Well, as far as I know, Kovid doesn't take coding jobs. My company (Booknook.biz) typically does
not take fixer-upper jobs, especially if the ePUB that needs fixing was created via an automagic converter, like Calibre, Smashwords' MeatGrinder (which is the Calibre API), Draft2Digital, etc. (As using auto-magic converters tends to lead to naming conventions for elements that take 10x as long as it ought to figure out what the problems are.)
However, if you want to send me the file (use the contact form on my website, see below) and tell me what it is you think you're having an issue with, I'll take a look. If it's a nothingburger and we can fix it in 5 minutes, I won't charge you.
A "smart HTML coder" likely won't be any use to you. The HTML used for websites has nothing whatsoever to do with legitimate eBook coding. eBook HTML is a
subset of what is largely older HTML (for some devices, HTML 3.2; some are HTML 4.0 and some have SOME HTML 5 coding, but not many). If the person hired doesn't know eBooks, you'll likely throw your money away and cause more problems.
You may also need to tell the person doing the "fixing" exactly what vendors you're planning on distributing to--as that can play into it, too. It's possible--not necessarily likely, but possible--that your "4 HTML issues" and how you've formed your perception of "reasonable" could be a lot more complicated than you know.
