“Dear PoPville,
We are looking to finally pull the trigger on getting a roof deck installed on our row house. But, the people who we thought we were gonna use are no longer doing business in DC. Does anyone out there have experience and can recommend roof deck installers who work in DC, are licensed, will take care of the permits and do good work? Read More
“Dear PoPville,

“Dear PoPville,
I’m trying to do an IKEA kitchen renovation and the company says it no longer does kitchen installations in the DC-area and has no recommended partner installers in the region. All of the companies I’ve found on google say they no longer work in DC. Does anyone know of a company that will do an IKEA kitchen install, with removal of the old one?”

“Dear PoPville,
I have a bit of an odd request I’m hoping someone might be able to help with. During a move last year, my late grandmother’s marbletop coffee table was broken. I’m hoping to have the marble pieces carved into coasters that I can give to all of my Nonny’s children and grandchildren.
I’ve tried everything I can think of Read More

“Dear PoPville,
Our house needs a new front door! Please give us your recommendations for a reputable exterior door installer, as well as where to buy a new exterior door (besides Lowe’s or Home Depot). I’d like to hear from satisfied homeowners who’ve actually worked with a reputable local business to purchase or install a new front/exterior door to their house. TIA!”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping to renovate my kitchen soon and I need help. I have bids from contractors to do the actual work, but I am stymied when it comes to making choices about finishes and appliances. It seems like you can go cheap (well, less expensive) with a contractor who just installs things, or WAY expensive with a full service firm. I want to go with a contractor and hire someone to help me come up with a plan for the contractor to execute. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
I know you posted about (interior) painter recommendations before but it’s been a moment. Does anyone in the community have a recommendation for good painters? Looking to have our 2BD/2BA painted in the next couple of weeks.”

“Dear PoPville,
While this is small in the grand scheme of projects, I’m hoping to dip my toe into the world of home improvement and crowdsource some closet recommendations. Other than California Closets, do folks have any recommendations (or anti-recommendations) for companies or contractors doing custom build-outs in walk-in closets in DC? I’m interested in adding drawers, open and closed shelving, built-in lighting, and adjustable shelves – bonus points if folks are available this month.”
“Dear PoPville,
Have a bit of an odd request I’m hoping to get community help with. The previous owners of my home replaced rotting wood trim decor with mismatched pieces (some of which are also already rotting). Read More
