Christina E. says, "Let me tell you, these folks are life (and home) savers!!! I had some faulty work done by a previous contractor when they were tearing down a wall in between my dining room and kitchen. After a few weeks we started to notice our kitchen ceiling starting to bow in a bit. We panicked and started calling pros to come look at the damage to find out what was going on. Every other contractor that came to our home just assumed that the ceiling issue was because the previous contractor had knocked down a load bearing wall and didn’t structure it correctly for the house to support the new layout correctly. I was getting quotes of around $12,000 to fix it consistently from everyone I had talked to however, no one had actually researched other possible explanations for the structural problems we were having. I decided to make another ditch effort to get some more quotes and found Mr.Handyman. I explained my situation to them and they knew the situation was dire. I sent photos of my ceiling and they sent Kenneth out THAT DAY to assess the damage. The next day Kenneth came over again to inform me that they had a team meeting that morning and had pulled up my home’s blueprints (oh how I love companies who do their due diligence prior!) and informed me that the issue may not be a load bearing wall, but could possibly have something to do with my solar panels. It was getting so bad that you could start to see the caving in from the roof outside of the home where the panels are, so it made total sense. I don’t know why it was never considered before. This was the first time anyone had said something about that being a possibility and usually just jumped the gun to say it’s just a load bearing structure issue. He then asked if he could go up in the attic and poke around. They were the first pros to do this, which made me feel even more confident and I loved how they came together to think outside the box instead of just assuming, then springing into action to test their hypothesis. After poking around for a bit, Kenneth shows me pictures of his findings. Sure enough, the previous “contractor” had cut my solar panel support. My whole roof was literally caving in, not just the ceiling. To add insult to injury the previous contractor had said they would take care of all of the permitting and neglected to do so. I was also facing fines as the homeowner for not having the faulty work permitted. Mr. Handyman came to my rescue on that too and put in an emergency intervention request and saved me from paying those fines! I also really enjoyed having these folks in my home. I know I drove both Kenneth and Richard nuts with all of my questions as a inspiring DIY home renovator. They both humored me and answered any questions I had whether it was related to the work they were doing, or any other random home improvement question I had lol. They actually taught me a lot! They also had patience in doing so. By Mr. Handyman stepping in and doing their research instead of just assuming, they saved me around $6,000. Half of what I was quoted anywhere else. These guys are awesome and made my home safe for me and my family again. I’ve attached some before and after photos of the wall opening. You can really notice the difference in the recessed puck lights in the ceiling. I did opt to paint the wall myself and I know they would have if I requested it, which I haven’t done yet so it’s not “pretty” yet but it’s safe. Thank you Kenneth, Richard and everyone else who came together at Mr. Handyman to rescue my home!"See more

David W. says, "Wow wow wow!!! What a difference paint makes and a really great paint crew! Sixto responded quickly and was punctual and respectful from our first meeting and his professionalism continued until the job was completed. He brought his crew by and was on the job the next day. They showed up every day ,working long hours. This renovation included a kitchen, bathroom, flooring in multiple rooms, rebuilding of closets and demo. All aspects of the job including carpentry, plumbing and electric were well organized and managed with excellent communication from Sixto, always letting me know the work schedule. Their prices were fair and the workers pleasant. Even my neighbors were impressed and asked for their card. They come highly recommended. I will be using them again in the future."See more

Q & A

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.
