Budget Right Kitchens LTD., DBA Budget Right Handyman

It went pretty well. They were easy to work with over the phone in coordinating the work. I subcontracted the work to them. The price was reasonable and I was satisfied with the overall quality.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was all right. If I was rating them on 5 stars, I would probably give them 3 1/2. There were two bathrooms that it was done in total and those turned out fine but one of them is a little leaky. It wasn't really their fault; I think it was more with how the marble was cut in the wall. I would grade them a 3.75. I am a first time homeowner so I'm not sure about the price, but I think it was fine. The coupon brought down the price.

He came out and did a good job. There was a small problem, but he came out and fixed it right away. I was pleased with his work.

It did take a little longer than expected to schedule the appointment because of the deal. There were no additional fees beyond the cost of the deal. One person arrived to complete the work and completed the job in under two hours. They were able to complete the job and everything turned out great!

Aeron was professional and honest. Very good experience. Would definitely hire him again. Thanks Aeron!

Not well. Provider informed me project would take longer than allotted time of voucher. I know this is untrue. Will perform project myself in less than 4 or 5 hrs given by service provider.

the handyman arrived promptly, and after a few minutes of reviewing the instructions, succeefuly hung 5 blinds in 3 different rooms. they look great, he had all the necessary tools he needed and he was done in the time alloted. i have used budget right handyman in the past and i will continue to use them in the future. they always do a good job, and are all very friendly and courteous.

He did a meticulous job and was very professional and friendly.

It was terrible because the gentleman kept prolonging the work. Basically, he tried to turn 4 hours of work into 8 hours of work. Additionally, he had a bad attitude, was rude, and even walked off the job. I definitely will not be using the company in the future.

The young man was very professional and courteous. Job well done!!

Jeffrey was on time and efficient. Cleaned up the cabinet after. Did a good job.

Couldn't be happier! Ken was great would use budget righty again

The scheduling process was a bit complicated, but they did arrive on time after we worked everything out. Furthermore, the gentleman acted professionally, completed the work quickly, and was very knowledgeable. He actually readjusted the plumbing under the sink which really helped to reduce clogging problems. Unfortunately, they weren't able to do the sink faucet over the course of the two hours.

I've used their services approximately 4 times, and I've always had good results. This time was no exception. The gentleman was on time and professional, and he used quality materials. Furthermore, he was very creative and was able to devise a solution that was cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing.

Everything went well for the most part. They were responsive to my calls in the beginning, the handyman was friendly and professional, and the quality of the work was good. However, the handyman took the door to my entertainment center back to the shop for repairs, and it hasn't been returned to me. I've called and texted the handyman directly nearly 20 times, and I've emailed the owner once. Unfortunately, there has been no response.

went well. highly recommend

Would recommend using in the future.

It went extremely well. The costs was awesome and the work was great. I would utilize again.

It went well. He came out last fall. He was punctual, did a good job, cleaned out a garbage disposal, and knowledgeable.

Sorry this review has been so delayed in submitting, but this experience was quite involved and needed to shared with others. Initially, the installation of my new kitchen faucet and garbage disposal was going well. The two hour "deal" was nearly up, and Ivan was about to attach the disposal. That's when the difficulties began. He announced that the disposal doesn't fit. He said it was too close to the copper water pipes and could cause a rupture. Nonetheless, he continued to try wedging it in. Then he suggested moving the copper pipe to create more clearance. I agreed to that approach, but he did not have the appropriate tools to accomplish this. This glitch required him to go to the hardware store for a blowtorch, solder, etc. Prior to that, he had tripped an electrical fuse. In the process of resetting it, I discovered the that electricity was completely blown to one half of my entire house. I am NOT IMPLYING that he was responsible for the that power outage. It may have been completely coincidental, but it added further chaos to the situation. Now I had to call in the power company and had guys all over my property with a cherry picker and pole climbers. Meanwhile, Ivan returned and began working on the pipes. I was distressed to see him working under the sink using only his cell phone as a flashlight--while working with a blow torch. I offered to supply a hanging flashing light, but he declined. After bending the copper pipe to allow more room, he proceeded to install the disposal. It was still an extremely tight fit with absolutely no clearance between the copper pipe and the disposal. At first, he said it didn't fit, but then seemed to reverse that opinion saying it did fit. But now the problem was that the new unit was a plug-in while the old unit was hardwired-in. He explained that a new type of electrical box/switch would have to be installed. I was astonished that he hadn't assessed the wiring requirements BEFORE staring the job! By now it was almost 5:00 pm, and he had been there since 12:00 noon. He said he's have to come back next week to do the following: install proper electrical parts and move the copper pipes to the other side of the sink. (He further stated that the soldering job he did was of inferior quality because the hardware store 'didn't have any better products.') This made me wonder why a plumber would knowingly leave a customer with low grade materials, and why he didn't carry more of his own professional-grade tools?) My bill for that day was $150, which didn't include the $99 I had already paid through Angie's List for the "Big Deal." Later that evening I realized some of the water supply lines were leaking and water was dripping down from above where the faucet had been installed. What's worse, for the next five days, the only way I could use the disposal was to crawl under the sink, unplug my dishwasher, manually plug in the disposal, and flip a switch. Then reverse the process to use the dishwasher. What's more, the black flange thing you shove food threw fell in after a few uses and was getting ground up inside the disposal. I called the owner the day after all of this happened to express my frustration and concern. (Before proceeding with the job, I had told the owner my concerns about the tight space under the sink for the new disposal. He said the only problem might be some of the plastic drain pipes might have to be replaced. He assured me that his workers knew the location of the nearest Home Depots, etc. To be proactive, I purchased some plastic pipe parts to have on handto avoid the worker having to run to the hardware store.) At this point, the owner said he would investigate what happened. The next call I got was from Ivan again to set-up another appointment. I was expecting the owner to call with back, and I would have requested a different handyman. Over the weekend, I decided to cut my losses and purchase another new disposal with a smaller circumference that was hard-wired. This cost me another $185. I did not want to risk further complications, more trips to the hardware store, and pay to have my copper pipes re-routed. When Ivan returned the following week, he proceeded to remove the first garbage disposal and re-solder the copper pipes with better materials. I became uncomfortable while he was using the blowtorch. At times, he was aiming it at another pipe, which looked like it was bending. Then, he held it outside of the cabinet where a plastic bag from the hardware store was hanging over the counter. Then, while working with the pipe, the torch was angled toward the back of the cabinet, which began to show scorch marks! When I show him where the water had been leaking, he explained that this happens when you attach a new water supply line to an older, existing shutoff valve. This made me question why a good plumber would--again--knowingly make these inferior connections. (The other leak turned out to something completely different than he initially claimed it was.) He wanted to replace the connections with new shut-off valves, but said he would have to go to Home Depot for those parts. I suggested he call the local hardware store to see if they have the parts. He claimed they did not, because he had been there last week and their inventory was limited. I did not want to pay for travel time to Home Depot, and I wanted the job DONE. He said the alternative was an inferior compression value connection that would be guaranteed to leak eventually. I opted for the "inferior" solution. Low and behold, he returned from the local store with the appropriate shut-off valves and installed them. Finally the new disposal was installed. He wrote up a new bill for another four hours of work. At this point, I didn't even know what I was paying for. He kept talking about using coupons, and I wasn't sure if the Angie's List deal was ever even part of it. About two hours after he left, the smoke alarm went off in my kitchen. I was not cooking or doing ANYTHING. This alarm is incredibly sensitive, and has never gone off in five years without cause. I have of heard pipes in the wall catching fire. Because of the blow torch usage, I was very concerned and decided to contact the fire department. They tested for heat and smoke, but luckily did not detect anything. I contacted the owner to explain my disappoint over all of these trials, tribulations, and cost. I asked for a price adjustment, but he said he could not "take money out of the mouths of Ivan's babes." His justification was that 'he operates on a very tight margin with these Angie's List deals.' Essentially, his business profitably problem was more important than my consumer satisfaction. As for the fire department, his response was: 'since nothing burned down and no one was hurt' and the faucet and disposal are working...there is no problem. His attitude is simply that the means justify the end. If the job was completed, and nothing is leaking, I have no legitimate complaint. Actually, the job was NOT complete, because by now, the faucet had become so loose that it was about to fall out of the hole in the sink! He agreed to send the same guy back to fix it. I demanded he send a different person. After a number of delays, no shows, and odd denials by the owner, a new person was sent late in the day to tighten the faucet. After some tinkering, this man realized that the faucet had been installed incorrectly. It would have to be removed and re-installed. An appointment that should have taken minutes now turned into HOURS! He worked extremely hard to get the faucet in properly. After a few hours, he was finally done. This man did a very good job, and I have no problem with his efforts. But, the saga with Budget Handyman was still not over! There was no charge for the work, because it was a repair of the original work. But then he pulled out a form for me to sign, stating that the job was done properly, I would agree not to write a negative review on Angie's List! I was astonished. I refused to sign the form, which made him extremely nervous. I got the feeling that he was not supposed to leave without that signed document. He went outside to call a supervisor and ask what to do. We were at a stalemate. I explained in detail to this man everything that had gone wrong with this job. He said that he would never have tried installing the first disposal in the first place. If it was too large and the hook-up was different, it should never have been attempted. He understood why I did not intend to sign the form. Apparently, the concern (from the owner's viewpoint) is that if I write a review saying they came back to do more work, other Angie's List members will think they can get free work done beyond the two hours. This was so preposterous, I could hardly believe it. My guess is that the men sent on jobs under pressure to get the job done fast, come with no extra tools, make trips to the hardware store for parts, and don't make much money on the basic job. Then they are pressured to discourage the customer from submitting a negative review. Overall, the $99 Big Deal cost me $650, which may or may not include the original $99. Add to this, the aggravation, time spent on this complicated review and the cost of the original disposal which is now useless to me, I am out far more than this amount!!

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it proceeded fine. They were very professional.

They charged us additional for the work that they did, but it was reasonable. The experience was good. I thought they did a great job, they were reasonable, and it worked out.

Everything went great. Aaron called while I was at a previously scheduled appointment to see if they could come a little early as they had finished the previous call early. I couldn't accommodate them as I was tied up. We showed them what we needed to have done and they were completely professional and upfront with how things would look and how long it would take (and how much more it was going to cost). After review of our door that we wanted rehung it was determined that Brad and Aaron could have installed it but it would not look right as it was warped and, since it was from the mid 20's, it was not square since the previous folks had trimmed things off as the building settled over the years. We decided to not install that door and I would install folding doors later. The other part of the job was to hang the mirror that is 4'X6' and weighs around 175-200 pounds. I had purchased some Z hooks to install this with but chickened out due to the size of this wood framed mirror. I didn't want to try to get it leveled, centered and make sure it was still attached to the wall after we put it up. They were great at making sure that the clips were anchored correctly in the wall and the mirror and it's still attached to the wall and it's still level. I would like to thank them for being up front with the challenges that we would have faced with what we wanted to do originally. They were both professional and had a great sense of humor. The witty banter continued the entire time they were here. I will use Budget Right Handyman services again when i need something done that I don't feel sure I can do comfortably and correctly. Thanks again!

It was a good experience and I would use budget handyman again. They came out on time and got the job done.

Visit went very well. Aaron arrived a little early which was a good thing. Was eager to be sure everything was working properly. Very helpful and knowledgeable.
