Rafael was absolutely amazing! I got more accomplished with his help in three hours than I’ve been able to get done on my own all week. He was incredibly efficient, hardworking, and did great-quality work, but what really stood out was how helpful he was throughout the entire process. I was overwhelmed and had a million things going on, and he helped me stay focused, think clearly, and keep everything moving without making me feel rushed or stressed. He somehow managed to keep my chaos under control while getting an incredible amount done! He was also genuinely kind, patient, and easy to work with. I’m so grateful for his help, I plan on having him help me with some more over the weekend and would 100% hire him again. Highly recommend Rafael!

He was very responsive, but unfortunately, I'm a disabled elderly woman, and he texts instead of calling and seem to miss each other quite a bit. Especially when I needed him to come back and reposition my bathtub grab bar. He placed it in a way that makes it extremely difficult for me to get in out of the tub or use it while showering. He did offer me some advice for me to call someone else to pay them to move it. I do have hope that he will come back and move it to the end of the tub so i can use it. I'm on a set income and can't afford to pay another $170 to have someone else move it. He still takes my phone calls, but lets me know he's busy. He asked if i would be nice enough to write a review, so i did. Very nice young fellow. Not to kind though, absolutely nice & pleasant. Here's some pics.

El Rafael did a fantastic job assembling our green house. Very quick to respond, was able to come out in less than a days notice and worked into the dark to get the job complete. Highly recommend.

Raphael did a great job. He did exactly what I needed him to do. He knows exactly what to do. He was also here on time. Also, he’s friendly! I’ll definitely be using him to help me again!

Rafael response time was fast. I needed help to move so many things in limited time ⏲️ 😩 . Rafael was able to help me in a pinch. He packed everything neatly and organized. He was able to also assemble NEW desk, bed frames and dresser. He is very respectful, understanding and honest. I will keep his contact information for future projects. Highly recommend to help seniors and senorita
