About
Reliable Handyman | Architectural Designer | AutoCAD Draftsman | General Contractor | Building Inspections & Property Maintenance I’m a tall, fit long-distance runner — alcohol-free and non-smoking — and I bring that same discipline, stamina, and energy into every project. I earned my architecture degree in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and worked for years designing and managing construction as a PM and Superintendent before moving to the U.S. (with a stop in Brazil along the way). While I don’t carry a U.S. architectural license, I offer expert-level drawings and design. I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese, and I enjoy Running, camping, kayaking, hiking, beach & mountains, and travel. I’m based in Austin, TX. With 25+ years of experience in construction, architectural design, project management, and years working for GCs as a Superintendent and hands-on handyman, I offer a unique blend of field expertise and technical knowledge. I take pride in doing the job right the first time — whether it’s installing a faucet, designing a floor plan, or walking a property with an investor. I treat every project as if it were my own home or business. As an experienced architectural designer and AutoCAD draftsman, I also provide permit-ready drawings and contractor-grade insights on remodels, upgrades, and general construction.

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!

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!

Christian came to replace the a/c filter grille and frame. He provided an estimate cost based on my picture. He came on time and worked carefully. While working, he provided detail of what he was going to do.

Above and Beyond Service – Highly Recommend! I had the pleasure of working with this handyman who truly exceeded expectations. From start to finish, he approached the repairs with care, precision, and a genuine commitment to doing the job right!!. It’s rare to find someone who takes that kind of pride in their work these days. He didn’t cut corners or rush through the tasks. Instead, he made sure every detail was addressed and went the extra mile to ensure everything was solid, safe, and finished to the highest standard. His professionalism, honesty, and workmanship have absolutely earned my trust. I’ll be calling him for all of my future service needs—and recommending him to anyone who asks. Outstanding work!
