A husband and wife who built a handyman business out of one stubborn idea: that craftsmanship, honesty, and showing up on time still matter.
Rinelli Services started in 2022 in Bastrop, Texas — at the kitchen table of a couple who'd just decided they were done working for someone else's dream.
Jesse brought years of hands-on experience: plumbing, electrical, carpentry — the kind of skills you only get by getting your hands dirty on a thousand different jobs. El brought the heart of the operation: customer relationships, scheduling, the impossible-to-fake care that makes someone feel like more than just an invoice.
Together, they built something that bigger handyman companies can't replicate: a service where every job is touched by both owners. No subcontractors. No bait-and-switch quotes. No "we'll send someone out next week" — because they are the someone.
If we can't do it well, we'll tell you. If a fix costs less than you expected, we'll charge less. The number we quote is the number you pay.
On time. Properly equipped. Ready to work. We treat scheduled appointments like the commitments they are — yours and ours.
We'd rather take an extra hour to finish properly than rush and leave you with something to redo. Quality compounds. Cut corners catch up.
Drop cloths. Shoe covers. Clean-as-we-go. We leave every job site cleaner than we found it. Your home isn't a worksite — it's where you live.
No corporate playbook. No franchise rules. Just two people who care about the work, the relationship, and our community in Bastrop.
Tools change. Codes change. Materials change. We keep learning so your home gets the best of what's out there — not what we knew five years ago.
Every milestone is just a number until you realize it represents hundreds of homes, thousands of conversations, and one couple stubborn enough to do this the right way.
