It went excellent. Tom called before arriving. He removed the mattress & box spring, looked at what needed to be done, showed me the problems and what he would do to repair it. He left to buy the necessary parts, repaired and gave it additional support. Tom replaced everything and I was very pleased.

Larry Williams of Budget Right called ahead of time, got here on time and started working. He came with needed supplies and fixed both problems, thanks to some extra parts he brought with him. I'll use this company again, and would ask for Mr Williams by name to do other work for me.

Spots of mud on walls and floor not properly cleaned. 2 of the guys smoked,(they smoked right outside the door) but the smell clung to their clothes and I am asmatic and the odor bothered my sinuses. I was charged for the full 8 hours both days, even though they took a half hour lunch that was included in the 8 hours, so I paid for their lunch breaks. Also they used some of our tools and did not clean them properly. When they painted the primer, the missed several spots

Great experience. Called Budget Right Handyman because another vendor fell through. Purchased an Angie's deal. What made this a great experience beside the actual work performed was Richard's professionlism. Although I was given a window time for service, I received a phone call when he was enroute which allowed me to run an errand while waiting. I had a minor issue with leaking. Budget Right Handyman was very responsive and quickly scheduled a follow up visit. The issue turned out to be defective parts. Will definitely use again

I phoned for service on Monday morning and the new fixture was ready for use by one o'clock in the afternoon. Normally I would have attempted installation myself. However, when I judged the age of the existing fixture and the building, and previous difficulty of configuring similar installations, I called Budget Right Handyman. The technician, Leonard, arrived promptly and proceeded with the work. As I expected the installation was not simple. The new fixture parts supplied needed modification and additional connectors were required for proper install. Leonard let me know what needed to be done in an informative and courteous manner. The work was then quickly and neatly finished.

The guys did a great job helping us move furniture [lots of it and some REALLY heavy ones] up and down stairs into the garage, into and out of the basement, to and from the basement etc. They also helped move all items in our 2nd floor closets down to the basement as well. They worked for us for 3 hours, the price was reasonable and they worked really hard. It saved us a lot of time doing it ourselves and they had the manpower to do all the heavy lifting and moving. They were worth every penny!! Thank you

This went very well. I had called 4 other contractors and no one else even called me back. Budget Right answers the phone every time and has a very accessible system for texting and emailing as well. Photos of the areas were sent and the technician, Andy, came exactly on time and recommended exactly what needed to be done. He then quickly went to Home Dept and obtained the needed supplies (because I chose not to have to do that) and came and worked quickly and efficiently. He did a great job, cleaned up everything - no mess remaining at all.

I am pleased with the work and would definitely call this vendor for more work. I'm just so happy to have my new flooring down. The handyman arrived on time and informed me what he was going to do. The handyman also cleaned up after himself.
Description of Work: I've used this provider last year (2016) to do some repairs to areas below my gutters and was pleased. So I immediately called them about tearing out carpet and padding, in my family room, and installing the click in vinyl planks. I also had the handyman to swap out an old toilet for a new. The project took 15 hours to complete. I bought the materials and he picked them up from Home Depot for me. I also discarded the old materials, but there is an option to have the handyman to remove the old materials, but it costs a little extra.

We used Budget Right Handyman about a year ago to install ceiling fans and to install closet hardware, that went well. Service was quick, efficient, and professional. We hired Budget Right Handyman again this fall to have all of the trim redone on the bottom floor of our house. Phil was our handyman. He did an exceptional job! He was very professional and easy to work with. He knew exactly what materials we needed and he was very helpful in us making decisions and purchasing materials. He did a great job, we are so thrilled with the way the work turned out! He even gave up his Saturday off to come and finish the project for us. The only downside to our experience was the people we spoke with on the phone. They underestimated the length (and thus the price) of our project by 8 hours. They also were not helpful in telling us what we needed to buy before our handyman arrived, we had to go out and buy supplies when he arrived.
