Rapalo Handyman Services

I appreciate the quick response time. I received a quote and within 40 minutes they were in my house unclogging my sink.

They explained everything they were doing and were very professional.

Great service and pricing. I appreciated the thorough explanation of all the steps during repair.
I will recommend to all my friends.
Thank you

Rapalo and Jose were top-notch when it comes to their communication with me, their responsiveness and overall knowledgeable. They didn't try to overcharge me and were very upfront. A+++ work, job well done. Much appreciated!

Quick, fast, cost effective, and super nice. About to use them again for something else!

Got my garbage disposal replaced. They always answered all my questions in a prompt manner and were very punctual. My tenant was happy with the results. I would definitely use them again.

2 stars because they showed up a couple of days after I called to replace some moldy drywall in the ceiling about 2 ft long. And they did a good job-ish. I paid $650 for 2 workers for 2 hours (very expensive) but they were available.

My tenant later told me that looked at their refrigerator and noticed that there were several magnets, mementos and items missing. He happened to check the garbage bag that the maintenance workers used for the trash on the mold project and, after combing through mounds of mold and plaster wall he finally found them.

This is completely unacceptable and to have them be just thrown in the trash even in an accidental manner shows a complete lack of professionalism.

After letting them know, they just apologized and refused to reimburse any of the cost which I was going to forward to my tenant for his trouble.

Hi. My sincerely apologize, you are definitely right is unacceptable and not the best professionalism on our side. Again i know my apologize is not enough I will explain this to my dad and our workers to be more careful to avoid this type of incidents

After a new AC install from another vendor, we needed additional electrical work to finish the job. Jose and the rest of the team were excellent. He explained the nature of the work (running a new line from air handler to panel and adding a new breaker), and how they planned to tackle the job very clearly.

The work itself was great and they finished quickly. Thanks Jose! Really nice having AC working the way it should.

They are GREAT!!! Jose and his crew did about 2 days worth of projects and jobs around my house-- and I was very pleased with the results. Jose was very clear and reasonable with explaining the work he could do for me and the prices were fair. I am very relieved to find someone that is reliable and efficient. I will definitely be calling on them again for future work and services!!

I'm sharing how good these guys are while hoping that they won't get so booked up that they'll never have time for me again.

It's ridiculous, but the last place I thought to look for a handyman was right here on Yelp. *Forehead slap*. I hired several handymen using Thumbtack and Angie's list over the past few years but all disappointed for various reasons.

This father and son duo charge by the project, not by the hour, but they are thorough, efficient and won't stop until they've got things sorted out just right. I had a laundry list of things that needed fixing as long as your arm and they made quick work of it.

Their pricing was fair and they provided me with a carefully prepared list of each item and what materials I was responsible for as well as which materials they would supply.

We got off to a rocky start when they showed up for our first appointment one hour late, but that was never repeated.

Some things they accomplished:
- Seal deck
- weatherstripping doors (elegant solution, too)
- Drywall and painting
- plumbing repairs
- Kitchen drawer rail repair

I guess Jose is too busy now. Asked to do another project and he replied that he try come or call me back the following day to set up an appointment. Never did, so disappointed. I found another handyman...

They replaced the faucets in our master bathroom and they were so quick! I will definitely be using them in the future. They do all types of handy-man work.

Jose and crew helped replace two very old shower systems with new Moen systems and everything went as planned and is working perfectly.  Recommended!

Lack of communication.  It was weird getting ghosted for a $1600 job.   They came to my house and everything.   Afterwards I had to chase them down so much, that I went with another company that actually did an AMAZING job.

Great work running some wiring for new outlets. They came in for my assessment and had the whole project finished very quickly.

Hired father and son duo to install my bathtub and plumb faucet with PEX. Provided the install instructions. They were super friendly- however...

They installed the faucet upside down, but came back to correct it. They did not shim under the tub nor put cement or felt as Recomended by the manufacturer. Found out later that the overflow plastic mechanism was broken off during install but not mentioned. Tub was scratched on the apron as well as the bathroom door. Tub was not shimmed to the studs, and had to be reattached. Shower head spout was not positioned correctly (recessed too deep) for Sheetrock to go over. Tub spout was 2in higher than per the manufacturer. The work got done with no leaks so far, but the quality for the price is simply not in alignment. I corrected about half of the issues, but they should have knocked off 30-40% of their price as I'm certain they did know they were being rough. I would hire them again despite this review, but they need to be managed with certain types of work to ensure that they are careful and thorough.

Responsive, trustworthy, and reasonable. What more can you ask for? I have used them twice now for electrical work and will likely use them again in the future.

Did a great job. Responded first. Did some difficult work quickly and good quality. We will use Rapaldo again!

Hired for walk in shower install. Seemed like a pretty good job on the shower install but then completely botched shower door install and I had to pay to have a more skilled contractor completely reinstall the door with all new parts except glass doors. Now I have extra drill holes in the tile from the incorrect install and wrench marks all over the new black shower head. And there is water leaking from the shower head arm where it goes into the tile so now I have to hire a plumber to correct that.

Jose and team provided a great service for my ceiling fan assembly and installation at a great price. Very communicative and efficient. I would contact again for any future projects!

Although they were very nice, the work was quite sloppy and often incorrectly done. They also backed into a post in my backyard snapping it and half and then pretended they didn't know! They did offer to come back and make some of it right, I declined due to the dishonesty. I was partially refunded but it took weeks to correct the work myself.

They are great! Fixed a broken bed frame, replaced a ceiling fan,  balanced another ceiling fan, and fixed a blocked lightbulb socket in our oven hood!!! I will definitely call them again!!!

If I could give this company 10 stars, I would! This father and son duo are super kind, they went above and beyond to complete 4 projects for me.

They arrived on time, extremely professional and courteous, had every tool needed to complete the work and wonderful personality!

I will be calling them as soon as I move for addition work. I must add they are very fare with their rates especially considering these gas prices.

Thank you Jose & Louis...just the best!!!!

I had a leaky faucet right before the family was coming to stay with us on Thanksgiving. They responded to my yelp request quickly and came the next day. They explained the possible options over the phone and in person. Before completing the job, they told us how much the repair would cost, so no billing surprises! They were patient (I asked a lot of questions), nice, and honest! I'll definitely call them again for some other repairs we need around the house.

We had a bunch of little things to get done around the house. Jose was responsive and straightforward on pricing. His team came in and did the work quickly and with good quality. I would definitely hire him again.

I only used him once, but he came the day after I called. I had lost my remote, bought one at Home Depot, got home and realized the receiver in the fan housing had to be changed out. I had called several places who were very expensive or would come in a couple of weeks. Repalo was quick, reasonably priced and efficient. I definitely recommend them.

When I initially meant this father and son team, I was so excited. They were friendly, and seemed professional and responsive. I hired them to do several jobs in a rental unit. From the beginning of work there began to be many glitches in our agreements and in the quality of the jobs. One included replace the plumbing in a shower tub combo and I noticed immediately that they had chipped the enamel of the iron tub while doing the job. I had to haggle with them to get them to refinish the tub to cover the chip. I started noticing that the quality of work was not the best and had to repeatedly ask for things that should have been part of the work such as a faulty tub spout that they wanted me to have to go and replace, even though they bought the part new from Home Depot. Then, white putting in a new door and frame on an outside storage room, they nicked a wire in the wall causing an entire circuit of lights and plugs to stop working. They refused to repair the issue and I ended up having to spend several hundred dollars with an electrician to get it fixed. I explained all of this to both the father and son, including pictures of the damaged wire, and they made it very clear that they would have nothing to do with it. The cost ended up not being worth going to small claims court, but I considered it given the bad workmanship. I recommend moving on and finding someone who has references. I learned my lesson.

such great service...we reached out to 7 handyman service companies and Jose was the ONLY one to reply.
needed a dishwasher hose clean and new hinges/re-hanging of a door at our duplex and although it was a bit pricier than I would have liked, I was glad he could get this done quickly and without any issues...it was well worth paying a little extra as he was efficient, easy to work with, and got the job done!
thank you Jose! you are now our 'go to' handyman in the Austin area!

On time, great communication, fair price and job done right!

They replaced a light fixture. The job was done quickly and without a mess.

These guys did a great job.  They were very professional and skilled.  I asked them to do some minor electrical work around the house.  They arrived promptly, did great work, and worked quickly.  They are who I will be calling first when I need general work done around the house.

I know sometimes people are hesitant hiring a handyman especially for electrical working but Jose is very knowledgeable and responds in a timely manner. Before giving me a final price he suggested he come by to see what exactly needed to be done. He provided different options and prices never pushing one over the other. He installed an outlet behind my TV and did a great job  at a very reasonable price compared to quotes upwards of $450. I received many estimates and he was by far the best option and was available quickly.

Jose and team have done a couple deck projects for me including replacing the stairs. He is prompt and follows through. They work quickly and he responds quickly. I will definitely use them again.

On Wednesday afternoon I requested a response and by Thursday afternoon they had already responded and finished the job. Amazing response time. Great, efficient and quality work. I highly recommend you support this local family business. They replaced my dimmer and also changed the outdoor spigot.

I hired Jose to replace a bathroom fan and vent it to the outside.  All went okay, at least that's what I thought.  I'm having insulation work done now, and one of the first things they told me was that the duct from the fan was just lying in the attic.  It had been attached to the roof vent with regular duct tape, which I'm told was the wrong way to do it and mastic tape should have been used instead.  Since one of my main goals was to vent that fan to the outside I'm revising my original review.

They were able to come soon. Replaced/installed light fixture. Installed new fan. Replaced light switch and stabilized kitchen faucet that came loose. Recommend.

Jose and his team were very professional. They showed up on time and checked in with me along the way to make sure things were progressing as I wanted them to. Jose did a great job of keeping in touch with me via phone call and text and they were really good about making sure they left the house locked and secure. They did a couple of different jobs for me around the house including installing recessed lighting and installing two completely new windows in a wall that had a very small window. They did excellent work. You won't be disappointed if you hire this team of people.

These guys were able to help install an outlet in our garage for our new electric vehicle and then also help with some plumbing issues we had in our master bath. It's a family business and they are hard workers. We don't take holidays, was a true statement. These guys came and finished work in the days between Christmas and New Years. Will keep them in my phone book in case more jobs pop up around the house.

The Rapalo family business did a great job with my broken shower pipe. Arrived the same day as my request, which was very impressive. Professional team. Jose is easy to work with and the crew did a nice job with the repair. I will hire them again as they can handle a variety of jobs.

They did an excellent job.  Fast, good price, His was $85 cheaper then the next person.  I highly recommend using them.

Installed 2 light fixtures for me and were fast, responsive and reasonably priced.  I would definitely recommend.

Jose takes ownership and shows great care getting things done. He is always reliable and up-front with reasonable pricing.

I contacted several electricians, but Jose contacted me and came by the next day. He was fast and efficient. Thanks Jose!

Great service and hard working. Did work efficiently and in good time. Friendly team. Would recommend for different tasks. We had doors removed and new doors hung, mulch in our front and back yard beds and around trees, cut and trimmed bushes trees, removed carpet from tile, and helped with heavy lifting of items in home. Reasonable priced.

excellent work and service, had them install a hood vent for my kitchen, workmanship was excellent.
