Dirk came out to look at my kitchen and discuss remodeling options. He created drawings and managed to incorporate all of my requirements. I'm still not ready to start the work but when I do, I'll definitely work with Budget Right. Dirk was prompt, professional, easy to talk to and he really spent time trying to understand our needs.

He did not finish after we asked to use a craftsman that we had excellent experience with on a bath remodeling. Overall we weren't satisfied.

Response from Budget Right Kitchens
Not sure what this customer is talking about when he states that we "did not finish". We never even started a project for this customer. We only offered the design and when he wanted to mix his subcontractors with our subcontractors we opted out of the project. Quality control is essential and we had no faith in his carpenter.

He was very adequate, but not sure I would want to work with him again. When I called to get pricing on cabinetry, he had to refer me to someone else. I decided I wanted my kitchen remodel one way he suggested another way and wouldn’t budge on the idea. Only designed it the way he wanted it.. He didn’t leave it open for discussion

Response from Budget Right Kitchens
Often times some of my best ideas come from brainstorming with my customers. That was not the case with this customer. I distinctly remember this customer having some really bad ideas. At the end of the day we have a name to uphold and throwing together a bad kitchen just to make a quick buck is not our idea of customer service. I will walk away every time before I let that happen.

.Budget Right Kitchens is an excellent company. He gave me the plans, we met in my kitchen, he kind of talked about what we were looking for and he was very friendly with very good ideas. He gave us some plans, we haven't started using them yet, we are going to make changes to the plans. They are a fine company and they provide excellent service. They didn't do any work other than come up with the plans. He also offered to help us change the plans if we came up with something else but the plans that we came up with were so different so we didn't get back to them.
Description of Work: .Budget Right Kitchens did a plan for us. They didn't do the remodelling job for us.

Called right before purchased deal expiration date. This was not an issue; Dirk was very flexible. On time, friendly. Only issue was my request for disability access to sink and stove were minimized. I think this deal was not the right deal for that special request. If I was redoing a kitchen for non-handicapped access, I would have used his plans/drawings. Drawings/plans were provided quickly. They gave a perspective on what we could do. Worth the $45!
Description of Work: Came to the house. Asked what we were looking for. Took measurements. Provided drawings.

The original phone call was answered quickly and professionally. The contractor showed up on time for the appointment and answered all my questions. A couple of days later I received the design plans in an e-mail. The only problem was that the person making up the plans forgot to put in a food pantry which was surprising to me since the contractor and I talked for more than 15 minutes exclusively about the pantry. When I e-mailed the contractor he was very responsive, but the second set of plans had a very small pantry. It took a third set of plans to finally have a reasonably sized pantry. We decided to use a different contractor for the remodel, but I liked the contractor from Budget Right. I would certainly consider using Budget Right in the future.
Description of Work: They came to the house and measured the kitchen area. Then they made up a custom kitchen design plan and e-mailed it to me.

Dirk is great. He's willing to redesign the kitchen plan after 3 months at no extra charge because I wasn't satisfied with the 1st plan. We met in person the 2nd time at the Advanced Cabinet Store (http://www.advancedcabinetscorp.com) and spent an hour discussing different options. He kept asking if I like the plan to make sure I will be happy this time. At the end, we walked through a different choices of cabinet and he also get me the estimate for the price of the cabinet according to the plan we finalized. In additional to the design service, he also provide material and labor estimate for the cost according to the design plan. I'm very happy with the service he provided given the fact that this is the big deal. I paid $45 for the actual value of $500 and he didn't compromise the quality of the service at all.
Description of Work: Dirk came to my unit in Sept 2012 to provide the kitchen 3D design in preparation for kitchen remodeling but we met again in January 2013 to make adjustment.

Excellent ideas and service, far better than any architects I have worked with in the past. Responsive, creative and a multitude of ideas, not just one. Thinks out of the box to help you out.
Description of Work: Dirk was great. Even knowing that we were not financially ready to remodel, he gave us all the time and professionalism you would expect with someone who wanted to close the deal on the spot. There was no pressure at all to spend money and even gave us some economical quick fix tips to spruce up our kitchen as we may choose to sell the house vs. remodeling. Incredibly Fast response to emails. The drawings were great. You really couldn't ask for any better service. Thanks again.

I have included Mr. Dirk's email to avoid misquotes. He states that they sent me something on Monday. Well, I had given Tim a copy of the work to be done just in case he missed something and I had requested an itemized list of labor and cost. To send me a bottom line which was agreeable and then send an 'I'm not interested' note was and is unacceptable as if I had not requested 'a real estimate'. How very UNPROFESSIONAL!
Description of Work: It was approximately 1-7-2013, when I received this correspondence from Tim, who appeared very interested in the job initially and assured me of a detail estimate within 24 hours. When I did not hear from him I tried to email the owner and this was his correspondence: Re: Monday, January 7, 2013 2:14 PM From: "Tim Cornell" <[email protected]>Add sender to Contacts To: "Beatrice Meints-Lucille" <[email protected]> 55 man hours at $47 per hour is $2,585 for labor Thanks Tim Sent from my iPad On Jan 4, 2013, at 9:39 AM, Beatrice Meints-Lucille <[email protected]> wrote: Then I received this one: Dear Beatrice, We meet with you on Friday and sent you something on Monday. Quite frankly we are not interested in doing business with someone with your temperament. That along with the fact that you did not seam to get along with your last contractor tells me we are making the correct decision. Sincerely, Dirk D. Hoerr Budget Right Kitchens LTD [email protected] www.budgetrightkitchens.com Now what this tells me is that Dirk D. Hoerr did make the right decision, supposedly on my temperament because he realized that his work would be no better than the last contractor who decided that he had underestimated the time that cut into a bigger project he had going in another area and would not be able to cover the finishing of my project and the new one. So you see Mr. Hoerr, you did not have enough information about the previous contractor to talk about MY temperament. How dare you? This is a test. Do I have it right?

Response from Budget Right Kitchens
We reserve the absolute right to decide with whom we choose to do business with. This individual did not make the cut do to her demanding nature and poor temperament. There are plenty of good people out there with whom we connect quite well. For the other small percentage of troubled folk might I suggest calling our competition. ;-)

Buying the Angie's List special kitchen planning offer with Budget Right Kitchens (and subsequently hiring that company) was the best thing I could have done for my old house. Their expertise, their consistent good communication, their painstaking attention to detail, their professionalism made them a pleasure to work with. In fact, I was so impressed with Budget Right's remodel of my kitchen that it inspired me to make a (very bad but very true) poem: My kitchen was old, inconvenient and dark. Every step on the floor left an ugly brown mark. White countertops showed every burn, cut and scratch. The cabinet doors didn?t shut tight or latch. There just wasn?t room for my dishes and food, And the layout could always inspire a bad mood. The rest of my house had a comfortable look, But the kitchen was just not a good place to cook! It was time for a change but big changes aren?t easy; The thought of remodeling made me feel queasy. I had lots of doubts and I had lots of fears; It made me procrastinate too many years. At last I decided to take the big step; I chose a good company, checked on their rep. We looked at the problems and crafted a plan, Then down came the walls and the process began. Through good weeks and bad, I depended on Dan, For whatever the problem was, he was The Man. His phone number was the most called on my cell His guidance and help made it all turn out well. His attention to detail I needed to use, And he didn?t get mad when I just couldn?t choose. Jim worked on the project from the very first day; He ?demo?ed the walls and hauled refuse away. He worked on the cabinets, took time with staining Even when dust made it seem it was raining. Now wood colors match and so does the trim Thanks to the skill and the hard work done by Jim. My kitchen?s now finished and looking so great! It took weeks and weeks but was sure worth the wait! I know I?m as happy as happy can be, My kitchen looks gorgeous; and now I can see What I?m chopping or rinsing, with excellent lighting. The prospect of cooking is now quite exciting! I love the warm shade of my new oak wood floor, I love the convenience of my pocket door, I love the nice cabinets, fit like a dream, I love the great paint job ? hazelnut cream, I love the new backsplash like hot crème brule. My kitchen?s a room where I now want to stay! My friends will admire the complete transformation And it will be time for a BIG celebration!
Description of Work: Dirk Hauer from Budget Right Kitchens analyzed my kitchen and talked with me about what I was interested in doing; he then drew up plans for a kitchen remodel (which I'd purchased as an Angie's List special offer). Impressed with the plans and the speed with which I received them, I hired his company to do a total kitchen remodel. Budget Right carpenters gutted the room down to the studs, made changes in the room arrangement, redid the walls, installed a new floor in the kitchen and entryway, put in new lighting, new cabinets, all new appliances and (my favorite) a pantry closet. They installed new Silestone countertops and a tile backsplash. They made additional space in the kitchen by removing the old door between the kitchen and dining room and then installing a convenient pocket door (using the existing door which they refinished to match the wood of the kitchen). They finished by painting the kitchen and entryway. Their recommended company, Mr. Floors, refinished the wood floors in my living room and dining room to match the new oak kitchen floor and this work was conveniently coordinated with what was happening in the kitchen. There were a few surprises during the remodeling process (since my home was built in 1927, Budget Right and I had anticipated that there might be). Additional plumbing needed to be installed for the new dishwasher, the kitchen floor underneath the old tile and linoleum turned out to be in terrible condition and my very old electric wiring needed to be updated. Throughout the process, the carpenters (especially Dan and Jim) and other workmen went above and beyond what was expected. They always cleaned up the area before they left in the evening, they made every effort to make it possible for me to continue living comfortably in the house while the remodeling was taking place and they always, ALWAYS kept me informed about what time they were arriving, if they would be late, if there were any additional costs, if there were problems with materials arriving on time, etc. It wasn't a painless process (no kitchen remodel could be), but it was much less harrowing than I had expected.

Dirk contacted us via email a few days after our purchase on Angie's List. We were able to agree on a date and time and Dirk arrived promptly. Dirk spent a great deal of time with us discussing our needs and offered some really great ideas that we had not thought about. We felt that Dirk would be easy to work with and even though we did not have the job done at this time we would definitely contact him in the future.
