Leiana V. says, "I purchased a flip home. Come to find out, the hired person took out load bearing walls and did not properly support the walls, ceiling or the roof. My closet doors were either havd to open or falling off. The "bones" of my home were popping. My ceiling in the living room was sagging about 6" and the numerous contractors that looked at the situation either didnt return phone calls or said this situation wasn't that bad - even though they all noticed the bubbles in the roof/shingles. In comes my hero!!! Gene. He took 1 look and told me the roof is in peril of collapsing if there is a heavy snow or wind storm. He made the decision on his own to go go Menards and get some boards to brace the roof. He said and I quote: "I am not doing this for payment or for you to hire me, but I can not with a good conscious leave here knowing what I know". He put some temporary support up in the most dangerous spots. While doing so for some broke 2x4 (?) that support the valley between 2 roofs. When he went outside to look at that area he found a 4" drop in the valley between the roof. Suffice to say that area was getting ready to fall in. All this because a DIY person who didn't have the knowledge about building and didnt pull permits or get an engineer to help. Gene completely rebuilt by attic with LVL's, 3 support beams vs. the 1 undersized and support beams between the roof and the beams. He is a life saver both figuratively and literally. The second part of the story is his incredible followup with my engineer, attorney and kansas city permitting. He will have pictures on his website before and after. Before I could walk the attic without hitting any 2x4 or beams. It was an open concept space. After, it looks like an attic where you have to dodge all of the support beams. What an attic should look like. A 5 star is not a high enough rating for what Gene and his son Steven did for me. Thank you Gene a million times over. Leiana Victor"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.
