If you are looking for more than “just a handyman,” Waterside Handyman Services is the one to call. Rafael is an incredibly talented craftsman who doesn’t just fix things—he transforms spaces. He completed many projects for us within a month! He basically transformed our entire house. He resurfaced our cabinets, replaced our floors, painted our entire home, installed new countertops, epoxied our garage, dry walled and fixed every detail in our home- all with flawless attention to detail. What sets Rafael apart is his vision and creativity. He gave us top-notch recommendations and money-saving ideas that elevated the results while staying within budget. He turns projects into an experience—one that is stress-free, professional, and surprisingly enjoyable. Our home now feels brand new, warm, and truly ours, thanks to his skill and dedication. I can honestly say that if I ever have another project, I’ll be calling Rafael immediately. I’m recommending him to all of my family and friends, and I truly can’t thank him enough for giving us the house of our dreams. If you want someone who delivers not only quality but artistry, trust Rafael at Waterside Handyman Services. You won’t regret it!

We were very impressed with Raphael's workmanship. He was installing new fans for us in a very old house and there were challenges while installing each of the fans. Raphael went above and beyond! I would use him again for handyman jobs around our house.
