Mario came right out and took care of it. An hour and a half after my call, the work was done and he was on his way. Even gave me a quick quote for power washing & staining our deck which was better than another estimate I had gotten from another company, so I'll be using them for that as well. Couldn't have gone better.
Description of Work: We had a bannister that had partially pulled away from the wall and needed repair.

Very well. Drywall repair was done very nicely. We did run out of time to do the bike hoists but we had a problem locating studs in the garage ceiling which was not the fault of the technician.

Dave Federici did a great job! He was prompt, friendly, likeable, and highly knowledgeable. The old kitchen faucet nuts were totally rusted, but Dave was able to conquer them...and without using a single cuss word! ;-) He gave me excellent advice on the gas furnace, and reassured me that it's working fine despite being an older model. I trust a handyman who doesn't push something new just because what I have is old. I'll definitely be calling on Budget Right and Dave again.
Description of Work: New kitchen faucet installed. Master bath toilet fixed (no longer running). Gas furnace checked.

I noticed water leaking around the base of the toilet .Angie,s list had a deal for 2hours of a Plummer for 110.00 so I called for it. The worker that they sent called me 1st and said it would be faster if I bought the kit and had it there when he arrived. I bought 2 just in case he had enough time left to check the master toilet also. By his own admission he made 3 attempts to properly seat the apparatus, breaking 2 in the process. He had to go to ace and buy the third one . He did buy an extra one for me to return and get credit for. I noticed that he kept looking at his cell phone from time to time. He said "I just want to make sure I'm doing this right". By the time he finished I was really puzzled so I asked him if he was a licensed Plummer and he sai no,"I would be making a whole lot more money if I were". The toilet base does not leak so I had no reason to squawk until now. A few days ago I accidentally knocked an object into the toilet and had to call a Plummer to deal with it . To reach the object 2 men had to remove the toilet. They immediately hollered for me to come look. They showed me a broken flange . They said they wanted me to look now so they wouldn't be blamed for it . Eventually this broken piece could cause the toilet to shift. I can send you a pic .

"The toilet base does not leak [Member Information Removed] I had no reason to squawk until now." "A few days ago I accidentally knocked an object into the toilet and had to call a Plummer to deal with it ." Although setting a toilet ring is hit or miss installing a toilet is a no brainer type if task. If however you "accidentally knocked an object into the toilet" this would cause the flange to break.

Never happened because the handyman never gave us a list of what we need to buy in order for him to get the work done. There seems to be a communication gap between their project manager and handymen.

Supply list are best put together by the service technicians once they reach the job site. They can than access the correct materials that are needed, make a materials run and then get the project completed in a timely manner. This single accountability process keeps one person accountable rather than having one person put a materials list together; a second person make a materials run and than a third person install the materials. Simple processes actually save the homeowners money.

It went perfectly. He asked if there was anything else he could do because we had 20 minutes left on the 2 hour offer. We would definitely use this company and handyman again. The company answered the phone promptly, and gave us an appointment the next day - which we needed.

I did not quite follow this customer's comments. It sounds as if we applied her coupon to an onsite estimate in an effort to save her money. I am not really sure I understand what exactly this customer's complaint is. We have reached out to her. If there are issues please call 877-507-2126 as feedback is always appreciated and our work is warrantied.
