Just to be clear we did reach out to this individual on December [Member Information Removed], 2020. I am guessing he was busy with the Holidays. - Dirk, Co Founder , Budget Right Handyman

Great. Jerred was prompt and efficient. It took less time than I expected it to. He was prompt even though I'd had to change the date and time. I would absolutely hire them again.

This is by far the worst company I have ever used. The handymen have no idea how to do repairs. The company is completely unorganized and have no idea how long a job will take or the skills of the people they send to do a job. I hired them to install three storm doors at our condo. It took them three trips on three separate days before the handyman just left the doors uninstalled on my floor without saying a word. Turns out the doors that they measured on one of the days did not fit. The repairman on the third day just left the doors on the floor by the door and took off without a word. He did not let me know he couldn't do the job or even bother putting the doors back in the box!!!!!! When I called the office to find out what happened I had to call a few times before the manager finally told me that the doors did not fit. I was charged by the hour and I was ultimately charged a lot of money for Budget Right to pick up storm doors at the store and then have them left all over my floor. The company even after hearing what happened still charged me and left me high and dry. I am writing about my unbelievable experience so people know to stay away from Budget Right Handymen!!!

Response from Budget Right Handyman
This individual was her own worst enemy. She measured the doors on all three occassions before we sent our people out there. We were not involved at all in the measureing nor the ordering of the doors. We felt sorry for her and only charged her for the first appointment that we were out there. If customers are going to order windows or doors ALWAYS , ALWAYS, ALWAYS, have the company that is going to perform the installation perform the measurement. DO NOT let some individual sitting at a big box store suggest to you a "stock" door size, as "stock" sizes rarely fit current opens. Yes custom measurements and custom doors cost a bit more however if you want it done correctly this is the only approach. Hopefully other homeowners can learn from this customers mistakes - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co-Founder , Budget Right Handyman

The project went great! Luiz Martinez came over from Budget Right to do the work and he was excellent. He did the project in the estimated amount of time, it came in in the estimated budget, and the work was done well. I will plan on using Budget Right again and Luiz Martinez again for sure

Once again, everything went great. Jesse Morris was our technician on the previous Monday and turned around and was back on the following Tuesday. He was happy to come back and did an excellent job. We thought we might have to remove some drywall because the towel rack was not attached to a "stud." Jesse fixed the problems quickly and professionally. It is nearing the holiday and we were thrilled that we didn't have to paint. Again, it was a pleasure to have him do our repairs.

Scheduling was easy and the assigned technician, Jarred, was able to come out within 48 hours. He was pleasant, worked quickly, and did nice work. When one of the fixtures didn't work exactly as I needed, he came back the next day at no charge thanks to their warranty. And the price was very reasonable.

Duane Negrillo is a very skilled electrician. He is kind, courteous and professional. He really goes the extra mile to make sure his work is done in an excellent manner. Duane has done work for us previously on 2 occasions. He is on time and works tirelessly until the job is complete. He appears to be very concerned with doing a good job and seeing that the customer is satisfied with his work. We are very happy with the way all the projects turned out including this last project. Duane did exactly what we requested, however; he made the job look even better than what we had imagined!

Jesse was a true professional. Right from the get-go I could tell he truly knew to approach the project. I had hired another handy man outfit the week before and they totally messed it up. Jesse worked like an experienced tradesman and fixed all the exterior door and frame issues leaving to look as good as brand new construction! It can't be understated that when you get someone who really knows what they are doing, it's will make all the difference. I'd trust Jesse and Budget Right Handyman with any carpentry project around the house. Top notch service!
Description of Work: i had an exterior vinyl door that needed to have adjusted so that the locking mechanisms lined up with the holes, redo the threshold, replace rubber striping at the top frame, sand down the top frame level the door so it would close tight, attach sweep to the inside of the door and caulk the storm door and re-do the sweep of the storm door.

Duane N has come out a few times to fix various jobs in our house, from plumbing related to drywall and paint issues. He's done an excellent job each time, oftentimes going above and beyond by sharing his knowledge about various things around the house as an added bonus. He's friendly and professional and was ahead of the Covid precautions even before it started to become a thing with businesses. I can't recommend him more and I'm glad we finally found someone to count on for odd job repairs (he also does larger jobs based on our conversations). Budget Right has got themselves a brand builder as Duane's work certainly reflects well on the company. Pricing is in line with value, which is all you can ask for, as Duane will get it right the first time.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
We work on a time and materials basis. We have the customer acknowledge, with a signature, before we even start the work that if they are not satisified with the progress they can have our service technician stop at any time. The question in my mind is why did this individual continue to have our service technician perform work if they were disappointed. Often times customers underestimate how long task take to perform. - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co Founder, Budget Right Handyman
