We bought the pulls at Lowes, about $110 total, they look like the picture below. We also had him put a peep hole in the front door, our CYV doesn't have a sidelite window. We also had him install aluminum pull down attic steps in the garage and plywood flooring in the attic, parts and labor $290. We also had him move all the shelving in the master closet up a foot and then he installed a duplicate set of shelves about a foot below the old location, filled in any holes and painted over. Essentially we doubled our master closet, parts and labor $150. We had him put a shelf over the washer and dryer for storing detergent, etc, parts and labor $40. These are 2011 prices, Tim does attic steps that are wood instead of aluminum for about $100 less but since attics can get so hot we felt it worth the upgrade. Tim also does garage floors with the fancy sprinkles and paint, but we skipped that, I think it's nice looking but somewhat dangerous whenever it's wet the floors get slick. We didn't have any of those problems with our kitchen cabinets. In fact we wanted a white kitchen and by the second year we had our kitchen refacted in white, cost $4800. Miller's Home Services 352-217-0516, be aware he is usually booked a week or two ahead.

Fyi for anyone thinking of hiring Tim "the toolman", it looks like he is only specializing in epoxy garage floors and attic stairs now per the message that was left for me. Also the number is 0561. But thanks anyway. I'll look for someone else specifically for installing the kitchen/bathroom knobs and also for a peep hole in the door.
