Reliable handyman / contractor recommendations?

I'll message you the guy we used for our deck — fair, and he actually returns calls, which is half the battle up here.

Smart to ask the group. We've had good luck locally. One tip: get it in writing and be wary of anyone who only wants cash up front with no contract.

+1 on getting it in writing. Tons of good folks here, but a few fly-by-nights too, especially once the busy season hits.
