Jefrin J. says, "Jeremy was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He handled a major construction project in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. His attention to detail was impressive—every cut, measurement, and finishing touch showed real mastery of his craft. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, showed up exactly when he said he would, and kept the workspace clean and organized each day. What really stood out was how committed he was to making sure I was completely satisfied. He offered helpful suggestions that not only improved the final look but also saved me money in the long run. If you’re looking for someone who is skilled, honest, and genuinely takes pride in their work, Jeremy is your guy. Highly recommended!"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.

Patrick did an amazing job with our basement. Our basement was totally a useless space. and my husband and I had a vision and Patrick made that vision come to life; we absolutely LOVE our basement. He turned our boring unfinished basement into a beautiful area where we can entertain guest, he added an extra room which we use as a art studio, a laundry room was also added, he created a utility closet , brand new floors, beautiful recess lightings he went above and beyond to make our basement beautiful. The best part is Patrick is very nice and a pleasure to work with.... he is very professional, and polite, he will also educate you by breaking down what he is doing and why he is doing it. I will definitely refer Patrick to family and friends. Thank you again!

It was incredible, professional, and seamless working experience with the Ken Group on my basement refinishing. From the initial conversations with the project lead, Rammy, to the day to day hands on coordination with the contractor Luis, and the efficiency of the workers, I was thrilled with the results, the timeliness, value, and the overall quality. My beat up basement with plywoid floors transformed into a refinished hang out space for our family thanks to The Ken Group. I highly recommend The Ken Group.

Lucinei did an amazing job renovating my basement. Due to a restricted time frame, I had to get this basement done within 2 weeks for inspection, and Lucinei made sure that happened quickly with clear communication(even with language barrier, we did not have any problem using the translator). I appreciate his work and services. I am already referring Lucinei to others. I wish him the best of luck. We will definitely hire Lucinei again near future! Best of luck, Lucinei! 😊

Pisha Construction
Pisha Construction
I hired Pisha Construction for my basement rebuild after we had water damage due to a leak. I called Gio and he came out the same day to give me an estimate. He was prompt and very knowledgeable about the rebuild process with the insurance company. Gio and his crew started the job on 6/17 and was finished on 6/24. In less than a week we had our basement back to normal. We are super happy with the work and would definitely recommend Pisha Construction for all your remodeling needs.

Wanda and her team were absolutely wonderful when it comes to handling our basement fix. We needed walls to be patched up while still maintaining access to our sump pump. Clean work with attention to detail and transparent with contract details. Would definitely book for other jobs again!

Rammy and Co. were great to work with! Turned an outdated half finished basement & garage into a modern in-law suite! We had permits, architectural plans, plumbing, electrical, cement work etc. I had 5 bids, some more, some less expensive than Ken Group, but you get what you pay for, and with Rammy, you are getting professionalism at a fair price.

These guys were AMAZING!!! From the punctuality, to the professionalism to the quality of work, to the pricing I have been satisfied from the beginning to end. Everything was organized, the communication was great, and they gave such great ideas for my basement that I didn’t even think of myself. I would recommend them 100% and actually only plan on letting them do work around my house from now on.

Cena responded to our project promptly and professionally! He and his partner transformed our basement, giving it the much-needed facelift it deserved. My wife and I are thrilled with the results. Our only 'problem' now is deciding whether to keep it as my office or turn it into her yoga studio! Thank you, Cena, for creating a space that's so wonderful we're fighting over it!

Joe Brown Construction Company LLC
Joe Brown Construction Company LLC
Mr. Brown is a liar and fraud. I truly wish that I never reached out to thumbtack for my mother. and made contact with this man. Mr. Brown left dry cement on my mother's basement, and then lied about telling me that he told me that he could not cover the bricks on my mother's basement wall. The conversation never took place. Mr. Brown charged my mother $3300 for an unfinished job, and he promised to come back and finished. My mother has called him several times, and he refused to answer his phone or business phone. The cement is still falling off the walls. My mother is s Senior citizen, and he took advantage of her. We are taking him to small claims court. He also damaged the wall in the backyard and never mentioned it. Buyer Beware of this man , he will take a Senior citizens money and do a piss poor job.

RENEWED HOMES LLC
RENEWED HOMES LLC
Locksley of RENEWS HOME LLC does great general contracting work for the finishing of my 540 sq feet basement. He proved to be great for general remodeling. He has good workmanship. I highly recommend Locksley to people who needs general remodeling in their houses. His price was reasonable. If the work requires extensive work of plumbing and/or electric, the best way to take advantage of Locksley's great skill and workmanship is to also work with, along side with Locksley, a licensed/certified plumber and/or a licensed/certified electrician who are familiar with volumes of building codes.

If you’re embarking on the journey of building a home, whether it’s a kitchen, bathroom, basement, or any space that holds meaning to you, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to “The Ken Group.” They truly take the time to listen to your ideas and understand your vision, all while being sensitive to your budget. The heartfelt reviews speak volumes about their dedication! They are currently working on a project for my family, and I can’t wait to share our experiences, photos, and stories as we go along. We are genuinely thrilled with how everything is unfolding. It’s a comforting feeling to know we’re in such capable hands!

We knew right away while getting estimates from Larry and Tom on our new house that we wanted them for the job. They're not only extremely knowledgeable, but are really just fun to be around. They're great on customer service with their speedy replies and friendly updates. You really get a sense that they love what they do. They finished our project (floor joists installation in the basement, HVAC duct repair, window replacements) sooner than we'd expected and at the exact amount quoted. We were so happy with them that we've already requested additional future projects. The only negative thing we'd have to add is that our experience with them was so excellent that sadly, the bar has been set pretty high for any other contractor! If only other companies were as easy to work with =)

TOTAL SCAM ARTIST!!! I hope by writing this i stop someone from making the same mistake i did by hiring Winston. I hired him to fix 2 gutters fix some capping and to do some touch ups in my basement i was finishing.. well to start after i gave him a $400 deposit he disappeared for over a week without a trace. His phone was off and he wasn't responding to emails or messages through thumbtack. Then when he came back to start the job (i saw he was using a different phone.) he wanted me to buy all kinds of materials he said he needed for the job that had nothing to do with the jobs he was doing. He even wanted me to buy him dust masks and paint thinner to clean his tools like 7 different types of fasteners some pretty expensive i can go on for days about the materials he wanted me to buy all stuff that was either unnecessary or had nothing to do with what he was doing. If i asked him what they were for he would say he doesn't have time to explain he was to busy. He would work for 8 hours at a time leave without saying anything and when i would check out what he did that day there would be barley anything done. If i asked him anything about the job he would say hes to busy behind and no time to talk about it. While he was working i noticed he was CONSTANTLY coming out of the basement to cut wood the funny thing is he had very very little framing to do. I agreed to let him work unconventional hours 7 days a week but he would always mention how behind he was with my job and other jobs. Even one of my neighbors asked why hes always running back and forth. And why he took down my gutter and wasn't putting it back up. After finally confronting about everything and taking materials off the job site he came back gave back the materials and quite. NOT ONE THING HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WAS COMPLETED!!! SO I PAID $400 FOR NOTHING and thumbtack said theres nothing they can do even with a written contract. I forgot to mention he even tried to get me to pay for his laborer to break and bend the capping. If could give him less then one star i would not to bash him but to prevent him doing this to anyone else.. my family and I took a big loss cuz of him. I think he was working on different projects while at my house honestly..

PRDR Home Remodel
PRDR Home Remodel
As a queer household rebuilding our home from the studs using only our own hard earned resources, when choosing a contractor to do our first interior remodel (after 2 years of investing in structural and foundational repairs of over $30,000, the stakes of this project very high). We reviewed 5 quotes before we met Woanda Ortiz, and felt such relief to be able to support a woman-owned family business- the values expounded from Wanda were ones of safety, transparency, and hands on support. She went above and beyond in the beginning of the process, with transparent change orders, drawings, and extensive communication. However, as the project extended well beyond the original timeline, it appeared Woanda’s team was over their capacity (perhaps from juggling multiple contracts). This is where mistakes began occurring and defensiveness, negligence, and deceptive communication overtook the previously delightful collaboration and established a new norm. In this new phase of partnership, we discovered (on our own, we were never told) a broken window, a broken valve which created a multi-day leak in our basement, cuts to a structural joist (which we had just spent $10,000 reinforcing with a specialized structural engineer), which caused the house to settle in a new and dangerous way. All of these things occurred while the bathroom remodel was in process and after we had paid well in advance of the end of the timeline in good faith to acknowledge the recorded delays and change orders in the project itself. When we brought these issues to the PRDR team, we were met with no apologies for the injuries themselves nor the omission of notifying us about them, but instead aggressive defensiveness, changing stories of how they happened, and denial of responsibility, sometimes up until we showed photographic evidence of the damage. As we continued forward in mediation there became a chaotic pendulum swing between apologies and accepted responsibility, with proposals for rectifying damage, and then back to denial and conflicting accounts of events. We asked for a cash refund to cover the damages incurred by the PRDR team, and made multiple attempts for diplomatic and private mediation. After agreeing to commit to us to solutions for all damage incurred (which it is worth noting that the damage we are asking PRDR to be responsible was not exhaustive - there were multiple issues and delays we moved through amicably, including a flooded basement, an injury caused by a broken glass in our kitchen, and our kitten falling through the floor when the site was not properly closed up at the end of the work day, as well as leaving the house unsecured to potential intruders in the city of philadelphia), Woanda suddenly changed her stance when presented with the estimate of $5,000 refund (on a $14,000 job not including materials we purchased and coordinated delivery of). She then presented a bill (after the final invoice had been presented and agreed upon, of which we withheld only 600$ in reimbursements as a negotiating tool for mediation) of charges she “forgot” of over $3,000 additional, and threatened to counter sue us if we pursued small claims court, which we said would need to do as a last resort to recover resources for these damages. We find ourselves utterly heartbroken at this complete shift of character and professionalism as we prepare to file formal claims. It has been a devastating cloud over our first room remodel, a complete decimation of our long saved home project funds, and a traumatizing breach of trust that I’m sure will affect us as we try to look forward for future projects. We really thought we had found the company that would take us through our many remaining projects and now find ourselves back at square one, operating at a huge deficit. If you’d like to contact me for more information, my email is Brandi.Burgess75@gmail.com - I have everything documented - I will not include that here as we will need it as evidence to proceed with a formal case. I’m sad to say we cannot recommend PRDR with any confidence, not because of the mistakes that occurred - we understand progress is not always linear, but because of their refusal to accept responsibility and make things right, and their consistent emotionality and deception.
