We called, arranged date of service. On date of service Budget Right's Matt called to change the date to the following day because he was "too busy that day" to make it. Could we re-schedule for the following day at 2:30? Yes, that will be fine! Matt called the next day (of service) Can we change the time to 3:30 instead? Yes, we'll be here. Matt called about 4:30. Hey, I'm stuck in traffic and then I have to go and... Do you want to re-schedule? I have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday open. Matt: I'll have to check back with you when I get home. Okay. Budget Right never called back. We put the air conditioner in ourselves. We do still need handy man work done. Can we apply our coupon to another 2 hours with someone else?

We did no work on this job. He can get a refund through Angie's List. Sorry it didn't work out. We live and die by our schedule this time we died.

This is our second experience with Budget Right Handyman, and we'll keep coming back to them. Our scheduling was difficult due to coordination with neighbors, but BRH worked with us to lock in an appointment time that would work. We appreciate the fact that this company sets actual appointment times instead of two or three hour windows where you're held captive waiting. And they show up on time. The light fixtures were installed cleanly, and everything works fine. Very nice. And the whole thing only took an hour. We weren't thrilled about a 100-watt bulb being left on in a 60-watt fixture all day, but at least it was brought to our attention. The bulb was swapped out immediately once someone was available to do it that evening.
Description of Work: Installed two new light fixtures in common area stairway.

I purchased an Angie's List deal for 2 hours of handyman setvices. He got a lot done in those two hours but in retrospect, the work was bit shoddy. The caulk was roughly applied and I ended up diggingit out and redoing it myself, the trim didn't meet quite right and again, I ended up redoing parts of it myself.
Description of Work: Hung trim for one side of one interior door, caulked the line where my single pedestal sink meets the wall, adjusted the trim on an exterior door.

I bought a pre-packaged set of hours and could not get their calendar to line up with mine so had to find other provider. They were nice about wanting to help but their waiting time was too long for me as I needed to get my house ready to go on the market.

See above. He cleaned up after himself very well.
Description of Work: I has the handyman caulk all the cracks around my windows that were letting in cold air throughout the winter. He did a good job, though when I inspected more closely after he left I realized he could have use a lot more caulk than he did. He ran out of time for the 2 hrs. that I had puerchased as a special deal. In my opinion he did not use enough caulk, though he was very neat and it looks good. I'll find out next winter how good the job actually was.

So very happy with the work that was done this morning! I've been without under cabinet lights in the kitchen for a year and now it's beautiful. He did a few more small but urgent projects for me and I'm thrilled to have them all off my "honey do" list! Will call them again in a heartbeat to do more work.
Description of Work: Installed under cabinet light in the kitchen Fixed several bi-fold doors that had either fallen on the track, fell apart at the bottom of the door or came loose from the wall Fixed broken wall sconce Changed out several wall switches that were broken

We need drywall replaced from 3 walls in a room. Contacted the provider, they responded in timely manner with no issues. They had some questions and requested pictures of the room - all of the above was provided. We liked their price and were about to schedule with them. However, In the last email with the final estimate, they asked us why we need to remove the drywall. I did explain to them is because of bad paint that was put on 3 months ago. At this moment they cancelled on us. I called them and spoke to one of their rep. The response I got was - we are not interested, good bye. I hanged up the phone on them. I understand they are not obligated to do business with anyone. I understand they have the right to pick the jobs they do. However, They should have a list of things they don't do or at least ask all of their questions in the beginning. I guess what I am trying to say is - have a backup plan when working with this provider.
Description of Work: I can't speak for the quality of their work because work was not performed at all but their commitment to new customers is lacking.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
We did no work for this individual. While in the process of setting an appointment we were informed they were replacing the walls because the paint had a foul odor. We've never encountered latex paint that would continue to smell once it had dried. We advised the customer to seek the advice of either a painter or an HVAC contractor who had more experience in the mitigation of smells.

Absolutely wonderfully. Tom was punctural, informative and very helpful. He completed what was needed within the alloted time. We left the area neat and clean and provided helpful suggestions. \If I could afford it I would hire them to do all my household repairs. He even doubled checked with his company on additional work that I needed to have done to see if the company would provide that particular service. Tom provided excellent service and we would highly recommended this company! Sandra
Description of Work: Tom replaced a kitchen faucet, laundry basin drain pipe & new light fixture in the dinning room.

I had two hours to fill and lots of potential projects for Ken, the handyman sent out, to do. He walked me through what would be involved in each instance and I decided to go with the most urgent. Ken gave me good ideas on how to handle the other problems in the future. He was thorough, polite, and hard working. I?d hire him again, no problem.
