area.

 What you looking to have done?  I live in crest hill and am an industrial electrician by trade. Shoot me a message for contact info and pics of my most recent rental rehab.

Thanks Mark I need a storm door installed so Taskrabbit looks to be a good fit. Sam I will reach out if I need electrical work.
