Gio tavares waterproofing.

Homeowners who called Gio Tavares Waterproofing with a flooding basement kept getting the same response: someone showed up the same day. The Taunton company, run by Renato Tavares, says it has about 11 years in the trade, working on foundation leaks and cracks along with the concrete work that often comes with them — patios, walks, steps and poured walls. On Thumbtack, where its more recent reviews live, that same responsiveness shows up again and again. In a 2024 review, a homeowner with an emergency basement leak said the crew came out the same day and had the fix finished the next day. In 2022, another customer said Renato and his team worked through a weekend to make good on a deadline. A 2020 review from a commercial customer described the same quick turnaround on an epoxy-coated floor job, along with careful COVID-era protocol at the time. The Better Business Bureau rates the company A+. The picture is less consistent on the concrete side. Two 2017 Angi reviews describe real problems: one customer said the wrong cement was used to replace a sidewalk, which was never sealed and left debris and a dead patch of lawn behind; another said an epoxy floor coating started lifting three days after it was applied. Other 2017 Angi reviewers were satisfied — one had concrete porch stairs rebuilt and called the work reliable and neat, another said a foundation waterproofing job was done well and charged fairly. Angi's own rating reflects that split, 3.1 from five ratings, well below the tone of its Thumbtack profile. Worth asking about before booking: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, HIC #187504, is currently listed as expired on the state registry, so it's worth confirming current licensing and insurance directly. For an emergency basement leak or a foundation crack, the quick response reviewers describe is a real strength; for concrete or epoxy work specifically, it's worth asking how a callback would be handled if something doesn't hold up.
