HD Construction is Heraldo Almeida's Malden-based carpentry and remodeling outfit — Thumbtack has named him a Top Pro since 2018, with 103 project photos there spanning everything from full room remodels to decks, roofing, siding and masonry. The written reviews on file, from 2015 to 2017, describe real structural and carpentry work done carefully. One customer had Heraldo demolish an old covered porch and rebuild it as an open deck, plus a quick remodel of the front porch, all at what they called a very fair price, with him showing up on time each of the five days. Another hired him to remove two closets and open up a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room — a job he quoted, started the next day, and finished within two days, cleaning up before he left. A third review described him clearing ice dams off a roof quickly enough that the customer referred him to two other people afterward. There's nothing more recent than 2017 in the written reviews, even though Thumbtack currently shows an active 5.0-star profile with 103 project photos and Top Pro status since 2018 — worth asking about his current schedule and pricing directly. For carpentry-heavy remodeling — a deck rebuild, opening up a wall, or roofing and siding work — HD Construction has a strong record of careful, structural work behind it, even if the written reviews themselves are now several years old.

My wife and I hired Heraldo to demolish an old covered back porch and replace it with an open deck, as well as a quick remodel of our existing front porch structure. We agreed on a VERY fair price. Heraldo agreed to start on a Friday morning. He arrived on time each of the 5 days that he worked at my house, was neat and clean in his work, meticulous to the smaller details, and responsive to any questions we had along the way. He is an extremely hard worker, working full days on both Saturday and Sunday, and had the whole project done and cleaned up by Tuesday afternoon. Just 5 days to completely do the whole project. Heraldo's work is top quality, and I would highly recommend him. If you are considering hiring him, he is a great choice.
Harold provided a quick and professional level service. Quality carpentry literally from front to back of my house. Would definitely hire again!
This is the first time I hired a carpenter for breaking two closets and making a opening between kitchen and living room (it is a baring wall) He is easy to communicate. Came, check and gave quote. from next day they started work and finished within 2 days. Before left they cleaned everything properly and also put some salt on my stairs. My wife and I was amazed. Thanks I got them. I am planning to do some other carpentry works.
Hermano was able to remove our ice dams and clear our roof quickly and did a good job. I have given him two referrals since he has complete the work for us. Liz H
Hermano was very responsive (first to respond out of 2) and gave a decent range of cost to estimate well. He came the next day, looked at the problem and gave a very good sense that he could both handle the job and anything that might come up related to this. The work was done while we were not home and everything looks great.
