Renovations On The House

We started fixing things. First it was the water, septic, and roof. Now it's the broken bathrooms, electrical and general things that don't work or are dangerous. Rockland County isn't known for good clean design. It's so hard to find modern anything. Most people here think expensive in terms of square feet and they have middle class tastes of what looks good.
I wanted a Duravit bathroom. I was told I had to wait 8 months for a toliet. So I'm doing toto. The bathtub and vanity will be purchased online.
Here's a list of people and places we recommend:
Contractor - Joseph Franco
Septic system - (to come
Well water - to come
Tucek - roof
Fuda tile in Ramsey NJ - thanks to my friend who recommended them.


Here's a list of people who could be more helpful.
Home Depot and Home Expo - useless. You can't even find someone to order something.
AF plumbing Congers. you got to know what you want- They make you pick stuff up and check. No returns
Rockland Tile -Valley Cottage - The jury is out. At least they are always there.
