Home Repair Services in Los Angeles, From a Licensed Contractor
Every home builds up a list: a door that sticks, a cracked patch of drywall, a leaky faucet, a light fixture you have been meaning to replace. Small repairs are easy to put off and frustrating to coordinate, especially when each one seems to need a different person.
Rafa Home Builders offers professional handyman services in Woodland Hills backed by a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1150519). Because we are licensed and insured, we can take on repairs of any size, including work that needs a permit, and we group related tasks so your list gets done in fewer visits.
Homeowners, landlords and property managers rely on us for general home maintenance, move-in and move-out repairs, and punch list completion after other projects. Small repairs are backed by the same team that works as a full-service Los Angeles general contractor, so they get the same care as larger remodels.
- Drywall repair, patching and interior touch-ups
- Minor plumbing fixes and fixture installation
- Carpentry repairs, doors and hardware replacement
- Punch list completion for homes and rentals

HANDYMAN GUIDE
Getting the Most From a Handyman Visit
A few simple steps make repairs faster and more affordable.
Make a list and group tasks
Write down every repair, even the small ones, and add photos if you can. Grouping tasks by area or trade means fewer trips, fewer parts runs and a lower total cost for the same work.
Drywall repair and interior touch-ups
A good drywall repair blends in: the patch is feathered, the texture matched, then primed and painted. We match existing finishes as closely as possible so repairs do not stand out.
Minor plumbing fixes and fixture installation
Leaky faucets, running toilets and worn supply lines are common fixes. We also install faucets, light fixtures, fans and bath accessories, and check shut-off valves while we are there.
Carpentry repairs and hardware replacement
Doors that stick or will not latch, loose cabinet hinges, damaged baseboards and worn locks are quick to fix when the cause is addressed, such as a loose hinge screw or a shifted strike plate.
Property management repairs and turnovers
Between tenants, a clear punch list and one point of contact make turnovers faster. We handle residential maintenance for landlords and property managers, from touch-ups to fixture replacements.
When a repair is bigger than it looks
Sometimes a small stain is a hidden leak, or a soft floor is rot underneath. Because we are a licensed general contractor, we can scope the larger repair, pull permits if needed and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
