Need Contractor/Handyperson recommendation -- garage repair

Hi.  We are looking for someone to do a relatively small fix-up and repair job in our garage.  It will involve fixing a leak, installing insulation, plywood sheeting, and drywall.  Ideally, I would like to hire a licensed contractor, but I am having trouble finding one who does small jobs, returns calls, is interested, etc.  Open to hiring handyperson with the necessary skills.  Any recent recommendations?  I've checked past recommendations and struck out so far. 

We are in N. Berkeley. 

Thanks.

Alan Romano, North Berkeley Handyman, is licensed but only does small jobs, under $20k I think?  He's come out and priced a few things for me and I've never ended up going with him (went with people who were unlicensed!) but I liked him and would use him in the future.  http://allenromano.com/constructionservices/

As an experienced homeowning "Handy Ma'am" I understand the frustration with finding a contractor for a small job, especially in this era of mega-building projects. For the roof leak, I would call a roofing company. There is one on San Pablo in Berkeley that I have used recently.  Your garage project is a different species which involves a carpenter. You could apply for the permit yourself as an owner, builder, and use a handyman/carpenter.
