Behind the email is a directory of license-verified local pros: the plumber, electrician, or contractor you want when something breaks. We check the license; you skip the gamble.
Neighbor-run, not a marketplace
Made in Park Slope by people who live here: same school pickup, same coop shift, same 6th Ave. Not a national directory phoning it in.
