Your reason for using an alias is a reasonable one. I understand you think I may have stolen a name from the phone book, and I gave you a way you can prove I am who I say I am, though I don't much care what you may think. I should warn you though, that I have caller ID.

I am mostly retired, though I do small projects, mostly for myself but also for others, mostly using hired labor and licensed sub-contractors. There are many good contractors who advertise in the phone book, also there are some I don't trust to do a professional job. I suggest you call around, ask for detailed estimates, and ask for references including recent jobs they have done. I won't recommend anyone because I don't need the potential blowback, and also I hesitate to use this forum for advertising any business, I think it's against the rules. Good luck on your remodel.
