"Our house needed strata lock piers. The rep Ivan did an excellent job of Explaining and planning the job. The crew, Mark , Danny and Alfred installed the strata lock piers. They are a skilled, efficient and very hardworking crew. We highly recommend foundation support specialist."
"The crew showed up on time, went over the plan, remeasured the property and suggested a modification. After the modification, work promptly started and they were fast and efficient. Before completion of the job, there was evidence of immediate improvement to our property as the visual cracks in our tile lessened to almost unnoticeable. The job was slated for an all-day affair, but the crew was done in about 5 hours....truly impressive work. While the cost can scare away some customers, you get what you pay for. Therefore, I highly recommend Baird!"
"We are writing our review out of the sheer appreciation and gratitude that we have for the Hercules Foundation Repair and Remodeling professionals. At our 1920â s home on the Southside of San Antonio, we have always struggled with our foundation ( pier and beam ) and over the past 20 years we have had numerous foundation companies try their hand at trying to â GET IT RIGHTâ ! This is until we called and hired Hercules Foundation Repair and Remodeling. The Hercules Team: Allen, Justin and Felix were impressive in their assessment of determining exactly what the issue has been over the years and how best to tackle it head on! We felt reassured after our initial meeting with them and found that our estimate for the project was reasonable. We were very relieved to know that we had found a foundation company that knew what they were doing and stood by their warranty! During this time, we were in the process of renovating our home and to begin the work we needed, our foundation had to be perfect so that our other renovation projects would stand on the work completed by Hercules. The day of the job, Felix came in with his crew and explained all that was going to be done to address our foundation issues and the entire project was done in two days working all day each day while keeping us posted on the ins and outs of the project. As customers, new to Hercules, we felt like we had finally found the competent professionals that would save us thousands of dollars in years to come. As we discussed it, we realized that we had spent well over $30,000 in foundation work over the years since 1994 (year of purchase) and we were still in the same situation... that is, until we started our working relationship with HERCULES! We were pleased with the work. After the crew left, we went under the house to see what all they had done and were so happy to see the thoroughness of the work and even more impressive was the cleanliness they left our home both under and around the work area. In our experience with renovations and repairs, we have had our share of messy contractors who cut corners and HERCULES in not one of them! A few weeks after the work was completed, and with the continued rain we were having this summer in San Antonio, we worried about the original issue of rain/water going under our home and possibly effecting the work. We called Allen and explained our worry and he immediately scheduled a time to come to the home himself to make sure that his companies work was holding up. While here, Allen made some additional suggestions to ensure that we would not have to ever worry again about drainage no matter what kind of rain we received, at which point we decided on a French Drain. Allen immediately made calls to the office and to his foreman Felix to schedule us as soon as possible for the French Drain. We were comforted to know that this additional measure, that we mutually agreed upon, would reinforce what we had already done to the foundation of our home and save us money over time! Thanks Allen. My husband and I found it important to take the time to share our experience with others and support this exceptional company of professionals on a job well done! It is our hope to build a home one day in the near future and we know that when that time comes, there will be only one person I will call for our foundation work â Allen at Hercules Foundation Repair and Remodeling!

Yes. Black stains are more than an eyesore. Some black stains can pose health concerns, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Some stains can also damage the brick’s structural integrity, harming the mortar and resulting in more expensive repairs.
Yes, brick walls often add value to a home. For starters, many people love the look of brick walls, so they can enhance your home's aesthetic appeal and add warmth to your property, especially when it aligns with the rest of your neighborhood's look. They also provide privacy and security, which can further increase the resale value of your home.
To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.
