Practical Construction Llc

In a May 2016 Thumbtack review, a wheelchair user described a small job that mattered: one of two plastic footrests had broken, and they had neither the tools nor the strength to remove the screws. Matthew Burstein picked up the parts at their door and returned with metal replacements the next afternoon, fixing the problem in less than 24 hours. The customer wrote that he "restored my faith that honest, sincere and skilled people are still out there." Practical Construction is a Burlington, Vermont handyman business.
