Remberto presented himself very professionally and guided me through what the process will be. It took him more days than anticipated but he was punctual, neat, and took the needed time to see that everything was falling in place.

Our new home looks great. My wife and I are excited and looking forward on moving soon into our new home. The project took a bit longer than expected but we are happy with the work. Remberto is punctual and neat. He works long hours. For a fact, I know this project was a bit challenging for him but we worked together on finding solutions, especially on the pocket doors.

The results were good in the end just little things that came up he didn't want to address during installation, unforseen problems a hole behind the sink once he pulled it out I had to make him put a piece of piece of wood there before installation. a hinge on a door pin was broken and I wanted to replace it, sink installation a whole left from previous sink in the molding he left the gap open instead of installing a piece of wood, I had to ask him several times to fix it and the flooring a bubble was left I addressed It and he said there was nothing to be done so I had to stop the work he then figured it out, My flooring was not completed the pantry floor he wanted more money which I thought was included in the price!
Description of Work: Kitchen sink and cabinet installed, 6 doors cut and put back from carpet that someone else installed, kitchen flooring plank installed.

Roberto and his helper did a great job. When other contractors wouldn't take the job because it was "too small" Roberto came, explained what had to be done, and have us a great price. He even called in advance to let us know when he would arrive. Roberto was courteous and professional and did excellent work. We highly recommend him!

I had a list of odds and ends to do, he was very good. I would definitely recommend him. I reached him to him, I needed help hanging things over my porch window. He came and did it in like 10 minutes. He came early and was in and out in no time. It was a simple thing but I had sprang my knee and couldn't do it myself. I was so appreciative because I had company coming. I would use him again without hesitation. I called him on a Friday and he was here at 8am the next morning.

It went mostly good. There was some misunderstanding about part of the work on the sort it, but they did what I asked in the end. We had them rebuild the porch stair posts, there were 4 of them, 3 are fine but 1 is not vertical, it's rather tippy.
Description of Work: We had a lot of wood repair done, and front porch columns 're made or repaired.

There was some disagreement about the scope of the work. The initial inspection and explanation was not with the same person who came to do the work, hence the confusion. Ultimately, they did what I asked. The only job that is a bit weird is the stair posts, on the porch side steps arent vertical, they lean a bit!

Romberto (sp?) was very prompt and professional. He was patient and mindful in explaining what work needed to be done and diligent in completing the tasks. His rates were not excessive and he did not try to push me to hire for more services than I was ready to do at the time. Our kitchen looks 10 times better, shiny and new, and our home has some needed repairs which will last for years I hope. Well done, would definitely seek his services again.

Very professional, punctual, and reasonable. He would not commit to anything if he does not have time, he will tell you right away about his availability. However, he will work with you, even on weekends. We have worked with him and his team couple of times (from handyman job to bigger project) and experienced consistent results.

Remberto is an excellent service provider and I would definitely recommend him. He was punctual, worked efficiently and was very courteous. Most impressively, Remberto was able to keep work-related dust to an absolute minimum despite having to do most of the work with an electric wood sander. He made sure to cover vents and brush off any excess dust prior to bringing anything into our living space. We also had a sleeping baby in the apartment while he made a conscious effort to work as quietly as possible. I will absolutely hire Remeberto again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Remberto came in to fix an interior bedroom door that was not latching properly. He walked my wife and I through the various options, and we decided to go with the cheapest/fastest solution, which Remberto recommended himself. He took down the door, shaved the top of it down a bit and then re-installed the latch. Once he was done, the door closed perfectly,

Rumberto and crew were fast, professional and extremely clean. The job took exactly as long as expected and every night the job site (our basement) was cleaned, vacuumed and all tools and materials were stowed. Unlike some contractors Rumberto is not "needy" of the homeowners time.

We recently moved into a house that needed a face lift. We got three estimates for the work we wanted done which included tile work, painting, drywall. Remberto's estimate came in comparable to one of the other companies but we decided to go with him because we liked what he had to say during the estimate walk through. He always gave his honest opinions and suggested different ways to get certain jobs done. It was great dealing with him directly on a day to day basis and not some foreman that you would get with a large company. He and his workers were always there early and stayed late. He even worked a few weekends to get the job done. All the work was done on time and was high quality. The house was always left clean after a days work. There was a handful of additional things that came up along the way and he had no problem adding them to his list. I will definitely use Remberto again, for jobs both big and small.

We used Remberto in 2013 for various tasks and were very pleased with his work so called him again. he completed work on our deck, the gutters and leaders, and the basement. The basement work was quite extensive including removing wall board, dry rot and treating same, water proofing,and re-install wall board and painting same., he also repainted light pole on lawn and mailbox. he also replaced ceiling tiles in the basement. We found Remberto very helpful and completed all the duties carefully and we were very pleased with his labor. He was always very courteous and anxious to please. We certainly will recommend him and use hi in the future when needed. He was always there on the days promised.

The project took 5 days to complete which was pretty quick considering the extent of the work involved. A new closet was built in the master bedroom which blends in seamlessly and looks original to the room. The 2 bedrooms and bath have not looked this good in years. Not only did the rooms desperately need painting, the walls and ceiling needed to be spackled and sanded down to give it a smooth consistent finish. Good bye cracks. Hello pristine looking walls. Old radiator covers were scrapped and painted. They look fantastic In addition he painted the staircase and entrance foyer. The hand rails were sanded down and fresh stain was applied. I am thoroughly pleased with the work and will definitely keep this company in mind for future projects.

I have no hesitation recommending Remberto to others. He worked with me on scheduling things at mutually convenient times, he was upfront about what services he could provide and which he could not, and he was completely professional and friendly throughout the whole process. There were a few minor problems/mistakes that arose and he addressed everything so the end results were great with each project. I appreciated how he answered all my questions as i decided how to go about certain projects, and would present options to me with his recommendations so I could make informed decisions. I would hire him again if I have a future need.
Description of Work: Hercules Home Improvement did a number of different projects for me, including remodeling an entire bathroom and kitchen, painting a number of rooms, sanding and refinishing a stairway, and installing some vinyl flooring.

Remberto is a true professional and a great man. After he came to do the estimate I knew he was the right man for the job. He has a meticulous eye and he made sure he understood my expectations. He worked with me to help select colors and he has great taste and ideas. He was punctual, professional and he really goes the extra mile to make sure the customer is happy. He gave us a fair price and great service. His work is excellent and I would highly recommend him! He is coming back to do some tile work on our kitchen back splash. On top of it all he is a very nice man and trustworthy which is so important. He really went above and beyond and we are grateful we found him.

Requested quote for hanging 5 foot x 12 foot section of drywall on our kitchen ceiling. Advised the old drywall would already be removed. Only service needed was hang drywall and tape/mud. I would even do the painting. Was quoted 900 dollars for this. Would be MAX of 3 hours work, that is 300/hr. Absurd!
