Li I. says, "Sam is a reliable contractor whom can be fully trust. Our project is to renovate our bathroom built in 1979 by expanding the size and converting the nearby closet to be a powder room. It not a small-sized cosmetic project and it includes plumbing and electrical works. You know that you don't want to mess it up with unreliable contractors. We interviewed 6 contractors and Sam is the only one who is not only the business owner but also the project manager. In the first appraisal, we were pretty impressed by his construction background and his quick understanding of our project scope. Professionality & communication are important to us since we both work full time and can't manage the project by ourselves for sure. After speaking with Sam, we felt he is easy to communicate and he knows how to fix the problems since he has the knowledge from his past experience. Even though he is not the cheapest one but the result shows that it worths the money. We have been using the bathroom for 3 weeks and so far so good. 1. Quality So far I would say I am pretty satisfied with the quality. Our bathroom went through inspections for sure and it passed inspections without any fixes required. And in terms of details, I am most satisfied with the tile works, which could be easily messed up due to some very detailed mistakes. The pattern & the lines are well matched in our case and it looks fantastic! 2. Design Sam's package comes with designer service. They provide a good 3D rendering design and also a shopping list to choose from. They did a pretty good job like help us shop the tiles and edge trims and grouts (color match is important and needs professional experience). The only small mistake is that the vanity size is not correct at the first time and we need to swap it with $250 restocking fee. 3. Communication We are very satisfied with Sam's communication efficiency. He is always reachable in our Whatsapp group chat. Since it's our first time renovating a house, we have tons of questions and Sam always answer the questions patiently. Sometimes we also do face-to-face communications or Facetime if questions can't be clarified in the chat. 4. Timeliness The crew works 9-5, almost 5 days a week. The whole renovation lasted for 6 weeks (inspections might take several days to schedule) and I think it's the reasonable time to well complete such a project."See more

Yair Sida says, "BARK AND BUILD did a complete kitchen remodel, renovated two bathrooms, and replaced the entire flooring in my house. It all turned out beautifully and really refreshed my home.Throughout the project, Mike and Miki, my project mangaers, were always quick to respond and gave great advice. Whenever there were challenges or special requests, they put in a lot of effort to find solutions that worked for me.The crew made sure to pay attention to all the details we discussed. The final quality was just as important to them as it was to me. At the end of the project, we went over everything that still needed attention, and the crew took care of each item.I'd definitely recommend Bark and build Builders to my friends for their remodeling projects."See more

Matt M. says, "We completed 2 bathroom renovations and we cannot say enough about the work. Actually we loved working with Eulises so much that we had him do additional work (opening some non weight bearing walls, stucco repair, recessed lighting, painting) and already booked him and his crew to come back to do more work already. Eulises is so responsible, very flexible & collaborative, Knowledgeable, gives fair pricing and he always has someone from his crew on the job side everyday. Our bathrooms went from bleh to amazing and we have had so many compliments & others ask for Eulises’s contact info for future projects of their own. We don’t normally leave reviews but we know how hard it is to find good contractors & Eulises and his crew have exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to work with him and his crew on our next projects (laundry room & interior/exterior house painting). Eulises can do it all if you need it (electrical, plumbing, tile, stucco, roofing, flooring, etc) and he does all the work very detailed orientation which is why we keep using him and his crew because we normally do our own work because we typically can’t find work better and more reliable than we can do it! I should also note that both my wife and I come from family that are in the general construction trade and have flipped several homes and we have done mostly all of our own work, but Eulises is work is superior to our and gives very fair pricing that we feel very confident and comfortable with. We really cannot say enough about how pleasant Eulises’s himself is and how amazing his work is. Hope the before and after pictures (just including the bathrooms) help someone out there, as you can see our baths were really bleh & we love the marble! Thank you Eulises so much for the excellent work!!! -Matt"See more

maya dumas says, "I worked with Edri Construction to remodel two full baths as well as customize storage in my garage. Both their 3D-designer Alex and project manager David were great...easy to work with and professional throughout the process. Alexs designs were spot on and the end results were even better than we had imagined. Because we were living out of town through the project, David did a good job of keeping us updated on the progress and on any issues that arose. From start to finish the project took a little longer than we would have liked but that was due to Covid restrictions and the cities response rate. Howeveroverall I would highly recommend Edri Construction- streamlined, organized and professional process with beautiful results!"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.
