It went extremely well. I received a prompt call to schedule my service that I had requested online. Phil and Stan showed up on time and handled everything perfectly. They were very professional and helpful. This company will definitely get my repeat business!

The work to stop a leak in my kitchen left by the first guy they sent out wen well the second time around.
Description of Work: I am amending my review of Budget Right Handyman because they stand behind their work. We had Ann issue with the first worker they sent out. I phone the company and they immediately sent out an excellent, professional and polite service person, the work was done to my satisfaction.

Everything went very well. Mr. Federici came up with an ingenious idea to repair the issue with the air vent.
Description of Work: Needed several items completed around the home, but the one of greatest importance was finding a solution to a damaged air vent in the floor.

They're pretty up front with the pricing. There's no hidden cost. Actually, I tried to call for another service, and they didn't respond quickly, so I'll give them a C for that one. I wanted three didn't things to get done with them, but the second one didn't work out so good because they weren't really responsive. But the first and third, they were responsive, and obviously I used them again, so they did a good job.

Went great--he got everything done within the time and budget he had estimated. And he made sure I was completely satisfied before he left. DAve F. is the best.
Description of Work: I needed some key things done in order to complete the sale of my home. Dave F has taken care of everything that I needed! Carpentry, plaster, concrete, sump pump, faucet--you name it, he's probably helped me with it.

fencing
  + -1 more
Firstly, let me say that the staff who answer inquiries and schedule appointments and Joe (in charge of fencing estimates) were very professional. My problem is Budget Right's fencing estimate was more than twice the price quoted by two other reputable companies. Lowes and Trulink quoted $1900 and $2000, respectively, while Budget Right quoted $4400+ for the same exact scope and materials (about 50' fence with 1 gate, plus 2 extra gates to both sides of the house; 6x8' treated pine; security or board-on-board fence). I thought to try Angie's list for the very first time to try a lesser known company and hoping for a better deal. I understand and agreed to Budget Right's $20 fee for performing the estimate and would have been happy to pay it even if the estimate turns out to be reasonably higher than the others I got. But the outrageous difference in the quote tells me that Budget Right should not be in the business of quoting fencing projects as they obviously do not know how to do it. Based on that principle, I respectfully asked for a refund of the fee they charged to my credit card but they refused. I think they should call themselves "Budget Wrong" instead.
Description of Work: Fencing (replace an existing straight, 50' fence with a gate plus two extra gates to both sides of the house).

Response from Budget Right Handyman
Greetings! We take our customer concerns very seriously and apologize for any miscommunication that may have led to this difference in price. Our chief aim in business is to be transparent when it comes to our pricing and general business practices. In an effort to be as thorough as possible, we offer a guaranteed fixed bid proposal on larger jobs so that our customers can make an informed decision. Additionally, we do not low-ball our initial estimates to win business, just to have the price fluctuate once the project starts. Whenever a discrepancy arises between our quotes VS our competitors, we are happy to review the work scope in order to help our customers make an informed decision and select the right handyman company for the job! There will always be somebody willing to do it for less!

Alfredo was on time and very efficient. I was delighted to hear he had installed similar bathroom fixtures and garbage disposals two weeks prior. Because of his previous experience he knew what to expect and what tools to bring for the installation.

It went very well. Mario did a great job in fixing the cracked joists. The floor feels very steady after the repair. He got the right material from Homedepot anf finish the job within 3 hours (including the time to purchase the materials). I am very satisfied with Mario's work and have him scheduled back for other handyman projects.

Not well. I wouldn't suggest the company.
Description of Work: I was given an estimate and charged a deposit. I asked about a window being replaced and was informed I had to purchase it. This is a lot of work for me to get a window replaced. I was charged for someone to come out and give an estimate. I have never heard of such a thing. Other contractors came out free of charge.

I contacted Budget Right Handyman for services on Saturday 7/15/2017 within several hours I received a callback and I had an appointment scheduled for the following day 7/16/2017. The person I spoke with over the telephone was Brad, he was very nice and helpful. The person who came to my home was Phil. C; he was absolutely wonderful, on time, professional, and very friendly. I will definitely br requesting him again.

Perfect it was. I met him at Home Depot where he help picked out the paint color and advised me about what type of paint to buy. He sanded the door and applied the paint perfectly. Additionally another closet door would not close. He sanded that down so it is as good as new. Bravo to the company for making the appointment easy and bravo to Phil for a perfect job. These will be the first people I call to do any additional work in my home.
Description of Work: First, let me say that I had contacted several "A" rated companies on Angie's list and this was the only one that called me back. I needed a front door in a condo that led to the hallway repaired and painted. It had been battered during renovation and looked awful. Phil Cummings was the handyman involved. I have no knowledge of painting and since it would be visible to the common area hallway, it had to look perfect.

Gabriel did a great job, as all Budget Right guys have done. The only issue is that the appointment was set for noon, and I had to call BR at 12:20 to find out what the delay was. Gabriel ended up being about an hour late, which is fine -- he was stuck on another job -- but we should have been contacted well before the appointed time to let us know there would be a delay. Not a big deal, but that's the only reason I can't give A's across the board. Otherwise, as indicated above, Gabriel was friendly, explained the issues he was dealing with, he tolerated our spazzy dog, and he did a great job.
Description of Work: We needed a variety of tasks performed, from replacing a light bulb over an open staircase to re-installing a towel bar to some limited electrical work.
