A workshop, not a parts counter
Helenvando Co. began as a one-bench operation repairing lamps for neighbours on the east side of Brownsville. Today we work for families, interior designers, antique dealers, hotels and clinics across South Texas — but the bench approach has not changed.
We diagnose before we quote, we keep original hardware whenever it can be saved, and we photograph antique pieces before disassembly so nothing is lost. If a repair is not worth your money, we will say so.
Where we work
Brownsville is home, and we travel the Valley every week.

How much does lamp repair cost in Brownsville?
Most standard rewires run between $45 and $95 depending on cord length, socket type and whether the base has to be dismantled. Chandeliers and antique restorations are quoted after inspection. We always confirm the price before starting work.
How long will my repair take?
Table and floor lamps are usually ready in three to five working days. Chandeliers, multi-arm fixtures and full restorations take one to three weeks depending on parts.
Do you collect and deliver?
Yes. We collect larger fixtures across Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito and the surrounding Cameron County towns, and we can arrange island collection for South Padre Island and Port Isabel properties.
Is repaired wiring actually safe?
Every lamp we rewire gets new cord, a new socket, correct polarity, strain relief and a continuity and load test before it leaves the bench.
