Antigua Carpenter, Gardener, Painter, Handyman, etc.

8 years ago

Hello, everyone -

My husband and I found a rental house with a lot of potential in Canadas de Belen. However, it is very plain and needs some work. I am looking for references for dependable, trustworthy people to hire for the following:

- General handyman services (hanging pictures, fixing things, replacing light fixtures, etc.)

- A quality Painter who can paint several walls with "Antigua style" colors and texture effects.

- A part time gardener who will enjoy helping create a new patio garden from scratch. We'll be adding lots of containers and pots on both the patio and terrace.

- A carpenter who can build custom shelves, end tables with drawers, planter boxes, etc. (a rustic look is what we want, so the carpenter needs to be very good at custom work, but doesn't have to do "high end finishes")

Would love some personal recommendations if anyone has them!
