I hired Hercules to paint approximately a thousand square feet of painting and to add crown molding throughout two floors of my house. I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable price I was quoted, because not many contractors enjoy doing crown molding. Remberto and his crew arrived the first day on time and were extremely professional and neat. I even added a project, with more molding, and with no hesitation it was done for an extremely reasonable cost. They finished the job in three days with impeccable neatness and way above my standards and expectations. Most importantly, the crew is trustworthy, I was comfortable leaving them in my house alone, which was a huge plus. I highly recommend Hercules if you are weary of having strange people in your house, no problems whatsoever.
Description of Work: Approx. 1 thousand sq. ft. of painting, several coats to cover previous dark color and three large, non-square rooms with crown molding.

Remberto provided a competitive quote, and based on reviews on Angie's List, we decided to hire this contractor. Remberto and his crew were punctual, not only for the estimate, but for the days of work. Day 1 was acceptable, with a few minor items that could have been corrected. As the crew began moving more quickly through the house on Day 2, the work became sloppy (crown moulding corners not even close to meeting in the dining room, similar issues with baseboards in a couple of areas of the living room. Photos are available.) Prior to work beginning on Day 3, Remberto came to the house (he was on another job for the first two days) to discuss the issues. He was in full agreement that certain parts of the job were not acceptable, and asked for an opportunity to fix the deficiencies, which we granted. After discussing the problems with his crew, the workers decided they did not wish to continue on the job and left.
Description of Work: Install baseboards, crown moulding, chair rail throughout the house.

Fantastic job. He used Benjamin Moore paint and the quality and speed with which his team got the job done was impressive. They started on Wednesday and by the end of the day, they were more than halfway complete painting a 1200 sq. ft. 2 bedroom condo. By the end of the second day, he did such a great job that I asked him to also install the marble backsplash and he had the entire project complete by Saturday. Since the condo was newly purchased and empty, I let Remberto and his team take the keys and work as they saw fit. They were incredibly professional and left the place in excellent shape. I will definitely recommend Remberto and his team. Their work is excellent, their prices are reasonable and they are overall great guys!
Description of Work: I bought a new condo and Remberto and his team painted all of the walls and trims. In addition, I asked Remberto to install a marble backsplash in my kitchen and his team did an excellent job. I ordered the marble myself and they installed it in 2 days.

Overall it was a positive experience. My porch and ceiling look wonderful. The job took 3 days (as was expected). It was done well and very neat. I will be using them again and I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: I had my front porch painted in November, 2011 and some small carpentry work done. Everything was done well and this company is a pleasure to work with. This was the second time that I used the company and I intend to reserve time in the Fall again for more painting. I think that the price is fair. They are prompt and neat and also flexible. I had intended to do the painting myself but realized it was a job much bigger than I had expected and I asked if they would be available to do it. There was no hesitation, it was agreed upon, and the work was really well done. Remberto, the owner, is not always present but he comes in the morning and in the evening to check what has been done. He is approachable and always polite. I was aware that he calls the workers over the course of the day to check on the progress of the job.

Please read all of previous statement.
Description of Work: Remberto was early for the initial consultation. The job was to plaster the walls of my 100 year old bedroom and paint the cealing, trim and windows white and the walls a pale blue 2 coats each. I had already purchased the paint. Remberto was late for the start of the job, though once started the demo work and repair was done fast, clean and very professional.The third visit he was very late but once again he stayed and worked till the plastering had been sanded and it's second coat was finished. He started the painting. The the last day of the job I had an issue with my job and Remeberto accomidated me with no problem. He arrived early and I of course got held late at my job and he was so kind and waited for me to show. I am so ashamed to have kept him waiting when he was going out of his way to accomidate me. He finished up the final bit of sanding and the remaining painting that needed to be done plus any touch ups. The cealing still looks a bit rough but maybe when it's dry it will blend better. I wasn't looking for perfection as if it was to perfect it would make the rest of my 100 year old cealing look bad. So it's in keeping with the rest of the home.He left my room and my home clean. Remberto was pleasent, cheerful, respectful worker. I'd hire him for another job in a heartbeat. In fact I've taken his business cards to hand out to my clients who need work done. (I'm a hairdresser in an upscale salon).

Remberto Limalobo answered our call personally and, much to our delight, agreed to come by the next day. He arrived exactly when he said he would and very quickly and efficiently performed the work, dealt with the unexpected complications quickly and efficiently, made sure that the work was done exactly as we wished, very thoughtfully cleaned up afterwards, and charged us what we would have to consider to be a bargain rate. He was extremely responsive, efficient, courteous, and professional throughout. We were so happy with the entire experience that we intend to speak with him about doing a variety of other jobs in the future.

Hercules Contracting had the most reasonable cost estimate for the work we wanted to do. We found the company through Angie's list and it had very good reviews, so we called. Remberto was very responsive and seemed to know what he was doing. The installation of the railings on the front steps was done promptly and very well. I was very happy with the results - the aluminum rails are very sturdy and the workers did a very clean job. He also gave us a very good cost estimate on the deck work that we needed, although we need to postpone that work for another month. He gave us good suggestions that were cost effective and would not waste a lot of time to ensure our deck was safe and sturdy. I plan to work with Hercules Contracting again.
Description of Work: Hercules Contracting gave us an estimate on installing metal railings on our front steps and also some deck work. Remberto answered the phone right away and scheduled the estimate two days later. He gave us the most reasonable estimate and seemed to know what he was talking about, so we decided to start with the front step railings. He measured the steps, gave us quotes for aluminum or steel railings; we decided on aluminum and he put in the order with the metal working company. After a week and a half the railings were constructed and they came to install them.

We set up an appointment, got an estimate and the job was done the following week in less than a day. The crew all were friendly and knowledgeable and did great work. By the end of the job, we were like old friends and I would call them back or refer them to others anytime.

This was a positive experience and I am grateful to have found Remberto. He responded immediately and arrived as scheduled for the estimate and to do the job. He is extremely competent, polite and professional. After doing his best to adjust the kitchen drawer, Remberto explained that once adjusted, the drawer wouldn't remain flush with the other drawers and cabinets. He advised us to purchase cabinet magnets to resolve the problem and we are confident that this will be the best solution. We will use him again without hesitation.

Remberto called me pretty quickly after submitting my request here on Angie's List. He came over soon after to review our needs. He quoted us $3200 in labor, $400 in materials and then whatever we were going to pay for the vanity, tub, toilet, etc... And that the job would take 5 days. Needless to say, this price was SIGNIFICANTLY less than what I've been quoted else where. So we booked Hercules to start on the 31st of March. We purchased everything we needed at Lowes and Remberto picked it up for us. The first day he had 2 guys come and gut the bathroom. They were pretty much done that day with the gut. After that, we only had one guy doing the work. We ran into some problems here and there, nothing that you wouldn't expect when tearing out a bathroom that's been there for 50 years. Plus our tub was damaged when we got it so Remberto had to go to multiple Lowes locations to get it swapped. All in all, the pricing and results were great. The job took 10 days instead of five, but the price didn't change which was great. My guess is they planned on having more than one guy doing the job. That was no big deal though, we showered at our friends house for a few days. Once the tub was in and the tile dried, they put up plastic so we could shower.

The work overall took a total of 5 days, with some time in between to allow for paint, cement and grout to dry.
Description of Work: I contacted Hercules for an estimate to paint my upstairs hallway and 2 bedrooms, and also to retile my bathroom floor and change the vanity and toilet. I also asked him to replace the inside doors on the upstairs rooms. We settled on a time and date for him to come over. He came to my house at the time agreed upon and gave me a thorough written estimate. When I called him back to say that I would like to hire him, we agreed on a start date and he began work as promised. He did the work we had agreed upon and in addition there were a couple of extra things that I asked him to do, which he did. He completed all of the work in a timely fashion, the work was done well, and very neatly. The work area was cleaned up everyday. In addition they were extremely helpful. When it came time to put the toilet in, the one I had purchased was still in the box and when they opened it, it was cracked. They went to home depot and exchanged it for me. Also the faucets I had bought for the bathroom were the wrong type and they again went to home depot to replace them for me. I was at work all day while they were working so I was not able to run to the store. They were very respectful of my home. They stuck to their estimate with minor adjustments for the extra work I requested. The rooms they painted look great, there was a lot of prep work to be done and it was all taken care of. The new doors are perfect. The bathroom floor looks great along with the new vanity. I recommend them highly.

Not well. Very expensive for an extremely small job.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate to finish an area less than 50 Sq.ft. In fact it was 3 out the 4 walls. This is a very small office space(7x7) underneath the stairs in the basement. I already did most of the work myself, framing, installed new window, and place sheetrock with one coat of compound. All I asked was to finish the last coat of compound, crown molding and base boards, paint, and install a floating floor. All materials supplied. This is less than a full days work- keep in mind how small the space is; His estimate was $1150!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is outrageous! When I asked what exactly he is charging for? His response," I have to make 4 trips to finish and gas costs alot." When his advertisement clearly states -"will not charge for travel". I really dont have the time to put in to finish this project but at this price, I will do it myself. I have many other projects that will cost more, e.g. A future addition 50x50= 1000 sq ft to be completed. I wont be calling him.

Response from Hercules Home Improvement
It is obvios Member consider my estimate price way out of the 300 dollars she wanted to pay. I consider it fair assuming I have to finish in a professional manner something that's been initiated not planned with the professional point of view. Small room yes but more than normal size room details going from finishing drywall not properly installed trim (crown,baseboard.wiindow,door ) painting and installing laminated floor. on top I have to provide guaranties and off course be insured COME ON

Everything went great. The owner answered my initial call immedicately and came to the house within 24 hours to give me a quote. He gave me a quote in writing on the spot and broke out the quote to include labor, materials and all the details. We selected the colors and were specific by brand. The job took 3 days, 1 for prep and two for painting. They arrived exactly on time, were very professional, cleaned up when they were finished every day and everything looks wonderful. They even moved out a sofa and love seat to the curb for the trash pick up for me. I would definitely hire them again!
Description of Work: I needed some painting done in my mom's house arounbd the corner from mine. She wanted a living room, a hallway, two small foyers and 7 doors painted. The job also included 3 windows and woodwork. We picked out two colors plus a specific white for the ceilings and woodwork. One wall was an accent wall. I got quotes from 4 different painting companies. One was a little lower and two were higher. I decided to go with Hercules.

Remberto Limalobo, the owner of the business, answered his phone right away. We discussed the scope of the job and he provided an estimate. He was willing to come over that same week. It was great to find a handyman willing to come by for such a small job. He actually arrived two hours early--this was fine for me. His expertise was very helpful -- for example, when hanging the hooks on the wall, he asked what I would be hanging and then suggested that we use mollies, because there were no nearby studs. He also does carpentry, drywall work and painting, so we discussed some other projects like a window seat for my bay window and some built in bookshelves in the bedroom. I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Two hooks hung on wall. Broom holder hung in closet. Vanity door screwed back on vanity. Wood item screwed onto shelf. Decorative object hung on door.

Remberto was very professional. He called me back immediately and was willing to come over in the evening to provide me with a quote. In addition to the list of items above, I also asked him about installing a new floor. Given that I will do a complete renovation of the bathroom in a year he suggested that it was more cost effective to wait to install a new floor. He provided me with a quote and suggested that I think it over. He completed the jobs with no problems. He was very willing to listen and answer my questions.

This is a second job by this company. The business owner did not do the job himself, it was done by an employee of his, although he called and came in to check a couple of times. I was satisfied with the job particularly because painting an older house can be difficult and also because he had to remove old wallpaper which was challenging. The company was paid $700, the balance was spent in buying primer, paint, etc. which we had agreed to do. The owner and his employee were reliable, tried their best and we were happy to have hired them.
Description of Work: The first report I had sent in was for a ceiling repair. This time it was for painting our living and dining rooms and the wall going up the steps.

I was extremely pleased with the work and everyone involved. I have contracted with them to come again and I look forward to this job being completed and hiring them again.
Description of Work: I contacted the company and set up an appointment for an estimate. I was contacted promptly and a date was set. I met with Remberto, he assessed the room and gave me an estimate. I thought that it was a very fair price and I agreed to it right away. We set the dates for the work to be done. They arrived promptly, worked steadily and neatly. The work that was done was painting in an upstairs bedroom. The room needed to be finished with spackle (we had started it months ago), sanded, 2 coats of paint (walls and ceiling), and a radiator scraped and painted. The room looks beautiful and I have booked them to come again in November.

I contacted Hercules Home Improvement upon the recommendation of Angie's List. The contractors I had previously contacted on my own either reneged on appointments or responding to my calls. Remberto responded promptly to my phone inquiry and came over within a couple of days to quote the job. I accepted his quote and arranged an appointment on a Saturday at 9:00 AM. He and his helper arrived at 8:45 AM. Remberto worked in the kitchen while his helper tackled the bedroom. The kitchen work required some careful cutting and measuring, as well as Remberto needing to go out and purchase some molding. I had the materials (wallpaper and paint) on hand. Although you can clearly see there is new wallpaper next to the old even though they were the same pattern, the job was neatly done. Same for the bedroom. Remberto's helper filled a lot of holes and gave the room two coats of paint. I was pleased overall with the work that was done. Although the price was a bit high, Remberto's punctuality, attention to detail and overall professionalism made it a sound investment. One huge plus in my case was his willingness to come on a Saturday to do the work. I might not have handyman work on a regular basis, but should there be an instance where I do need a handyman, I would not hesitate using Remberto's company again.
Description of Work: The kitchen ceiling had an unsightly area where (years ago) plumbers had to bust through the ceiling to get at the base of the bathtub on the second floor. Also, same area, the wallpaper above the stove was dirty and grimy; some tiles at the base of the cupboard were missing. Lastly, one bedroom upstairs was in serious need of a paint job.
