Raquel responded quickly to my project request. She came within two hours. Raquel was able to repair my door handle, so I didn’t have to buy a new one, at a fair price. I would use Raquel again.

First of all, I was delighted to see this team of young women leading their own business!! They came early and were ready to do the work right then, instead of the typical multiple rounds made by other handy men. Their estimate was reasonable and they did a thorough, professional job of repairing the door of my Tuff Shed which was falling off its hinges after the storms. And they were super friendly to my pack of dogs!

WOW. All there is to say is WOW. Raquel and Ximena are truly a wonderteam. I hired them for a large project- building a 10x10 prefab shed office. Made from 100% spruce, I was really concerned about finding a contractor who would follow the manufacturer’s instructions to a tee while not ruining the beautiful natural look of the wood. Raquel went above and beyond to not only follow the instructions, but also catch discrepancies between the manual and the video instructions, and to come up with creative solutions that transformed a kit shed into something that looks custom made. For instance, because the previous contractor we hired had left a gap under the wooden foundation for the shed, and Raquel devised an ingenious (and aesthetic) solution. She purchased pressure treated fence posts, and cut them to size to fit beneath the shed, matching our redwood deck perfectly. Beyond the high quality of work, what I appreciated most about Raquel's business was her clear communication and collaborative approach. I got several quotes for this project before choosing a contractor, and most of the guys I talked to were dismissive or overly confident. I was not convinced that they would actually follow the instructions for the (literally) 1000+ pieces of wood & hardware for this kit, much less that they would let me have a say in the details of the work. By contrast, Raquel is a great listener and a collaborative thinker - it was important to me that I was able to to help out with the construction to help cut down costs and so that I better understood the structure if there was ever a repair needed in the future. Of course, Raquel & Ximena would have easily been able to complete this on their own if I had just passed them the manual, but for hands-on homeowners, it is nice to know there are supportive construction professionals that see you as a partner in the work as opposed to an annoyance. Especially as a woman, I am used to being talked down to or infantilized by contractors, which i HATE. This duo was a breath of fresh air, incredibly hardworking & cheerful to boot. I have already consulted with them to get a quote for my next project, a set of built in bookshelves!

Details: 10 items • Outdoor furniture • Yes, I have assembly instructions or make and model information

Raquel is amazing! She's a perfectionist and also really fun to work with. I had about 20 pieces of art that I needed to hang. Not only did she respond to my project request immediately, she was very understanding and flexible when I changed my mind 3+ times on where / how I wanted one particular piece of art hung. Raquel also fixed a door of mine that wouldn't lock. I will be hiring Raquel and her team for all future "handywoman" work.

Details: 16 - 20 • No, none of my items are more than 6 ft long or weigh more than 20 pounds • Ladder not required • Residential

Raquel was responsive, professional, and courteous. She recommended a mount for my sound bar and had all the other parts and accessories with her. This was a challenging job because I wanted it mounted above the bedroom door but she recommended an outlet be installed which is cleverly hidden behind the TV, and a full motion mount so I can move it, swivel it, tilt it, etc. She came when she said she would and did a great job. First photo shows location of outlet and where I wanted the TV, second photo shows the finished job.

Details: Drywall • TV smaller or equal to 60 inches • Yes, there’s an electrical outlet nearby • Yes, I need to conceal cables and wires • No, I’d like help in selecting a mount or stand • Swivel (moves side to side) • Sound bar
