Rafael did a great job on a drywall patch. I am a landlord and we had to work with the tenants in the apartment. Rafael took the necessary precautions to keep the apartment clean and the tenants happy.
Rafael was very nice and professional. He assisted us with hanging a complex wall of cat shelves and a few other small projects. He was so great we hope to have him assist us with future projects. I highly recommend his services.
Details: I need help with one project or a few simple projects, less than 2 hours of work • Installation • Assembly • Living room • Residential • I'm ready to hire the right handyman based on price & fit
