Raphael did several projects for us, each one was done professionally and beautifully. He repaired plugs that were not working in our garden and in the house, making sure the wiring was as up to code. He installed two heaters on our patio cover and ordered two custom made covers to protect them from rain, he built a beautiful shed in our side yard for storage, making it match the house and watertight. And installed 240 electrical and a car charger in our garage. He had to run electrical all the way around the house from the panel, and he routed the pipes so they are hardly seen, yet are attractive. We highly recommend Raphael and will call on him again!

We recently used Rafa for some electrical work we needed to complete a project. During a bathroom remodel, it was discovered that we had wiring that was hidden under the bathtub that was removed. Needing a electrician quickly, Rafa answered the call and performed the wiring rerouting that we needed. Not an easy job by any stretch, it required him to climb into the attic in narrow crawl spaces to complete the job. He managed to get the necessary equipment and parts to rectify the problem in timely manner. He was respectful, professional, analytical, and knowledgeable in dealing with our issue. I would highly recommend Rafa to handle your electrical problems.

Details: Wiring • Under 8 feet (low ceiling) • House

Rafael did such a great job on all of the work he did for me mounting art and mirros and installing lighting including a chandelier. He is super resonsive and just a very nice guy to work with. I would hire him again for sure! Highly recommend.

Raphael was great. I needed someone to put up two solar outside motion detector lights and he did a good job. He was on time, very professional, and stayed in touch with me. He even came back after dark so that we could make sure that the lights were pointing in the right direction. I would hire him again.

Details: Lights • Over 14 feet (lofty ceiling) • House
