We use Viox Services. They are not based out of College Hill, but they are part of our organization at Twin Towers. I just thought I'd share in the event you don't have College Hill vendors to do everything you mentioned. They do all of our campus work and we have found them to be invaluable to us.

In response to the request for someone to help with home repairs, improvements, etc, "Gotta' Guy" is a terrific duo of retired handymen who have done excellent work in Northside and College Hill. Ed Zinnecker and Jim Weyand (my father-in-law and member of First UCC) provide excellent craftsmanship and dedication on projects. Call Jim at 513-218-5407 for more information about "Gotta' Guy."

We use Darryl Allen, 5924 Hamilton Avenue, phone 859-982-5194, to wash the windows at the office. He is extremely professional, and super-efficient!

Brad Hammond writes: I have some recommendations for services whose owners border on College Hill.

  1. Petit Plumbing Mike Petit lives on the edge of CH on Oak Knoll. His phone is 513-522-3355. He does good work and is not too expensive.
  2. Ralph Martin Electric. Ralph lives on 1355 Fogel which is just in NCH, but has his garbage picked up by Cincinnati. His number is 513-542-2591. He does great work and at a very reasonable cost.

Tony Thompson (who lives in College Hill) is an excellent craftsman. He expertly does electrical, plumbing, cement and tile work, and many other crafts. He, and the Amish cabinet maker he contracts with, did a great remodeling job on our kitchen and saved us 50% over what other high-end custom designers quoted. Everything he does is top-notch and of the highest quality. You won't find better for less. Best to just email him at: tonyt@fuse.net

"Rafeal Johnson, the owner of Steezo Inc. (513-305-1459 or steezoinc@yahoo.com), has been doing work for me and my husband for three years. He is very thorough and always cleans up after he has completed the job. He makes sure you are satisfied with the completed job. The work that he has done for us is more than acceptable and we are very pleased."
