Hi
Does anyone know of a good, reasonably priced builder in the popovo area? I just got some quotes from my real estate agent and he either thinks I'm wet behind the ears or his builder drives a gold plated mercedes! £2k for fitting some kitchen units, £30 psm for painting, £2k for a simple roof repair, £150 to replace a broken pane of glass. the list goes on. I'm fully capable of doing all the repairs myself but due to work commitments I can't spend any long periods of time in the country until at least mid summer. If anyone can put me in touch with a good reliable guy who isn't gonna try to rob me it would be much apreciated.
Also if anyone can give me a rough idea on the typical costs of house repairs that would be great.
Btw I'm a steel fabricator by trade looking to move to BG before the end of the year for a slower pace of life but will be happy to fabricate the odd staircase, balcony, gates, railings, ETC at just a get by price, I can't sit completely idle it drives me insane lol
Thanks for any replies or tips in advance.
Ken

May be worth joining the Facebook group ‘Expats in Popova, Targovishte’ as there are many members that will have experience with local builders. I am in the Burgas area so no use to you!
