About
Hi! I'm a professional handyman with many years of experience in fixing, building, and creating.
I began developing my skills working in hotel maintenance for several years, where I learned to handle a wide range of repairs and improvements. Since then, I've been working independently, helping clients with all types of projects, big or small.
I come fully equipped with my own professional tools and a strong work ethic.
My goal is simple: solve your problem efficiently and leave you 100% satisfied with the result.
Let me know how I can help!

Rafa is absolutely the best! He has completely transformed my home. Over the past several months, he removed the popcorn ceiling, installed recessed lighting, replaced every interior door, installed new flooring, renovated all three of my bathrooms and much more. From day one, he has been reliable, professional, and incredibly detailed oriented. He consistently shows up when he says he will, takes pride in his work, and always goes the extra mile to make sure I’m happy with the final result. Finding a trustworthy, skilled Handyman can be difficult, and I feel like I hit the jackpot with him. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout this entire renovation. If you’re looking for someone who delivers high-quality work, is dependable, and genuinely cares about his clients, then this is your guy.

We had an excellent experience. He fixed an IKEA hack that I completely butchered trying to do myself and somehow made it look truly built-in. He also assembled and installed an IKEA closet system, installed a closet door, and put up a new mailbox. His workmanship was excellent, he clearly knows what he’s doing, and he paid great attention to detail. On top of that, he was very nice, responsive, and easy to work with. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him.

We had Rafa repair a celling which had partially dropped. Overall, I am quite impressed at how responsive he is and dedicated to doing a good job. His fees are reasonable and he is a pleasure to work with. I will definitely have him doing more handyman tasks for us and will highly recommend Rafa to others.
Thank you so much, Al! I really appreciate your kind words and recommendation. It was a pleasure working with you, and I'm glad you're happy with the ceiling repair. I look forward to helping you with any future handyman projects
