Fix drainage in back yard, and add flagstone path - A previous contractor botched a job of putting drains in my back yard, and now when it rains water comes around the house and drowns the grass in the side yard and front yard. I need someone to come out and move the current drains, and add new drains as needed. I also would like a new 60 foot by 2.5 foot flagstone pathway connecting my front porch and back patio, going around the side of the house. This is in the same area with the bad drainage, so it would make sense to knock out both projects at the same time (and only tear the ground up once).

Contractor must have an online presence with multiple positive online reviews.

Paint kitchen cabinets - My current kitchen cabinets are Merrilat Oak. I would like them painted white. They need to be prepped and painted. This is not a rehab job, so it needs to look professional, would prefer the doors be sprayed for a flawless finish. There is approx. 21 lf of uppers and 16 feet of lowers.

Small Bathroom Remodel - I have a bathroom in an old house in Decatur, just inside the perimeter that I want to do a full remodel on. I want to rip out the lineolum, install tile, tear out the tub and wall tiles and replace those with a new tub and new tile on the walls. It will need a new vanity and medicine cabinet combo. Also, new trim at the bottom of the walls all the way around. I can pay for materials, and you can just give me quotes for labor. The bathroom is 4\\\\\\\'10\\\\\\\" by 7\\\\\\\'1\\\\\\\" not including the tub. I\\\\\\\'d also like to replace the door on the bathroom. Doesn\\\\\\\'t need to be prehung, it can just be a replacement slab. The only small issue with this remodel is that the area between the toilet and the tub has some water damage and seems to be rotted out. So, the subfloor will need to be replaced there. The rotten area doesn\'t seem to be more than a square foot in size, but we won\'t know for sure until the tub comes out. Also, I may need some help bringing materials to my house since I do not have a truck. I only want quotes from contractors that do high quality work and don\\\\\\\'t settle for \\\\\\\"good enough\\\\\\\". Thanks.

Front Door Staining - Have a beautiful Craftsman front door that needs to be re-stained. It has suffered some wear over time.
