Mike G. says, "We had an outstanding experience with the Stanford Group! Our project was a full master bathroom remodel that included demolition of the previous bathroom down to the studs, shower relocation, new plumbing, new electrical and re-wiring, new bathroom closets, heated floors, new insulation, completely new walls and paint, frosted windows, custom shower doors and bathroom barn door, vanity installation and more. From day 1 we felt at ease with the team - incredibly professional and they take a great deal of pride in what they do. Very meticulous with tile installation, closet designs and drywalling. They even identified and fixed major problems with our house itself along the way, saving us from potential disaster down the road - our entire house was not wired correctly, and they were able to run new wiring to and from the bathroom. To put it simply, the entire team knew exactly what they were doing. Pricing was fair overall but more importantly they were transparent and honest about pricing and what you get with it. Most importantly anything we wanted, they were able to do. Once again I highly recommend this team - Leo, Gus, Ruben, Peter, Kleo, Emmanuel, Alfonso, and I know I’m leaving some guys out, thank you for everything!"See more

David F. says, "E.S. Carpentry did an excellent job and exceeded our expectations in building our dream kitchen. Our project involved taking down a wall to expand into an old, poorly built addition. This resulted in several challenges - including a lack of studs and an angled ceiling - which Ed creatively solved. Ed was great to work with: knowledgeable, responsive, dependable, honest, professional, and thorough. He had wonderful, insightful suggestions based on his many years in the business. Everyone on his crew was top-notch, polite and all kept the work area clean. Our new kitchen is beautiful and we highly recommend working with Ed and E.S. Carpentry."See more

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.
