I've worked with Home Hero on other projects in the past. I just had another fantastic experience working with them to repair and reinforce 2 of my closets in a new apartment. Because of the building’s construction, the closets only had aluminum studs, which caused the original installation to be poorly supported. One closet in particular looked like it was about to cave in because the brackets hadn’t even been installed on the studs. They removed the original closet rods and brackets, which had been welded together as a single piece, and replaced them with separate rods and rod sockets for a much stronger and more practical setup. They also installed ledger boards under the shelves to provide additional structural support. For the closet that was failing, they went the extra mile by temporarily opening the drywall and installing a 1×4 support between the studs to reinforce the wall behind the sheetrock. After reinforcing everything, they closed the wall back up, prepped it properly, and repainted the closet so it looked like nothing had ever been opened. The workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. The closets now feel solid and secure and they look great. I’m extremely happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Home Hero to anyone who wants the job done right.

The team from Home Hero responded quickly when a pipe in our basement clogged causing a backup which flooded half the room. They discovered the pipe was improperly installed several decades ago & worked to make sure everything was up to code. We have not seen a drop of water since they did the work.

Initially, some minor difficulties/misunderstandings about who would do what. Scheduling a wee bit more complex than anticipated--site's "phone tree" not up-to-date. However, work was done quickly, efficiently, and effectively by a "good guy." Price a wee bit more expensive than I would prefer, but, overall, I would use again.

Timely and excellent service. Service tech was very knowledgeable and cleaned up after his work. I would use Home Hero again.
