Need contractor referrals in Hudson Valley

[Dan Barman]

Hi fellow BP'ers,

We just negotiated an agreement to purchase a duplex in Beacon, NY and are looking for referrals for contractors to help with renovating the property. Our hope is to connect with someone talented and reputable ASAP so that they can give us quotes as soon as our inspection is completed this coming Monday, for work to be done after closing.

The duplex is a 2 story home with full attic & partially finished basement built in 1820, so depending on what we hear from the inspectior we may be in need of someone with experience working in historic/older homes.

At the very least we know that the two units will need cosmetic work; new floors, counters, cabinets, appliances, tile & paint. We may want to knock down or open up a wall or two as well. Some of the lighter work we'll likely do ourselves but that is to be decided.

If you are an experienced & dedicated (i.e. perfectionist), licensed contractor in the area please be in touch with bonafides, references and links to recent work. If you've recently worked with a contractor in the Hudson Valley whom you loved we'd love to receive a referral, any detailed info (photos etc) you can include would be much appreciated.

Thanks all!
