Reader Request: two home improvement services

Two readers would like your suggestions and recommendations for a couple of different home improvement and maintenance needs:

Natalie is looking at having stonework done to replace some brick on her house and would like recommendations for service providers that will do quality work at a reasonable price.

And, Valerie’s family needs to have insulation blown in their attic, and doesn’t have time to rent the machine and do it themselves.

Can you help out these readers with your suggestions for these services?  Keep in mind that these are budget-minded requests, so if you can share any information as far as pricing, that would be much appreciated.  If you provide this service yourself, you may comment on this post with your information, but please do disclose that it’s yourself that you’re “recommending”. :)
