My point, if this is a small job, you probably want a handy man, but be aware of the following:
1. You are not allowed to have active water lines (potable or irrigation) under concrete slabs, so you may need to have these relocated ( I did when we added the birdcage).
2. Anything you do to the outside of the house needs ARC approval.
3. There are a few handymen that have good reviews on this site, a search should provide the info.
Hope this helps

Just curious about point #1 above. If you are not allowed to have active water lines under concrete slabs, how do they possibly put in the plumbing for all the pools that are built inside bird cages and surrounded by concrete decks? I know when you say active water lines, a pool might be exempt because it is a closed plumbing system. But our pool, which was built by T&D about 3 years ago, has a self leveling system. The system automatically dumps out water when the pool water gets above a certain level, and it automatically adds water when the pool gets below a certain level. The water line that adds water to the pool is buried under the concrete deck and has to be active, or how else would it be able to add water to the pool? Just wondering?
