They contacted me through Angi, then asked for information which I quickly supplied, then no contact. When I contacted back got an apology, an estimate & an appointment. Then actual worker called, had no idea what job was being done. I sent him email. He told me the estimate was too low, thought only 4 windows. He came out for the appointment, looked at some of the windows, said had to do massive amounts of preparation like pressure washing, lead testing, some kind of treatment. They'd get back to me. Oh no they won't. I'm looking elsewhere

I highly recommend BRH workman Manny Sanchez. He completed several small electrical jobs quickly. He correctly diagnosed reasons for lack of electricity in garage (faulty GFCI outlet) and at outdoor light at front door (faulty light switch). He installed ceiling fan and ceiling light. He was respectful and patiently answered my many questions.

I've used BRH multiple times and they always exceed expectations - from scheduling, to project execution and follow up. Justin Lamerdin installed ClosetMaid Track Shelving for me and did a great job. Great attention to detail. Great communication. He also helped install some other things like bathroom towl bars, and a coat rack, with anchors into dry wall. He also did a great job with those.

Victor called ahead, offering to come earlier since several of his jobs finished sooner than expected. I wasn't able to take advantage of it but appreciated his reaching out. When he did arrive, he'd already reviewed our photos and had a proposal for how to fix the downspout easily and inexpensively. He repaired the downspout, securing it in place so it wouldn't come off and ensured the water would be carried away from our building foundation. Another great experience with Budget Right Handyman!

Edwin was professional and friendly. He was on time and did an excellent job in installing an outlet for our electric fireplace. He was very knowledgeable and showed us the best place to install the outlet. The area was left clean and tidy. It would be a joy to have him work for us again.

Our technician, Sergio came out to the site and was extremely knowledgeable and very polite. It was nice dealing with someone who knows what he is doing and courteous in the way he carries himself. Also, the job was completed very quickly and he resolved all my issues. Thank you, Sergio! Will definitely recommend Budget Right Handyman to my colleagues as I work in the Real Estate industry.

Fair. PRO- the company did reduce some of the overall cost, ad most of the final work looked good. CON-The first technician clearly didn't know what he was doing, and made a terrible mess - plaster on wall, cabinets, sink, stairs -despite me personally covering everything in plastic sheeting ahead of time. I had to hand-scrub the joint compound off the hardwood flooring, cabinets and tile grout up and down the stairs. He was nice, but very inexperienced. We had to complain and insist that a different tech be sent out. The second tech was considerably better, and had to redo almost all of what the first guy tried to do. Even then there were problems - holes for cover plates were cut incorrectly and in the wrong location despite my measuring and clearly marking the locations; there was a lot of plaster dust in the floor tile grout because the 2nd tech never used the plastic sheeting to cover the work area, and I had to recut some holes for other fittings myself.
