Nate was courteous and friendly. Unfortunately, the door he installed has not been closing properly and the air vent he installed at the top of the door has fallen out so I now have a visible hole. I understand things like this happen occasionally however, I did expect to be satisfied for more than 2 months. A call to the service to discuss the situation went unanswered and unreturned. Despite this mishap I would consider possibly using the service again.
Description of Work: Removed door and installed replacement including frame. Also switched two cabinet doors.

Very friendly and honest. Almost like your next door neighbor came to help you out! Took a moment to observe the tasks that needed to be done and was able to complete both tasks efficiently, safely, and was very clean!
Description of Work: Hooked a 100 lb mirror onto a old brick wall - safely. There was a hole in the wall that I had attempted to replace myself. I was sure that it would need to be completely removed and re-patched again. The professional assured me that most of the job was done correctly and instead saved me time and money by simply reapplying the mud, smoothing, and sanding the surface. Looks great.

I used their service once before to install a chandelier and a faucet and was happy with. This time was a nightmare! I called them to fix a step in our shower along with grouting and caulking. Also I wanted them to plug up some openings on outside. They wasted 4 of my vacation days and the work was never completed. Day one Bob showed up and assessed the job and said he was going to come back a full day. Day two he called and said he was sick. Day three he just worked 3 hrs and did the step. Day 4 he never showed up as we suspected.

We have hired Budget Right Handyman several times, and we have never been disappointed. They provide excellent service at a reasonable rate. This time the job was to remodel one wall of our kitchen. It required electrical work, cabinet installation, custom trim work and more. The work took four days, and Steve was wonderful throughout the entire experience. His attention to detail was very appreciated. He arrived promptly, involved us in decisions, made incredibly helpful suggestions, and did amazing work. I have no doubt that we will be using Budget Right again many times in the future.

I was very satisfied with my handyman! He called to let me know he was running 10 minutes late, which was fine. He quickly got to work after I showed him what I wanted hung up and he had my 6 different items up under an hour. There were only two things that were not great. He didn't tell me that he accidentally screwed in a shelf in the wrong place and had to redo it which was fine, but didn't fix or patch up the two incorrect screw holes in the wall he left. I don't have any caulk or paste myself to cover it unfortunately. He also did not have a receipt for me and said Budget Right would email me it, I still have not received one, so hopefully I get one soon for peace of mind. Overall, I would use them again for my future handyman needs, I just think the handymen need to say something if they mess up and fix it, especially such a little issue.
Description of Work: Hung up several wall items, such as mirrors, art, shelves.

Aeron arrived early and was fully prepared to begin work at the exact appointment time at 8:00a.m. He was extremely hard working and took no breaks for the full three hours contracted. His work was very thorough and professional. Aeron offered appropriate advice and was very cordial. He assembled a complex piece of furniture in just two hours and then was able to tie up loose wires and center the piece flush to the wall. He was then able to attach bathroom fixtures in record time since he had to leave exactly at 11:00a.m. to travel to his next project. Even so, he was able to spend a few extra minutes to make sure the project was completed correctly. I wasn't able to get all projects completed in only three hours, but based on Aeron's performance, I have already contacted Budget Right Handyman for further work. Aeron combined extraordinary diligence, professionalism, and attention to detail. He also did this on the hottest day of the year. He has also worked as a mover and therefore knew how to position furniture precisely. All elements of his work were superior.
Description of Work: Aeron put together a large Ikea tv table and installed a towel bar and toilet paper holder.

Appointment was made for 9:00 a.m. on a Sunday. Worker shoed up at 11:15 to take down part of a fence. He took in down. I asked him to cut up so it would fit in the garbage can. He cut the fence parts in half. I looked at them before he left and said they won't fit in garbage, nor could I carry that heavy of pieces. He cut some up again, but not all. He was finished in 45 minutes. After he was done, I noticed there was about a foot or so gap between the neighbors fences. Since there was an hour and 15 minutes left, I asked him if he could jerry rig a piece to fill the opening. He said he had another appointment right away and that it was a two man job. I would not recommend this company. With the hour and a half he had left, he could of at least cut up the wood so I could carry it and it would fit into the garbage cans. I only signed , "yes" to the part of the contract where It asked if I was satisfied because I didn't want any trouble. But, no, I was no at all satisfied. Jean B.
Description of Work: Was to take down a portion of fence and cut up so I could carry to garbage.

Provider arrived on time and was pleasant to interact with. Unfortunately, the quality of work was poor and the work was done very slowly. The provider liked to talk and tell stories but was unable to work while he was talking. The under cabinet lighting was a complete mess, wires hanging out, holes in my wall, and fixtures were not aligned properly. Very disappointed. Would not hire again unless the work is fixed by another individual.
Description of Work: water proofed window and "installed" under cabinet lighting

It's probably my fault that I picked the budget discount coupon to test these guys out. It took a couple weeks to solidify an appointment for a simple sink project which I ended up completing myself with a roommate. I wanted to use this as a way to hire them for more projects had they manage to put together my bathroom sink. The first guy didn't even show up, the second guy said that he would need the full two hours to complete. It took me and my friend an hour with the help of people at Ace Hardware. In the end I gave him a different sink to put together. A smaller one and he barely finished, didn't clean up, was 20 min late and then claimed 20 dollars for materials that was 10 because he didn't have change. We even offered to give him money so he would have change! On top of that, he broke our gate stopper on the way out. I don't give reviews but this sucked. It's a pity because there are great reviews here. I guess I get what I paid for and a little extra damage on the way out.
Description of Work: Simple handyman project, complete disaster.

We treat all of our customer equally. Typically we are booking about a week in advance, taking longer than that probably had as much to do with the customers schedule as ours. I will have a frank conversation with this service rep about working clean. Any material coast should be included on the final bill. We can't address problems we are unaware of, if you ever have an issue please call 877-507-2126.

For the most part it was fine - when I was contacted from the provider for the Angie's deal of 2 hours and I described the work to be done, the automatic response was that it would take at least 3 hours. And it did take three hours, no more, no less. So, the work was done, took the time that they estimated it would (although it might have been able to be done quicker), but courtesy to assist a middle aged woman didn't seem to occur to the handyman. What would have been appreciated would have been assistance with returning the drywall from my garage back to it's original position instead of watching me do this. And I struggled in front of the handyman with the 4 x 8 sheet of drywall. I am in need of someone to provide handyman services, but will look elsewhere for more customer centric service.

Steve came on time and got to work right away.We have a 2 car garage with a floor that seems to retain the dirt brought in. Steve emptied the sides of the garage. Power washed the floor, including under the cabinetry in the garage and put things back in an organized fashion. He explained how to get rid of items that could not go into the garbage. He also changed all our smoke/carbon monoxide detectors with fresh batteries. My husband and I were very pleased.

The handyman arrived on time, completed nearly all the tasks I asked him to complete and clean up afterwards. He wouldn't caulk the shower and finished a half hour early. I wanted to maximize the handyman's time and get started as soon as he arrived, but he explained to me that the service is up to 2 hours, not a guaranteed 2 hours. My advice to anyone hiring their service is to read the fine print and list everything you need done before they come out. Overall it was a good experience.
Description of Work: The handyman assembled an entertainment center, moved a old television from the living room to the garage, and move a old computer and monitor from my upstairs office to the garage. However, when I asked him to re-caulk around the bottom of my shower (approx. 3 x 3 ft.), he said he didn't have the equipment and it would take about 2 hours. He proceeded to tell me that I should have told the person who scheduled the appointment and he would have been prepared. Well, the person who make the appointment didn't ask me to give them and idea of the work, but not for me to tell them everything I need done. I'll chalk it up as a misunderstanding.

That turned out fine. I have used them in the past too and they were thorough and suggested things that we could fix. He was really great. One of the project that I was hoping they could do this most recent time they were able to do the service. They did an okay job and I have no complaints. The only thing that he did for me was fixed a gutter that had come loose. He was on time, but he was rushed to leave. I did have an appointment for the end of the day, as requested when I scheduled the service and planned to pay extra for extra services.
