It was good. They also installed a new microwave. It didn’t take the entire 2 hours, but I didn’t have anything else for them. Scheduling was fine – they were accommodating. The tech that came worked efficiently.

Steve arrived promptly at the appointed time and was upbeat and professional. He took about 10 minutes to access all the work I was looking to do, then went to grab all the necessary tools from his truck. Returned and began to knock out all the work efficiently and expertly. He was very sensitive to my ideas and expanded on them to make things look great. He completed all work within the proscribed time and made sure to leave everything clean.
Description of Work: Hnaged shelving and pictures. Minor repair work on ceramic floor. Minor repair work on window glass.

Aeron did a great job repairing all the items on our list. We had him come back 3 times to complete all the jobs and requested him after he came out the first time. He was very aware of how much time he was taking and we were charged fairly. We had a list of things to do and he worked the entire time to accomplish whatever he could. He went out of the way to get us speical hardware from the store and seemed to not waste time while he was gone. Very perfessional and clearly knew what he was doing with the tasks we asked of him.
Description of Work: Cut down oversized door and hang it. Hung another door that did not need to be cut. Sanded both doors. Fixed loose door knobs and squeky doors. Installed deadbolt lock and replaced another one. Replaced dimmer switch and power outlet. Fixed swing out door that was hung incorrectly

The guy came and disappeared. The owner had to come and do the job. Eventually it got done, but there was a lot of issues. I had them do a lot of things – re-grout a tub, and fix an unstable toilet seat. The tech left to get parts and never returned.

We started with the laundry sink and couldn't get that completely done because of the fixture in the wall didn't have a thread, which I totally agree is not a handyman work. But cruised well with other 2 things.

The charge me $149 for 15 minutes of work, and did not offer any help with the thermostat, or any rebate since they could not perform the work.
Description of Work: Very little. Patched a small hole in the drywall, about 15 minutes, and said he could not touch the thermostat. Very poor customer service.

Response from Budget Right Kitchens LTD., DBA Budget Right Handyman
This customer did not pay $149. This customer payed our two hour minimum of $98 dollars through an Angie's List coupon for up to two hours of service. We can change out a thermostat in most cases, however we will not install a Nest unit. For that we recommend contacting a heating and air specialist.

At first everybody with Budget Right Handyman was friendly and responsive. Nick showed up the first time promptly as scheduled on May 1, 2014. He said he needed to remove my kitchen cabinet and take it with him to work on it at home where he had better equipment to trim it to fit over my new refrigerator. He damaged the adjoining cabinet and said he could fix it when he replaced the other. We had appointments for him to complete the job on May 15, May 30, June 9, June 11 and June 14. He showed up once and said he couldn't work because he "didn't feel good." The other times he was a no show. After June 14 he didn't answer my calls and did not call in response to the messages I left. The first week of July, I called Budget Right Handyman directly and explained the problem. i was told that the "Manager of the workmen" would call me to solve the problem. After a week and a half I called again and Budget Right Handyman didn't answer. I left a message and the "manager" called me the next day. He apologized that "he didn't get my first message." He promised to make the situation right and would find out where my cabinet was. He also promised to "call me everyday to keep me updated on the situation." That was the last time I heard anything from Budget Right Handyman, the work I paid for is not done, and I don't have my cabinet, nor is the damaged cabinet repaired. My recommendation is to RUN, not walk away from this company. They are at best, incompetent, and perhaps worse!
Description of Work: Nick showed up and removed my kitchen cabinet to trim it down to fit with a new refrigerator. He took my cabinet with him to work on at home, he said, where he had "the right equipment." He never completed any work and has not returned my cabinet.

He caulked 4 outside light fixtures and 1 window. It was very sloppy. He did not use a wet finger finish, so it isn't smooth at all.

Arrived on time with professional and friendly approach to my carpentry problems. Assessed both situations and gave remedies to resolve. Purchased supplies needed also using paint supplies on hand to keep costs down. Completed work in time allowed to my satisfaction. Using Angie's List ($98) reduced cost to $38.36 for quality work.
Description of Work: Replaced a board on back of house/primed in prep for painting. Completely worked on garage stairs, installing strong upright supports under bottom stair to stabilize the stairs and a new board in front to enclose the base. Original stairs were unsafe, causing forward falling sensation.

It went great. They arrived on time and were very helpful when they discovered I had bought the wrong size fixture base. They happly to take old base and rewired it with the new fixtures. It works and looks great. My wife loves it! They also discovered that my home was outside of their service area, but they came anyway.

The issue was that even though I discussed my needs on the phone with the scheduler and said I had some concerns about my old house/wiring, I was assured it would be fine. Of course when the man came to install the fans, he said they wouldn't be able to do it for insurance reasons due to my old wiring. I totally understood their position and they were friendly and flexible, but it was frustrating since I had expressed those concerns on the phone but the person who makes appointments wasn't as knowledgeable about my situation and didn't have someone else call me back to discuss. I would use them again for other needs, but it was unfortunate it didn't work out for my current needs. Would still recommend them for other services due to their great attitude and friendliness.
Description of Work: Overall Budget Right Handyman were friendly and professional. I bought a voucher to get some ceiling fans installed.

Initially the job looked well done. Slowly the grout between the tiles started to break apart. I called to get the service fixed and after four months of calling and run around I have yet to get this repaired and as of this week they have not even returned my call despite my patience with the matter. I will not use this company for anything further and will no longer recommend.

I purchased a Big Deal for Budget Right Handyman. When they called to schedule, they indicated, for the first time, that there was a $25 travel charge to DuPage County, which is where I reside. Budget Right is located in Oak Park, which is where I grew up and my Mother's house is located. Based on over 22 years of regular driving bewteen my home and Oak Park, the trip is only 20 minutes each way. I advised the caller of this, and also pointed out that there are many parts of Cook County which are considerably further away from Oak Park than my home. I requested a waiver of the travel charge. The caller said he could not do that. I requested that the matter be brought to the owner's attention. I advised the caller that if the travel charge was not waived, I would cancel my order. Budget Right has not contacted me following this conversation. I am in the process of securing a refund from Angi's List. The travel charge was not disclosed until the schduling call. It is arbitrary and particularly ridiculous in my case due to the limited travel time involved. Budget Right apparently has no interest in attracting new customers, as it failed to follow up with me with respect to my request for a waiver of the arbitrary travel charge.

We do have a $25 trip charge for jobs outside of Cook county. It is clearly stated on the Angie's list deal before you purchase. You can get a refund through Angie's list.
