River Plate Handyman & Design exceeded my expectations in every way. He was extremely communicative, responsive, and punctual throughout the entire process. Not only did he do a fantastic job on the project, but he also went above and beyond to make sure everything was done with care and excellence. He’s personable, professional, and genuinely takes pride in his work. I’ll absolutely be hiring him for all future projects and recommending him to anyone looking for quality handyman services. Highly, highly recommend!

Cristian is a very technical and knowledgeable handyman. He did an amazing job in a reasonable price. He helped me to choose the materials and took all the responsibilities to finish the job (Painting my front door to fix scratches and discoloration, changing locks and handles, hanging pictures and some other home maintenance work ). He did a lot more than I expected. If you are looking for someone who does excellent job, look no further, he is the one.

I recently hired Christian for a few home improvement tasks including TV wall mounting, Costco sun shade installation, and setting up Ring security cameras—and I couldn’t be more impressed! From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. The quality of work was outstanding—everything was done with precision and care. The TV was mounted securely and at the perfect height, the shades were installed neatly, and the security cameras were set up efficiently with great attention to detail. What stood out most was the value for money. The pricing was very fair for the quality of service provided, and there were no hidden costs or surprises. Above all, Christian was punctual, courteous, and clearly knowledgeable about the work. He took the time to explain things, answered all my questions, and made sure I was completely satisfied with the results. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled handyman!
