Great experience! Jesse Morris was our service tech and he was a pleasure to work with. He arrived on time, provided quality work, and finished in a timely manner. We will use budget right handyman in the future and hope to work with Jesse again.

Keri Basourakos was great! They arrived early and made the necessary adjustments to my shower rod to ensure it fit properly in place. Keri also installed three back porch blinds taking about 15 minutes for each. All three tasks were done in under 2.5 hours. Will definitely reach out to Budget Right Handyman for my future projects. Thank you.

I have used this company for several years and was very pleased with the work that Jesse Morris did at my home recently. Jesse was well prepared, took a look at the problems and managed to repair the two items on my list within an hour, which included a trip to the Home Depot near me. Jesse was very friendly and very kind, especially with my 2 doggies. He is extremely competent and didn't waste any time making the repairs. I highly recommend Budget Right Handyman, and Jesse in particular.

They could not complete the work as requested. He was not a certified technician and could not perform the work. He charged me $79 and he also asked for additional payment. I could have used the money to hired a certified electrician. If you require electrical work performed call somebody else for electrical needs don't hire electricians from this company.

My old kitchen faucet was leaking and bought replacement faucet at a big box hardware awhile back and looking for a pro to install. Made arrangements with another company that offered coupon via Angi but was not provided up front pricing on the install, just the cost of visit. When the pro arrived, they sized me up and asked $500 for the install after getting the foot in the door. I declined and he contacted his dispatcher and lowered the amount somewhat but I still declined and indicated I'll just pay for the visit. The pro knew I wasn't down with their pricing game and was straight up and waived the fee for visit. Then made arrangement with a different big box hardware that offers installation with independent contractors with up front pricing and purchased a better kitchen faucet. Was supposed to get a call from the contractor shortly prior to appointment but never got a call nor did they respond to email and my call to them. Once the contractor was revealed to me after scheduling the installation, I did an online search and the review suggested this pro was known for not following up on calls or appointments. After the scheduled date and time passed and a no show, I rescheduled for another installer with the big box but then contacted BRH just in case. They offered to do the job for half the cost of the big box contractor and I scheduled the install with BRH, then cancelled with the big box. Keri from BRH showed up promptly at the scheduled time and was in and out in less than an hour. My new kitchen faucet runs fine and no more leak.

My job was a little complicated because we needed the old sink/towel bars removed before the wall paper guy came and then needed the new stuff re-installed with the new stuff. Edgar and the woman who accompanied him were wonderful, they were quick and so attentive to detail. I love the new bathroom!

I needed to repair some water damage in my living room ceiling and, having used Budget Right Handyman previously for a similar project, I went straight to them and, once again, they did not disappoint. Booking the project was straightforward and a technician was assigned to visit my place within a few days. The technician, Manny, went above and beyond to make sure the ceiling looked pristine, including preparing a custom mold to replaster a moulding in the room (for which no off-the-shelf replacement existed, since this is a really old building). This did result in the project going over budget, but they communicated clearly that the project would take longer than originally anticipated once they realized the moulding would require custom plastering. And the results were, honestly, impeccable; you cannot tell that the moulding was ever damaged, and the ceiling looks great.

I declined there bullying tactics and was still rob illegally for $198.00 for no work done from my account..

I was very pleased at the pleasant personality & professionalism of the technicians Marshon Hughes & leonard Bailey. They were prompt to the designated appointment time (actually early). They installed my air conditioner unit in under 40 minutes and cleaned up after themselves. I would definitely use Budget Right Handyman services again. I even referred them to a friend for HVAC services.

Edgar did a great job in hanging my chandelier. When he first arrived, he took one look at my current setup and could tell the previous owners did not hang their light fixtures properly. He was able to help me decide on what I should do next and quickly got the job done within the hour. I've hired an electrician before to hang a similar chandelier and the electrician took much longer. I've used Budget Right Handy man for a number of services from drywall, electric, and tiling and they always do a great job. Would highly recommend Budget Right Handyman and Edgar for any electrical work!
