Joyce Suen Diwata says, "Masterful Construction completed our garage renovation and we are so happy with the results. We initially went to them for a kitchen reno but our priorities changed and pivoted to finishing the garage. We met with a few contractors and why we chose Masterful is because of Yuvi. He was so personable, knowledgable and overall a person who we felt like we can work with. We called him back to talk about our garage reno ideas and he came back on a Sunday afternoon!! He worked with our budget and helped us prioritize what should get done.From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and efficient. They completed the renovation on time, and the quality of work was exceptional. Yuvi and his foreman came by daily to check on the progress, ensuring everything was on track and that the work was being done to the highest standard. We were so surprised to see them come by literally every day. We had a few other house-related jobs to complete outside of the garage and they were able to help us that on that work.We appreciated how they always made sure to communicate with us every step of the way, keeping us informed about the project's progress and any decisions we needed to make.If you're looking for a dependable, professional, and communicative general contractor, we highly recommend Masterful Construction. We are so happy with our new garage and would definitely work with them again!"See more

Aaron Cowdin says, "Our project was a gut remodel of our two level San Francisco Sunset tract home, including the creation of living space out of the unfinished lower level/garage.Before we started working with Realty Builders we had almost given up on being able to remodel our home. We had wasted money working with a design and build firm to get an unworkable design far outside of our budget. We decided to take our project to general contractors and see if anyone thought our plan could be executed, at least in part, for a better price.Some contractors didnt even show up. Some looked at our plans, gave us wildly different quotes, positive and negative, but it just seemed like another job to them. The moment that Victor walked into our home and talked with us about our project, I knew he was interested in more than just a job. He walked through every room and all around the exterior, we talked about the design we had paid for, we talked about how we lived and what we wanted from our remodel. Even at the first meeting he was riffing on our design, walking through ideas, talking about potential issues and how to solve them.A week later, Victor said something that sealed the deal for me. He said, Your design is not good. I can build it for you, but you will end up with a house of depressing little boxes. I want to make a house that you will love. He showed us that he had completely thrown out the original design options and created something new, himself.After many months of engineering, demolition, permitting, construction, material shopping, designs, etc. I am writing this from the home that Victor designed and his crew built. He was 100% right. We love our home. It is bright, airy, built for both entertaining and private spaces, organically connecting both the main floor and our garage level now converted to wonderful living space.Realty worked hard to stick to the contracted price, and for all known items, they did exactly that. Because we were remodeling an old San Francisco home, of course there were surprises and extra options. Each time a surprise came, or an optional change came up, Realty let us know about the change and gave us multiple options with various prices for those options. So while we went somewhat into extra budget, we had a lot of choices in how to meet surprises and how to pay for them.I know nothing about construction, but friends and family who do would often come by the house during construction and comment on the high quality of the work being done. When I was present for inspections, I often heard the inspector make off hand positive comments about the quality of the work. Generally we breezed through inspections for this reason.When there were issues, Realty fixed them. When there were problems, Realty would address them. When some of our subcontractors failed, Realty stepped up and dealt with the failures. We are very satisfied and will work with Realty again."See more

Yair Sida says, "BARK AND BUILD did a complete kitchen remodel, renovated two bathrooms, and replaced the entire flooring in my house. It all turned out beautifully and really refreshed my home.Throughout the project, Mike and Miki, my project mangaers, were always quick to respond and gave great advice. Whenever there were challenges or special requests, they put in a lot of effort to find solutions that worked for me.The crew made sure to pay attention to all the details we discussed. The final quality was just as important to them as it was to me. At the end of the project, we went over everything that still needed attention, and the crew took care of each item.I'd definitely recommend Bark and build Builders to my friends for their remodeling projects."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is the best waterproof flooring for a basement?

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.
