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

Within two minutes of his arrival, the technician made an extremely inappropriate remark to me. Honestly one of the most inappropriate remarks someone has ever made to me, especially given the context. It caught me completely off guard, and as any woman who has been in this situation knows, it immediately turns in to trying to decide how to best handle it (ask him to leave and risk a confrontation? Let him finish the work and report later, with the risk it gets ignored? etc.). Decided to let him work and reach out to the company later to request this technician is not assigned to me again. However, they have not confirmed that is possible, so I will not book them again. Work: I got a ceiling fan installed. He said it would take about an hour- ended up there for two and a half hours. He charged me for less, which was appreciated. At one point, he called me in to look at pictures on his phone of him hanging on the ceiling bracket to show how strong it was. At one point later, he disappeared for over 15 minutes. At the end of the day, we have a new installed ceiling fan, so glad we got that. The technician also smelled very strongly of smoke, to the point we had to air out our house and douse our room in Febreze. I've given BudgetRight Handyman several chances- I've had mixed success, and this recent experience will be my last.

We have a call and email into this customer to find out exactly what was said. We have a zero tolerance policy against this type of behavior and even have our field technicians sign an agreement to said effect. If something inappropriate was said this individual will be gone. As the judge, jury and executioner I plan on hearing all the evidence before passing judgement. Rest assured this will be addressed. - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co Founder, Budget Right Handyman

Duane arrived on time and I explained my concerns about the wiring in one of the outlet boxes. He processed my input and began immediately with the install, which included some modification in the outlet box. Before I could have read the installation guide, he was nearly done with the work, very professional.

We did no work for this customer. We explained to him over the phone that we work on a time and materials basis when he set up the appointment. We informed him of how long this project would typically take, our labor rate and what day we could be out to assist him. We stuck to the schedule and showed up with tools in hand. He met us at the door and contratary to our prior arangement, indicated that he did not want the work performed; he just wanted a free estimate. We walked not wanting this individual to waste any more of our field techs time. During these trying times we only ask that you respect our field techs efforts to earn a living and not schedule a full day appointment and then back out. - Dirk D.

Description of Work: Worker showed up with no drywall and no means to obtain drywall so I went to Home Depot to get it myself. The worker was kind and did a good job on the ceiling repair but the wall repair was definitely sub par. When challenged on this the response was that paint will just cover it up.

It went well enough. We were not able to get the job completed on the first day that Budget Right came out due to not being able to secure the actual physical materials in a timely enough fashion needed to complete the job same day. So we rescheduled, and the job was able to be completed in a single day. We had a reschedule twice actually, but their office was really good about keeping in touch and communicating scheduling changes and why they were necessary.

On September 10, 2020, Jesse Morris came out to rod out our bathroom toilet. He was very polite and did a great job. Jesse did not mind us taking his temperature and asking him to wear booties that we provided because we have a new floor. He went straight to work and brought his own garbage bags to clean up any debris and took the debris out to the garbage can for us. He even saved us some money on a new wax ring that I thought I might need. He informed me that unless I was having any leaks the latex ring that was installed previously should last a while.
