The Angie's list deal doesn't provide as much value as stated in the marketing promotion. While the team was fine (professional and communicative), i was only only to get a fraction of the work that i thought could be completed done.

Very good experience. The tech was running late and the communication was very good. At first they thought they would have to cancel last minute but the tech ultimately showed up.

This is the second time I used them. The first time it went well. The second time several things went wrong They fixed the hallway lies and then I left. Before leaving they told me that they would rewire the lights but not connect it to the switch since I needed to special order the switch. When I got home I found that nothing had been done. I called John (manager) and explained that this work had not been done. He told me that he would talk to his guy and call me back. I never got a call back so I called him back. He told me that he talked to his guy and he told him that I had a wireless dimmer and he needed a wired dimmer but would have him call me to discuss. I got off the phone and plugged in the part number on the internet and the manufactured showed that the part is for wired and wireless so he could have done the work. After not getting a call back again, I called John and explained that I was unhappy with the following: 1) They did not honor the 10% off for angles list 2) They did not add the invoice up correct and over charged me 3) I saw that they had already caused the check but deposited it for a higher amount then I had written on the check 4) I explained that they had the correct part and could have done the work. Furthermore, they could have at least done the wiring if he had mistakenly thought he had the wrong part. 5) The invoice states that he was suppose to fix the hallway lighting and rewire the kitchen undercounted lighting of which I paid yet half the work was not done. I called Angieslist and they suggested that I of through there arbitration process which starts with this complaint and will potentially lead to them being delisted. Beware, they don't call you back and not trustworthy to get the work done if left alone.

Description of Work: I had several jobs that needed to be done. I had drywall and sheet metal put up in the kitchen and basement. Base board were put down in the living room.

We have a satisfaction guarantee. If we dropped the ball we will make it right. If this customer was a first time customer they will get the 10% discount. This customer did not contact us with her concerns. We are investigating this situation now.

Great! Made a call mid-Sunday afternoon to see if they could help. Talked to Paul who said he'd get back to me in an hour with an answer. Called back in ten minutes saying he could have two guys there at noon on Monday. On Monday, Steve was there over an hour early waiting to help as soon as we arrived. James was late because his previous call was problematic but he called to tell us he was running late and only charged us for the hour he was there (even though there was a two hour minimum per guy). They moved tons of heavy furniture up *and* down stairs, (Honestly, I hadn't realized there was going to be so much stair climbing and they were awesome about it). They were fast, nice, and careful. With a piece that was just too hard to get upstairs, they were straightforward about assessing the situation and we left the piece on the first floor. They worked really hard and were nice and funny guys. I would hire either of them again for moving or for other projects because they seemed like they would always try to solve problems rather than just tell you what you wanted to hear. I wish the home I'm putting up for sale was in their service area so I could hire them to work on it.
Description of Work: Needed help unloading a moving truck and on less than 24 hour notice when our help had to cancel.

Justin Pinkus was my handy man and he was great - very nice, very professional, did everything we asked in the 2 hour minimum. I asked that he be careful of the refinished floors when moving and reattaching my washer/dryer and he was perfect, not a scratch. The other jobs were small (but we had let go for years) and Justin did everything quickly.
Description of Work: I needed someone to move a short way and set up my washer and dryer in my basement after refinishing my floor. I also needed a towel rack reattached to my bathroom wall.

Description of Work: Budget Right Handyman Service provided a great service and a down to earth handyman.

He arrived an hour early. Fortunately my adult daughter was home to let him in. He was already working when I arrived home from work. It may have been my mistake on the time. I'm not sure. The doorbell went well. There was a little confusion on the light switches but it all turned out well. Everything works fine. The technician was very professional but did make a mistake installing a pair of the light switches. I pointed it out and he was very apologetic and immediately fixed it.
Description of Work: My doorbell was repaired and three light switches, two of which were intended to be 3-way pair, were replaced. The 3-way pair were not properly wired and were not working as a proper 3-way pair, so the correct wiring needed to figured out.

I called Budget Right to come and repair some issues left by another contractor who is no longer welcome in my home. They were quick to return my call and explained their services and their guarantee thoroughly. He even told me which coupon might give me a better deal. Phil is the Handyman who showed up at my house this morning. I showed him the drywall and speaker mount that needed fixing, explained what the other provider had done and then showed him two other minor issues that I needed assistance with. He said we could fix both of the minor issues while we waited for the compound to dry for the speaker mount. He was prompt, clear, kind and professional. Best of all, I had some time limitations today and he worked within them perfectly! For 4 hours of service and an Angie's List coupon, the price was great! I'm so happy with Budget Right Handyman as a service. I would hire them again in an instant! Thanks BRH and Phil for a job done quickly, professionally and within a really reasonable budget!!
Description of Work: Drywall repair, mount a surround sound speaker, repair sliding door blinds mount, and slide a heavy china cabinet back into place that I was unable to budge on my own.

It went well, technician didn't bring a ladder or a tape measure so it looked a bit unprofessional, but after he was able to gather everything he needed it went really well. They call me a few days later to make sure everything was working well.
