It went fairly decent. He did a pretty good job. After he left, I noticed the switch on the wall doesn't work with the ceiling fan. Overall, the service has been good with them. I've used them 2 or 3 times. Everything was good. The workers who came out were pretty good. They were on time. I have a problem of what could be done. It was in the last minute when I found out what work they cover. I wanted to be able to get a better picture of what I could have done. The price was very good.
Description of Work: I purchased a "Big Deal" for Budget Right Handyman. He installed a ceiling fan.

Elain arrived promptly at 8:30 the time of the appointment. She was very professional and did an amazing job installing the faucet and filter. She is a perfectionist and made sure the rug was perfectly aligned with the rest of room. It looks great! She also helped move some very heavy furniture easily. I was very impressed by her and will use her services again when ever i need it!

It is very small (25 sqft) but still very involved process of demo-ing the walls, ceiling and a full 6.5ft wide mirror above the vanity. We called provider and asked if their Angie's Deal for 2 hours of handyman service would be the appropriate offer to use for this type of work, based on the small size of the space to be worked on. I believe I spoke with the owner and he enthusiastically confirmed that his current offer would be perfect to use for this project, but advised that we plan for 3 hours to be on the safe side. That was perfect for our budget! We were able to schedule the appointment day via email and get started in under a week. The worker, Alberto, showed up on time and was pleasant and very focused. He came in, did a quick assessment and confirmation of the work to be performed and got to work instantly. Thanks in part to advice provided by the owner when booking the appointment. I was given sage advice about how to handle the construction refuse. He strongly advised that I research available options for the bundling of garbage and how it all works with my village. He advised I have a plan for i) where it would be relayed to, ii) how it was going to be bagged and iii) who was going to pick it up and from where on my property. He warned me about the possibility of municipal fines if this was not handled properly, so that I could get on it and research prior to game day and have a plan in place. I was enlightened and thus very appreciative of his knowledge in this area and i ended up using a very turnkey solution for medium sized demolition garbage. Bagster bags from the Home Depot was my chosen solution and will doubtless save me a lot of headache and heartache with my local village. The worker on site, did a fantasttic job, came in on time, on budget and cleaned up very nicely after he was done and gave me a quote for additional work i have already requested. I would absolutely use this service provider again.
Description of Work: We are beginning the long process of remodeling a basement powder room.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
We have provided service for this client twice in the past. On the first occasion this client argued with our service rep over the cost of materials, which were clearly documented, and how our basic time-and-material system worked as well as strategies for repairing different items. We tried a different service rep the second time and the same result happened. We got arguments on our hourly rate, which was clearly mentioned up front and hadn’t changed since the last visit. Even simple material reimbursement at cost for materials necessary for their job was met with an argument. The jobs they were asking us to perform were basic handyman jobs that we handle every day and should have been easy for any handyman to accomplish under normal circumstances. I regretted servicing this customer the second time and apologized to my service rep for putting him in the position to deal with such an unreasonable customer. I informed this customer that due to the multiple problems we encountered in the past we would not be accepting any more work from them and that they can receive their refund from the Angie’s List concierge service for their pre-paid coupon.

Absolutely on time. Minimal chit chat or downtime between tasks. It was nice to get the array of things done. I swapped out picture hanging for some other task as I didn't sense patience with the inevitable minor adjustments. But getting the one large heavy item hung means I can do the others. And better yet, I may have found a painter. Price not rated, as it was a deal
Description of Work: Hung a closet door, installed closet rod, repaired two drawers, fixed caulk, hung heavy mirror, etc. All the tasks that have needed doing.
