Albena B. says, "My husband and I needed a new kitchen and looked at quite a few companies, and we were so glad to have selected Construction by M&M. Not only did Mateo help us redesign our kitchen to make it look fabulous, but also made the whole process easy. We had no idea what types of products to select to match the design. He assisted every step of the way!! He pays close attention to detail, and even had a project manager to ensure that everything ran smoothly with the installation. We could not be happier with our new kitchen which has transformed my house completely. When people walk in they are blown away at the difference it makes. Amazing what a new kitchen can do to your home. I have recommended Construction by M&M to everyone and would do it all over again with them. They took the time to protect everything and, because I suffer from allergies, they covered the work area to prevent dust from going all over our house. They worked fast, efficiently, very professional. If you are looking to have some remodeling work done, this is definitely the company for you."See more

Annette DeJulio says, "Happy Bay Construction with Mr. Eshel Chandon at its' head is the very BEST. I have had several homes renovated, but none have ever been completed with such efficiency or skill! Eshel has finished all of the repairs down to the retrofitting of my 44 year old home and both the front and backyards. Eshel is honest and extremely hard working! Kudos to the Happy Bay Company! Thank you Eshel."See more

From start to finish, the entire project was handled quickly with professionalism and attention to detail. Communicating with the project manager, Mario, was a breeze and I would recommend this company to any homeowner."See more

Bernice R. says, "We had our master bathroom completely gutted, and remodeled, taking out the bathtub, adding a bigger shower, a linen closet, new vanities, new flooring, and much more. The whole experience was wonderful. They did the estimate quickly and we accepted it. They did a superior job. We have had many good comments from friends and family on our remodel. Overall, the project went great and I would highly recommend this company to anybody considering a project like this."See more

Maha S. says, "I was hesitant at first but after meeting with Inspired Builders I was impressed by their efficiency and professionalism.

I would highly recommend this general contractor to anyone looking for quality home improvement. Once again Thank you Jospeh!!"See more

Vinay H. says, "I hired Purev Contracting after searching for many months for someone who could remodel our garage. They were the most responsive contractor out of many recommended by Thumbtack and homeadvisor. Please refer to the photos on their profile for Pleasanton garage remodel for their work done for me. Here is why they are miles ahead of the competition. 1. They are available on late evenings for any discussion. They came in few times at 8.30pm upon my request for project discussion on weekdays. 2.They never missed an appointment and were always very accommodating for lateness on my part. 3. They are extremely professional in their conduct and very attentive to my needs. Here is why their work stands out. 1. They went out of their way to get the materials from Homedepot or Lowes multiple times during the project. 2. They helped in cleaning out the Garage and making sure all items were secure and protected due to rain. 3. They gave several suggestions on how to perform the remodel in terms on positioning electric outlets, lowered ceiling vs high ceiling, storage options, etc. 4. They were patient and agreeable to the numerous times I changed my mind on ceiling option, flooring choices and changes to storage location. 5. Their work was fantastic and employ a capable group of people who do good work. 6. I was very clear on my expectation of a clean finished job and they met it with resounding success. I plan to work with them on a Kitchen remodel later this year. I highly recommend Purev Construction for any contracting needs."See more

Julia P. says, "We recently had both of our bathrooms fully remodeled by AE Construction and Remodel, and the entire experience was absolutely stress-free. The project was completed much faster than I expected, and the quality exceeded every expectation. As a designer, I’m very detail-oriented (and admittedly a bit picky), so I was worried about whether the finish work would truly meet my standards. But the result was honestly beyond perfect. Every detail was done beautifully. During a remodel, if a contractor doesn’t communicate well or share the same vision, the whole process can feel uncomfortable — but that was never the case with AE. Their communication was excellent, and the crew was incredibly respectful and accommodating. Whenever I asked for an adjustment or wanted to refine a specific detail, they took care of it exactly the way I hoped. Even some parts my husband thought would be too difficult to fix or work on — they still made it happen. They handled everything with responsibility, professionalism, and real pride in their work until I was completely happy with the final result. We still have other parts of our home we plan to renovate, and we truly feel lucky and grateful that we found AE Construction & Remodel. I couldn’t recommend them more highly."See more

Cameron T. says, "They arrived to examine a portion of my roof that was obviously damaged. My point of contact with the organization was Moshe, who did a fantastic job of addressing all of my concerns and providing a detailed explanation of the procedure. I value his open and efficient communication. The team who came to my house to fix things was considerate of the property and did a fantastic job of removing nails and debris."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

There are several great options for waterproof basement flooring. For example, epoxy floors are waterproof but are thicker and sturdier than paint. Make sure the concrete substrate has been prepared for application. 

Tile is a designer’s dream, giving you a moisture-resistant surface that’s infinitely customizable. Rubber sheets or tiles are also good waterproof options, particularly for playrooms, workout areas or laundry rooms. 

Vinyl tiles and planks imitate wood or other materials very convincingly, provide moisture resistance and last a long time. And sheet vinyl is affordable and a great waterproofing solution for those in need of quick fixes.
