I moved from the city to Nassau recently

Anyone know of a good inexpensive handyman who can help with a variety of deferred maintenance problems?

I am also seeking an inexpensive plumber and electrician...all in Nassau

I know i can look it up in the penny saver or phone book or online. But I will have no idea if they are good and will not rip me off.

Inexpensive? How about asking for a capable handyman who you will pay an honest rate for his services

Default Needed: Inexpensive, Good Doctor

Funny, I am looking for a good, inexpensive doctor for some issues I have put off but now want to deal with.

I too thought about looking into the Pennysaver or phone book, but then I wont know if they are any good and if I am getting ripped off or not.

Anyone know a good, inexpensive doctor?

If you go inexpensive chances are it's not going to be the best job. I have to agree with Gpsma on this one. Would want you an inexpensive doctor to treat you when your sick?? Same with your house, you should always want the best for it and you don't have to get raked over the coals either to have the job done.

If it's deferred maintenance and the house is older than 1978, you might want to look into someone who is RRP certified lest an uncertified handyman create lead dust in the repair process and expose your family to it.

Cheap, high quality and fast. You can only pick two. You always have to sacrifice one.

I know a good doctor on the island named Dr. Feelgood. He'll travel anywhere and it doesn't matter how long it has been, but for his best rate you have to assist and make it a quickie.
