Nate got it done so much faster than I could have done it myself--with a LOT less hassle. Will definitely use them again in the future. I got the 2 hours for $110 deal. Was worth it for me.

Warning: Do not hire this company! I paid on Angie's List through their system, and then was asked to pay on site even when I told them that I'd pre-paid. Meaning that I paid over double to cost for the work. Both myself and staff from Angie's List have contacted this company for a refund, and they have not responded nor refunded the money that does not rightly belong to them - in short, they are thieves. The work performed was well done and very quick - but all of the credit for this goes to the skilled handyman, and none to this awful company.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
We are investigating this matter currently. We were not aware this situation until this review was posted. Angie'[Member Information Removed] List never called us with any info about this matter. We will be calling the customer tomorrow (today is a holiday). If the customer did not have the Angies list prepaid coupon to give us at the time of service we would require them to pays us in full, without the prepaid coupon code we can not verify anything was purchased. That said if they they did indeed purchase a prepaid coupon of course we will give them that money back.

It took several messages to get on the phone with them. They consider the job to be complex (which I agree with ) and they charge to come out and give an estimate. Wow - paying for estimates now? I would never use a contractor who charges to come out to give an estimate. I could provide a layman's amount of information over the phone so they can give a bid. However, - what kind of bid is that going to be? Not a very complete one I am certain. Disappointing.
Description of Work: I purchased new countertops and have a table portion of the counter that needs to have a frame built with a support. Also, new tile work needs to be installed.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
As the customer indicated, we did not do work for them. This particular customer essentially stonewalled us by not wanting to answer even the most basic questions over the phone. For those customers that are a bit more cooperative, we are the highest ratted company on Angie's List in the United States and have successfully provided tens of thousands of estimates via phone at no cost to our homeowners. For more complex projects, we feel that it benefits homeowners to have an onsite estimate. That onsite estimate consist of driving out to a customer's home (1 hr), meeting with the homeowner (typically 45 minutes to 1 hr), driving back to the office (1 hr), putting together a proposal (1 hr): roughly 3-4 hours of time. We charge $118 for this service, as a deposit, which comes right off the top of the project if and when the customer decides to move forward with us. This customer might ask themselves if I called them up and asked them to do 3-4 hours of work of their chosen profession for free what exactly would their response be?

It went well. He knew what the problem was and how to repair it. He knew what we would need. Knew how to cut the plywood to fit the flooring. We went to home depot together to purchase the extras that I needed as well.
Description of Work: Brian Fulkerson did some plumbing work. A pipe under my sink came apart and I had water all over. He also put a plywood board down where my cabinet had rotted. He put in two faucets in two different bathrooms. He also put down a plywood floor in the bathroom cabinet as well.

It went very well. Reese, the carpenter, was very efficient and worked steadily for three hours with no "slow walking" or padding of his time. He had to work around rainy weather, and did other things around the house until the rain cleared enough to work outside on the back stair tread. He was very skilled and did an excellent job. I got almost all of my "honey do" list done in record time at a modest price. Well worth it to hire these guys to get the job done right. We have used this handyman service a couple of times in the past, with good results. We will be hiring them again, I am sure.
Description of Work: A variety of carpentry jobs around the house: installing a bathroom door hook and towel ring , hanging two heavy antique wall clocks, stabilizing a wobbly pedestal sink bowl, and nailing a loose exterior stair tread back into place.

We did have some trouble with the contractor who installed our doors, in regard to taking extra time while charging by the hour, and doing unnecessary work. However, upon contacting the company, we learned that that contractor was no longer with the company, and they adjusted our price and some of the work done to our satisfaction. We also hired them to install a toilet, and this work was done very skilfully and efficiently. We will definitely consider hiring them again for larger jobs.

4 visits in 3 days and the work is still not complete. Day 1, technician #1 arrives and states work can't be done since the building engineers have to shut-off water for the entire building. After calling Budget Right to re-schedule, they advise me there was confusion in the scope of the work. After sending them some pictures of the knob, they confirm that the knob can be replaced WITHOUT shutting off the water. On Day 2 (1 week after first visit), technician #2 replaced the knob. However, after taking a shower the knob broke and the water was stuck running. Thankfully, technician #2 was able to return and shut off the water. However, he was unable to do anything else due to other appointments and left the wrench in place until another appointment was scheduled. At that time, it was advised to schedule other work to be done since the actual fix of the shower knob would only take a few minutes. On Day 3 (one week after Day 2), technician #2 returned and attempted to use 3 different knobs. It was only then that technician #3 determined the scope was larger than expected and DOES require the water to be shutoff by the building engineers. With each visit I was told to purchase extra labor time for other projects since the shower knob would only take a few minutes. While the other projects have been reluctantly paid for and completed, 3 weekends have been lost. 3 weeks of using a wrench for a shower knob. This is unacceptable. The work was poorly scoped, executed, and serviced.

Everything went smooth from the start. My work was scheduled for a Sunday, and their guy arrived early and was able to start early. Nate was able to remove my old toilets and install two new ones within the 2 hour time frame my Angies List coupon covered. He did a nice job, cleaned up the area, and had me take a look at both toilets when he was finished to make sure I was happy. The cost for this work was less than half of what other local vendors wanted to charge me. I'm very satisfied and plan on having them back for more jobs.
