Melissa M. says, "Excellent experience with Ron and his workers. We had our entire three floor townhouse repainted and the stairs and second floor refinished and stained. Ron was super patient and responsive to any questions and concerns we had. If we wanted something changed, the answer was always "no problem". We were worried everything wouldn't be finished on time for our move, but everything was completed on time. He even had his floor guys resand and restain the floors because it wasn't up to his standards and our project was still done on time. Ron is extremely professional and takes pride in his work and genuinely cares that his clients are happy. We are thrilled with his work and would recommend him to everyone."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.

Do general contractors offer remote or virtual services?

General contractors perform manual work and typically need to be present to complete their projects. However, if you come across a profile that states the contractor is offering remote services, ask what those services include. You can also ask if they can perform a consultation via video call and if they can do the job while following guidelines from the CDC and local agencies.
