A message from Aloha Home and Commercial Services:

Dear Valued Customers,

With these tough economic times affecting everyone’s budget, we at Aloha have seen an increase in the work of “handymen”, unlicensed “plumbers”, and out-of-area plumbing companies that swoop in with much lower rates. However, much of this work is being done with cutting corners, low quality materials, no warranty, and zero accountability. Recently, we have had to go out to fix and repair lots of this type of work, sometimes at emergency rates.

What many have thought was a great deal, is ending up costing them DOUBLE.

With this being said, Aloha has decided to lower our costs to help all Residential Customers for the next few months. With Aloha Home and Commercial Services, you get quality work from local, licensed plumbers that comes with a warranty.

We are a true, locally-opened company, started right here in Lockhart in 2018. We support local businesses, organizations, and youth programs each year in Lockhart and surrounding areas.

Please, give us a call for all of your plumbing needs. 512-575-4565.

Here’s where your Cinco de Mayo money goes:

In this episode of 78644 Podcast, host Steven Collins invites guest Rob Ortiz, Chairman of Greater Caldwell County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, to explore how Cinco de Mayo has become more than a celebration-it’s a direct investment into student futures, community empowerment, and cultural pride.

You do not need to be Hispanic to belong. This movement is built for everyone ready to build forward.

Every Cinco de Mayo event isn’t just about the music or the parade.

It’s funding scholarships that put real money in students’ hands.

Students from Lockhart ISD, Luling ISD, Prairie Lea ISD, and Lockhart Pride High School were all included.

These funds support not just college-but trade schools too.

Because success shouldn’t only come through one path.
