How we curate

We turn down most applicants.

ATX Home Rescue is a curated network — not a marketplace. The pros featured here passed every gate below before their photo went up.

01

Application

License, insurance certificate, references, sample work uploads — all reviewed by hand.

02

Background

Third-party criminal & motor-vehicle background check. Updated annually on file.

03

Trial jobs

Two paid jobs ride-along supervised by ATX HR. We watch craftsmanship, communication, cleanup.

04

Customer signal

Trial customers complete a private review. Below 4.8★ — we don't move forward.

05

Brand agreement

Signed agreement: ATX HR booking only, photo rights, brand & service standards.

The roster

Launching with one pro. On purpose.

Luis G. / General Handyman.

Our founding pro. If it needs mounted, leveled, installed, or finished — Luis is who Ranger sends.

General Handyman at ATX Home Rescue

Luis G.

Luis is our launch pro and the reason this roster exists. He came to us with a full portfolio of finished jobs around Austin — cabinet installs in tight laundry rooms, floating laminate floors over old tile, the kind of work where the seams matter and the cleanup matters more.

Customers get one number — Luis — for the install, the level, the mount, and the touch-up at the end.

Founding pro
Roster slot 01

Helped us launch the network. Sets the bar for everyone who comes after.

Specialist
Deep in a category

For pros who own a single category — cabinets, flooring, drywall — and ship it consistently.

Top rated
4.9★+ across 25+ reviews

Sustained customer love. Re-evaluated quarterly — we'll quietly remove it if it slips.

Standards & compliance

What we do. What we don't.

Setting expectations upfront protects you, our pros, and our craft. Here's what's in scope at ATX Home Rescue, and what we'll honestly hand off to a specialist.

Cabinet install & mounting

Wall cabinets, base cabinets, hardware, alignment. Studs hit, doors level.

In scope
Flooring

Floating laminate, LVP, underlayment & moisture barrier, transitions, quarter-round.

In scope
General handyman & smart-home

TV mounts, cameras, doorbells, thermostats, shelves, gallery walls, appliance installs.

In scope
Drywall patch, texture & paint

Holes, dings, hairline cracks. Mesh + compound, orange-peel/knockdown texture match, primer and color-matched paint.

In scope
Electrical work behind the wall

Plug-and-play smart devices, sure. New circuits, panels, rewires — we'll refer a licensed electrician.

Out of scope
Plumbing past the shutoff

Faucet & fixture swaps, fine. Pipe replacement, slab leaks, water heaters — licensed plumber territory.

Out of scope
Roofs, gas, & HVAC

Specialist trades. We won't quote them and we won't fake it — we'll point you to someone who's licensed.
